Doesn't seem to have significant coverage in reliable sources. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 16:21, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Other regional leagues have even further sources, but the ones I created are the problem. I'm at least perplexed.Whispered11

• Keep - This is a little tricky because the structure of Japan's football league system is a bit different. First, WP:FOOTYN states that "All leagues whose members are eligible for national cups are assumed notable." In Japan, the national cup is the Emperor's Cup. The teams eligible for that are J1 and J2 teams, a JFL seed team, and the winners of 47 prefectural tournaments. While the champions of each of the regional leagues like this one are not automatically entered in the national cup, each member is certainly eligible and, in fact, the Emperor's Cup representatives of the four Shikoku prefectures are mostly from this league (3 of the 4 this year, for instance[1]) because these are the best of the teams in the region. For all intents and purposes, then, I think this satisfies the requirement (as do other regional leagues). Michitaro (talk) 12:41, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Michitaro appears to pass WP:FOOTY per All leagues whose members are eligible for national cups are assumed notable. Teijin SC the champions in 2016 in this league is taking part in the 2016 Emperor's Cup .As they participates in the Emperor's Cup they are notable.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 06:53, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
