Non-notable footballer as he has never played a notable league Eddie6705 (talk) 00:41, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Subject does not appear notable as I read WP:ATHLETE. The article for the Southern Football League, in which this footballer plays, states that the league is comprised of semi-pro and amateur clubs. WP:ATHLETE requires play in a fully professional league or at the highest level of amateur play. The article on Southern Football League Premier Division, the division in which this athlete plays, states that it is the seventh tier in the English football league system which clearly indicates that this is not the highest level.

• Question Southern League Premier Division is not a notable league? I'm not familiar with English football, but Stanbridge has received coverage TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 01:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I'd have to say I agree with the nom. I like to think that if I'd stayed in the UK I might have played for Brackley myself (I was in a team that was basically a "feeder" youth side)... but it certainly isn't at the level of notability (good to see they finished this season one place above Banbury, though :) As to TC's query, the BGB Southern League is notable enough for teams to have articles (it is three flights below the bottom of the official English Football League, and therefore flight seven in the greater scheme of things); it is not, however, notable enoguh for individual players to have articles. Perhaps a smerge of info into the article on the club as part of a "current squad' section is worthwhile? Grutness...wha? 01:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Thanks for the explanation, I don't know too much about the structure of leagues, but that made it clear. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 01:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
