Contested prod, original reason was "Footballer who has never played in a fully professional league - fails WP:BIO", contested by CJPargeter with an edit summary "Object to propsed deletion, as subject meets WP:N, having attracted attention from reliable sources." In fact, if he has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources then he meets WP:BIO too. In such case such coverage should be shown. Jhon y    16:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions.  Jhon  y    16:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly fails WP:BIO and the attention from reliable sources is made irrelavant by this. Sean Thomas (English footballer) should also be deleted for the same reason. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  16:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Question? Is the role of the secondary criteria to replace the primary criteria over the field they cover, to supplement it, by providing an alternative justification, or to add to it be requiring that both they and the publication criteria be met. as far as i can tell the official line is that they merely act as a shorthand for predicting whether the primary criterion is overwhelmingly likely or not to be met. If they are merely predictive, then an article with 2 RSs discussing his putative career would stand  regardless of whether he ever actually played a game in any league at all. There is however only one source at present, but there would probably be another, and then he would be notable. Personally, I think that's nonsense, and the correct view is that they replace the primary criterion. Does that have general acceptance? Or is it only in sports that they replace it?
 * Well, WP:BIO says as it's base criteria "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.". That surely overrides everything else. Either someone is notable or not. You can't be notable from one rule. and then become unnotable again from another. But I don't think it applies yet.

 * Delete per nom and WP:BIO. -  Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  22:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete currently fails WP:FOOTY, but if more second party sources are added I will change my vote. John Hayestalk 20:16, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
