Contested PROD. Plays for a team that is not fully professional, so fails WP:NFOOTY and hasn't received significant media coverage so fails WP:GNG too. JMHamo (talk) 18:19, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:NFOOTY as has played semi-competitive sport. Wikiproject Cricket have established this and you are not allowed to question it. And I see no reason why that shouldn't apply to football too. For the same reason, that trumps WP:GNG and also WP:BLP. I do not necessarily hold these views myself, but am voting in line with my understanding of policy, as has been explained to me. Thanks for your understanding.

Uhh, played in a semi-competitive sport. That is without a doubt a clear failure of WP:NFOOTBALL. And we're talking about football, not cricket. – Michael (talk) 00:42, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This looks like another case of someone making up their own criteria. Doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG.204.126.132.231 (talk) 20:14, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How many times are we gonna have arguments like this? The article fails notability guidelines and rather than looking at the guidelines, people claim that "he's on the first team squad", "he's gonna make his debut soon", "he's a professional footballer", etc. Those arguments are never going to cut it. Also since I mentioned that this article fails the notability guidelines, I vote delete. – Michael (talk) 00:48, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:55, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
