He has never played at a fully professional. WP:FOOTYN. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 05:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep It appears that he has played in fully professional games at a glance. South Nashua (talk) 06:12, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Where? Elgin City and Brechin City are semi-professional clubs. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:41, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

*Keep - meets WP:GNG with media coverage such as this and this - as I pointed out when I removed the Prod. Nfitz (talk) 16:45, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - only ever played in Scottish Divisions 2/3 (see Soccerbase EL on article), so never played in a WP:FPL, failing WP:NFOOTBALL. Also no evidence of significant coverage, failing WP:NFOOTBALL. you might want to re-glance... GiantSnowman 09:21, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Keep vote above is incorrect, player has nefever been attached to a club in a fully professional league. Fenix down (talk) 16:51, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - That'll be why it went to AfD, no one is notable for one goal they scored, WP:BLP1E would be relevant even if this was a notable goal. These sources are just routine match reporting. Furthemore, they're both about the same thing, they even use exactly the same photo to illustrate each brief article. I'm not sure how you can confuse two articles about the same, single goal with GNG. Fenix down (talk) 17:13, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Both go well beyond routine match reporting. But yes, you are right, if it's the same goal, then BL1PE would apply. I thought I'd seen a third article when I was looking yesterday, but couldn't squeeze anything more on the Prod line - and have more limited access now. I'll have to research again later. Nfitz (talk) 17:58, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Digging deeper - there isn't much more. So I've struck my keep - for now at least. Nfitz (talk) 04:09, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * He scored one goal in a game between a junior club (Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic) and a semi-professional club (Dumbarton). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 23:13, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * That's beside the point. Nfitz (talk) 04:09, 14 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete none of the coverage rises above being routine and he never played in a fully professional league.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:51, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
