The general consensus is that all leagues within the top 11 levels of the English football league system are notable enough for their own article. This league operates at level 14 and below and is comparable to the recently deleted Halifax and District Association Football League and Guildford and Woking Alliance League.

Google News and Google Books coverage is largely in passing and from sources that are not independent from the organisation and its teams. Although there are some relevant hits in British newspapers for Kingston and District League and Kingston and District Football League, the first few pages all appear to be just simple results listings and brief roundups, often only taking up a very small fraction of the page of the newspaper, all of which are hyperlocal ones like West Surrey Times and Surrey Advertiser, indicating that the topic is not notable enough for a global encyclopaedia, which doesn't wish to show any unnecessary bias. WP:INDISCRIMINATE also applies. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:26, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
