Fails both WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnelwaq (talk • contribs)


 * Delete - Has not played for the first team so fails WP:NFOOTY automatically and does not meet WP:GNG. Blethering   Scot  23:16, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: for now. I agree he doesn't meet the technical requirements, but he's playing in preseason matches, and it's premature to consign him to the second team; this is an article that if deleted now may well just be speedily recreated.  The first league fixture is day after tomorrow. Not only played in all but one preseason match after his signing, as well as in the two Cup matches, but played in the first league fixture today, thus meeting WP:NFOOTY without any question.

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Ravenswing - please see WP:CRYSTAL - we should not keep articles on possible future notability. GiantSnowman 10:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - If and when he makes his first team debut, he may be notable, but not now. As others have already stated, he has not received significant coverage or played in a fully pro league, meaning this article fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 11:26, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom – he hasn't played in a fully pro league or received significant media coverage. – Kosm  1  fent  13:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: As was readily predictable - speaking of WP:CRYSTAL - the moment competitive matches began, the subject was on the field, playing in matches for the Scottish Challenge Cup and the Scottish League Cup, both of which in fact qualify him under WP:FOOTY's second criterion ... and had done so before this AfD was opened, something which surprised me that not a single Delete proponent noticed.  I call on the nom to withdraw this AfD.   Ravenswing   15:05, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * At FOOTYN: "The player section of this notability guidance has been superseded by WP:Notability (sports)", a guideline where playing in a cup competition doesn't justify notability. – Kosm  1  fent  17:11, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ... and, as eminently predictable, played in the first league fixture today . Any more point to this?   Ravenswing   15:29, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. He appeared in the Scottish Second Division, which is not a fully professional league. – Kosm  1  fent  15:43, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:GNG with articles such as, . Nfitz (talk) 21:23, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The first is a match report, the second is transfer news, making both sources routine coverage and insufficient for general notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:41, 12 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - article about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league (the only match he played was at the third tier in Scotland) or represented his country at senior level, which means that it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 22:14, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
