Non-notable footballer. Contested PROD. Prod reason was "Given the club's league level, it is unlikely that its players can be considered automatically notable. There is nothing here to indicate individual notability". This is still the case. The subject does get hits in Google News but it all seems to be local coverage. I don't think he meets WP:ATHLETE.

 * Delete. Non-notable player for a non-notable club. If he ends up playing (and not only trialling, not even just signing would be enough) for a pro club, then the article can be created.

 * Delete Does not meet WP:Athlete. The player needs to have played in a fully professional league to warrrant an article in the encyclopedia, which in England means the Premier League or the Football League. The Wessex League Premier Division where Poole Town F.C. plays is a long way below that level. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:26, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:ATHLETE however I expect that it is only a matter of time before this article will need to be recreated. He has already had two trials with AFC Bournemouth, and is currently playing for their reserve team as well as Poole Town. It seems that Bournemouth's transfer embargo is the only thing stopping him from signing as a first team player. Mahahahaneapneap (talk) 22:37, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
