Adam Wilson (footballer)

 * Delete- WP:ATHLETE is fake. Someone keeps playing jokes and entering sensitive information, including name, date of birth and birthplace of a friend of mine. He is upset about this. This "player" doesn't exist so I have had no choice but to replace the sensitive information with fake information until this article is deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.231.178.98 (talk) 03:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Fails WP:ATHLETE as player signed for a club in a professional league (Huddersfield Town), but never 'competed' for them, so is non-notable. - RD (Talk) 21:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete- WP:ATHLETE is currently in the process of being made less crappy, so it's not a good idea to invoke it right now. However, this article has no sources and is about a sportsperson who doesn't come anywhere near meeting the more general requirements of WP:BIO. Reyk  YO!  21:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * True, but I didn't think anything was going to change within WP:ATHLETE to allow those who don't play for major clubs to be listed as notable, so I thought it was still applicable. - RD (Talk) 21:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - we have a well established standard for footballers and that is that they must have played for a club in a fully professional league. In this case, though he was in the Huddersfield Town squad, he didn't make it onto the pitch. Consequently he well fails the accepted threshold. TerriersFan (talk) 22:20, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - never played professionally, and now only playing in the third-highest level of non-professional play, so any changes/clarifications to WP:ATHLETE would not help his case anyway...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:58, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
