Contested prod. This footballer has only ever played in the 8th tier of the football association - wp:football states that this is not a professional league. There is no assertion of notability outside football. 2 of the references in the article are from the club's web site the 3rd leads to the wikipedia article on his high school. The user who contested the prod quoted another reference from the local Skegness paper which is a summary of one of the references from the web site. Porturology (talk) 12:56, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Neutral - I contested the PROD, but I appear to have misread something when I did. I was under the impression Boston United was part of Football Conference, but that is not actually the case.  Many players in that league are notable, but few in their actual Northern Premier League are notable.  It could be argued that Millson technically meets the GNG with these sources:  plus being part of numerous team articles (including being one of only 3 players kept at the end of the season).  If any player on the team is notable, it is probably Millson, but I am doubtful that any player is.  --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:47, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - playing for a football team at this level doesn't make you notable enough for an article automatically, and there are no sources showing he is notable for a different reason. He is still only 19 though, so he could become notable later in his career, but WP:CRYSTAL applies until he actually is. Thryduulf (talk) 11:29, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Individual does not appear notable. rmosler (talk) 06:09, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
