Contested PROD, no reason given. Football player fails WP:ATH as he has never played in a fully-professional league or competition. --Jimbo[online] 07:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:ATHLETE as he has yet to make an appearance at a fully pro level. Although sources are given in this article, they don't really establish him as a notable player. Bettia   (bring on the trumpets!)  08:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom; non-notable footballer who fails WP:ATHLETE. Recreate if and when he becomes by playing in a fully-pro league. GiantSnowman 09:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable athlete. John Asfukzenski (talk) 10:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet to play in a professional league. Spiderone (talk) 16:30, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Played in the Premier Reserve League . --Ilion2 (talk) 05:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Playing in the reserves isn't notable. Spiderone (talk) 08:15, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. According to Premier Reserve League this league is Level 1 league and this player played in this league. And this player is employed by a Premier League club and played for this club in this league. Any proof for your thesis? --Ilion2 (talk) 15:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. If that is true then players like Davide Petrucci and Daniel Drinkwater should have pages since they've played in the reserves. Spiderone (talk) 15:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is no word about Premier Reserve League in the disussion about Davide Petrucci. The deletion reason for Daniel Drinkwater was "blatant vandalism", not notability. Whe are here to create an encyclopedia, not to delete one. Thanks for supporting this. --Ilion2 (talk) 17:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Hmm still need another opinion I think. I've not seen a case of a player passing notability through playing in the reserves. If there's a similar article out there then it's fine but I can't find one. Spiderone (talk) 17:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The Premier Reserve League is not a fully professional league - it's a league of reserve teams, as the name suggests. Since he hasn't played for Portsmouth, he doesn't pass WP:ATHLETE. Black Kite 09:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - the reserve team league is not fully pro, as it's quite common for teams to field kids from the youth teams in the reserves to toughen them up a bit. If we were to consider playing for the reserves sufficient to pass WP:ATHLETE then essentially every player who's ever been on the books of a pro club would be notable, even if they never played for the first team, as they will have all played for the reserves at some point.  And at a time when many editors are questioning the fact that every player who's ever played for a professional club's first team is considered notable, we really don't need to open a new can of worms by suggesting that all those that never made it past the reserves are inherently notable as well..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:15, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
