This is a fourth division league. Fails to satisfy Football notability Guidelines. Would like to take into account all other teams/players in this league.

Withdrawn by nominator That's was a big miss, obviously. Consider it Keep scope_creep talk 17:15 4 Aug 2014 (UTC)

• Speedy keep Is this a joke? Firstly why on earth is a fourth-tier league not notable? Secondly, although it's the fourth tier now, it was at one point the second tier in Israeli football. Thirdly, and most importantly, the nominator does not appear to have read the guidelines they are quoting (which is actually an essay). It quite clearly states that "All leagues whose members are eligible for national cups are assumed notable." Liga Bet clubs play in the Israel State Cup, and therefore the league meets this criteria.

• Delete - As noted by Number 57, Liga Bet teams are eligible to play in the Israel State Cup. According to WP:FOOTYN: "All leagues whose members are eligible for national cups are assumed notable." Hence, this league is not considered assumed notable. Weak keep as the assumption is unlikely to hold for all fourth tier leagues and does not seem to be particularly applicable here.-- Rpclod ( talk) 21:15, 3 August 2014 (UTC) reply

• Keep. Definitely keep, this is absolutely eligible without a shadow of a doubt based on the League notability. all the clubs are taking part in the national cup. lots of history in this league as well, and beside that, just to mention, last season, Maccabi Sektzia Ma'alot-Tarshiha, which have played in Liga Bet, the fourth tier, reached the quarter finals of the national cup. definitely eligible Franforce ( talk) 00:55, 4 August 2014 (UTC) reply
