Draft:2025–26 Qatar Stars League

  • Comment: Already determined in a deletion discussion a month ago. This draft is also continuously submitted with little if any improvement showing notable. CNMall41 (talk) 22:12, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please stop wasting reviewer's time by continually resubmitting without improvement. Greenman (talk) 22:21, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: There is not enough information about the 2025-26 season to warrant an article. This article says that there will be a season. We knew that.
    At a minimum, a schedule of some or all of the games, and the results of the games that have been played (which at least one has) should be included before resubmission. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:22, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: No improvements since the previous decline. Will be notable, but of the two current sources, one is a 404, and the second is not independent. Greenman (talk) 10:39, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: The article lacks independent sources to establish notability. It also doesn't cite any reliable sources. TurboSuperA+(connect) 06:17, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
