Contested prod. This footballer only played 20 minutes in his whole career, in a Scottish Challenge Cup match against a semi-professional club. I think he therefore fails WP:ATHLETE, as elaborated upon in the football notability guidelines. Although several sources are provided, most just mention his name as part of a list and do not go into any depth on his football activities. His conviction for arson does not make him notable either.

 * Delete: It could be construed that he meets criteria within WP:ATHLETE and WP:FOOTYN since he played at the highest level of professional football. However, despite the guidelines, I just don't think 20 minutes of competing at a professional level meets notability requirements. Chasingsol (talk) 18:00, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Has made a competitive first team appearance for a professional football side. Ck12 (talk) 19:17, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete because he played against a semi-pro side, he does not meet WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 21:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't accept that 20 minutes in a cup match against a semi-pro outfit connotes notability for a footballer. Jogurney (talk) 04:29, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: I too would have to question the importance of 20 minutes. If the individual had saved a sinking ship or ended a battle in 20 minutes, notability would be shown. However, in this case, I also question the entry as it was merely for semi-pro activities. Royalhistorian (talk) 06:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, even if he played, using common sense is allowed. Punkmorten (talk) 17:26, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
