Article was deleted recently. Has since been re-created. Player fails WP:GNG and WP:ATHLETE. Signing for Newcastle after failing at Lens does not constitute notability. JS^{Rant Away} 23:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not worthy of a delete since the player is highly rated was wanted by several clubs and has numerous articles about the transfer of the player as evidence, as for "failed" he was never given a professional contract nor a chance to play in the first team but that could have been for any reason ie financial, the fact Lens had been relegated etc. He has had 12 appearances for Lens B and score 3 goals good start to a promising career from A Central DEFENDING Midfielder, Hardly classed as a fail! He has played well at under 17 and under 18 level, The fact of the matter is this player will be one of the 25 in the Newcastle squad. To delete the article now would be pointless when a new one will need to be created in a few months when the English Premier League commences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazza25784 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: ... because, of course, 18 year olds play in the Premiership all the time. Not. The subject continues to fail WP:ATHLETE. If and when he ever plays at a fully professional level, he may well qualify for an article. Right now, he does not, however "promising" his career allegedly is.  ῲ Ravenswing ῴ  06:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All these players played before or at the age of 18 In the Premier League: Walcott, Ramsey, Rooney, Wilshire, Armand Traore, Stewart Downing, Daniel Sturridge, Phil Neville, Gary Neville, Jack Rodwell, Andy Carroll, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, Ryan Giggs, Phil Jones, Rafael, Fabio, But to name a few. If you refused to give them a page because they are 18 you are an idiot. There are plenty more young players play in the Premier league learn about the League before you comment. Once He makes his debut in a few months you will have to backtrack and allow the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazza25784 (talk • contribs) 12:13, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: The player does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL - it is a simple as that. It has nothing to do with his age. Read WP:NFOOTBALL before making such comments, Lazza. Your language is inappropriate.Keallu (talk) 19:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete - per G4. This article is not substantially different then the one that was previously deleted. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:02, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
