Non-league footballer, only really gained independent coverage for one event and otherwise likely to remain low-profile, which is a classic example of WP:BLP1E. I might add he never played in a fully professional league or in a match involving two fully-professional teams. C 679 00:28, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I feel the article is just below WP:GNG a lot of citations arn't direct to the player and more about the clubs he has played for. However I agree and go by WP:BLP1E as Cloudz has pointed out. Govvy (talk) 16:21, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league, thus failing WP:NSPORT and there is insufficient coverage for him to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:06, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG as the subject hasn't received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Most of the citations in the article does not address the subject in detail, and not enough to pass GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 21:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
