Chris Hegarty (Northern Irish footballer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Player has not made appearances in a fully pro league. Only in the 2012-13 Third Division. He doesn't have enough independent sources to back GNG. The only source in article if for another player and stats are false. In fact the article talks about Mitchell which is what the source was for. Blethering  Scot  17:10, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I've stripped out all the material that was from another player's biography, so the article is now sourced to several news articles. Hence that issue is one that can be handled by normal editing. As to the normal fully-pro league WP:NFOOTY criterion, the club for which he plays are an anomaly, as a full-time team playing in the Scottish 4th tier this season (against part-time clubs like my own). As well as featuring the USA National team captain, they have signed and continue to sign players such as Hegarty, who is Northern Ireland U21 Captain according to the BBC. I'm inclined to think that their players should be an exception to the WP:NFOOTY norm? AllyD (talk) 20:47, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Go ahead and prove that the article passes WP:GNG. I believe it would be easier to get a Rangers-player to pass GNG, then any other player in the world playing in an amateur-league. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: Fails GNG and NFOOTY. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 01:40, 29 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 08:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league, or received significant coverage, meaning this article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 10:00, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - article is about a footballer that hasn't played in fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG as there isn't enough coverage about the footballer. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
