Youth football season with no indication of notability. Pretty much every yearly edition of this article is sourced only to primary sources. I don't see a possible redirect target, either, as no article for the youth league itself exists. JTtheOG (talk) 03:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, such stub articles are notable. The winner of this competition qualifies to Uefa competition, such articles exists also for Spain , England U18 level,and few more countries. However I completely agree, there is not enough sources, adding seconfpdary sources will be great. Kolya77 (talk) 05:36, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What exists in other countries is not really relevant to the notability of this article. Are you able to provide any examples of in-depth coverage from independent sources? JTtheOG (talk) 06:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Morning, there is coverage for sure. Technicaly there are plenty news about this league on websites, social media platforms. I just did a google search and I personally found a lot of them. Matches of this U19 league are regulary on Moldovan TV named - We Sport. Also they are available on youtube platform. This is the link - https://www.fmf.md/home/competitii/juniori/liga-tineret-1723368813?menu=news

I personally didnt add a lot of this secondary sources just because this was not my goal. The primary source was able to cover the league table and results of each season. However moldovan FA edited their website and unfortunately all the primary source until the season 2021–22 Moldovan Under-19 Division has gone.

You pointed out the artiifle for the league itself does not exist, just to let you know im planning to make one similar to this one

League of Ireland U19 Division , but im really short of time this days, plus is a festive period in eastern europe until 14 January.however, i will definetly make one, maybe will less words comparing to Ireland U19 league. Kolya77 (talk) 05:33, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Moldovan FA would not be an independent source, since they organize the Moldovan Youth League. Notice how the Irish article you provided is sourced to publications such as The Irish Times, the Irish Examiner, the Connacht Tribune, the Irish Independent, RTÉ.ie, the Evening Echo and The Mayo News. But yes, creating the league article is a good alternative if you were able to find independent sourcing. JTtheOG (talk) 06:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
