Contested prod. Has not made a professional appearance as a footballer. Echetus Xe 10:52, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't get deleted. He's probably going pro soon anyway. He's played for England U16 and England U17. An admin said yesterday that if that is so, which it is, then it's fine. How many times do I have to say... Wackslas :) (talk) 10:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"He's probably going pro soon?" Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. And "soon" is relative, especially since he's only sixteen. Delete per WP:NFOOTBALL (as well as WP:TOOSOON). Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 11:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Wikipedia is NOT a crystal ball and the article doesn't cite anything. What admin told you this? Peter.C • talk 11:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nomination. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:08, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Obviously fails WP:NFOOTY. A google search only came up with one article containing "significant coverage" (added now to the article). Unless someone can find some more sources this also fails WP:GNG. J Mo 101 (talk) 12:33, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clearly and easily fails both WP:NFOOTBALL and [{WP:GNG]]. Giant Snowman 13:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - yep, WP:NFOOTBALL says specifically youth players are not notable unless they have played at senior international level or in a fully professional league. Ka renjc 17:26, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there's a difference between speedy deletion and normal deletion. The admin who declined the speedy was correct as his appearances for England U16 / U17 are an assertion of notability. However, these are not enough to meet the relevant notability guidelines, and there don't appear to be enough quality sources to meet the general guidelines either. If he makes an appearance in a fully pro league or senior international match, the article can be recreated - until then, delete. Bettia (talk) 10:43, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
