Keep Unclear how this fails WP:NCRIC or WP:CRIN. The relevant criteria for clubs, teams and venues (which we can use as a model to determine the notability of a league) states:

Difficulty may arise with clubs that have not competed at senior level and, similarly, with venues that have not staged first-class or List A matches. "Minor cricket" is a specific term in the sport that does not necessarily imply a lack of notability; in parallel with sports like association football and baseball, many cricket clubs in "minor leagues" are professionally run and do employ professional players. It is necessary to take an individual view about each country in terms of its own grassroots structure.

(emphasis is mine)

The Qatar T10 league is clearly "minor" but not clearly non-notable. The Qatar league is well-known (at least in Qatar) and has an established presence there. There appears to be a benefit to having the article as this information is readily available elsewhere. The league seems to have First class players which is explicitly a criteria for notability (of individuals) -

WikiProject Cricket participants have adopted the following guidelines for notability of cricket people, men's and women's cricket having equal importance, to qualify as the subject of an article in Wikipedia: [the individual must have] appeared as a player or umpire in at least one cricket match that is judged by a substantial secondary source to have been played at the highest international or domestic level

In general and looks at the criteria it seems as though the players, and potentially the teams in the league are notable for inclusion - and equally the league should also be notable enough.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Thunderstorm008 (talk • contribs)

Merge into Qatar T10 League. There is only one season so far, and no evidence it passes WP:NSEASONS. Qatar is not an important cricketing nation, and this league is not notable enough to have articles for every season (if there is even more than one season of it).

Merge into the Qatar T10 League Only has one season so far and has no evidence which would have pass WP:NSEASONS especially being in a non-cricketing nation like Qatar. HawkAussie (talk) 05:30, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
