Chris Porter (footballer, born 1979)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Doesn't meet WP:GNG: all sources are just statistics sites, his team's site, or mentions him very briefly in passing. Also doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL, as he never played fully professional or in a Tier 1 International Match. Ajshul 😃 (talk) 02:05, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete – poor article that seems like it's done by a paid contributor or for other reasons, a cancer on Wikipedia. I could not find WP:NOTABILITIY Tahadharamsi (talk) 02:55, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - multiple appearances in the Football League, see this. Nomination is fundamentally flawed - have you complied with WP:BEFORE? Very easy for me to verify. GiantSnowman 11:07, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Also doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL, as he never played fully professional" - demonstrably untrue, suggest the nominator revisit his nomination....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:25, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Yes the article is in poor shape and could be improved, however the guy has played more than enough top flight games to qualify under our WP:NFOOTBALL guideline, and if done up correctly I am sure the article should be able to pass GNG quite easily. As GS said, I don't think the nominator has done WP:BEFORE at all. Govvy (talk) 13:51, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment also worth pointing out that (IMO at least) there's literally nothing to suggest that the article was "done by a paid contributor".... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - clearly notable, nomination is nonsense -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep/Comment: Are you sure he's never played fully professionally? At the level of teams he was playing for, he could very easily be only semi-pro, and infact, one of the teams (Bishop Auckland) are apparently totally amateur. I think this article could use some time with a project to properly establish notability or confirm a lack of notability and proceed to a second AFD. Macktheknifeau (talk) 14:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * - he played for two different teams in the EFL. That is a fully professional league -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:12, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Note He has played a total of 12 top flight games, 7 for Darlington and 5 for York City. Govvy (talk) 14:26, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
