Speedy deletion was declined, but the article still has the same issues as two years ago. This article still fails WP:GNG and Mr. Coupe still has not played in a fully pro league. Sir Sputnik (talk) 04:08, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia's soccer notability guideline states the following: "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable." Matt Coupe plays for Gloucester City A.F.C. which is not a fully professional team, and he has no other source of notability. Most other Gloucester City players do not have a Wikipedia page.
