Footballer fails WP:ATHLETE as he has not played at fully-professional level of football. Lack of non-trivial significant third-party sources means he also fails the general notability guidelines at WP:GNG. Also fails WP:N. --Leagueofireland (talk) 21:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

*Keep, a full-time pro Delete Keep Spiderone (talk) 12:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Being a full-time pro isn't enough - WP:ATHLETE dictates that you have to play in a full-time pro league, which this player does not! GiantSnowman 12:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but he has played in European ties against professional clubs (eg Randers FC) Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source that he has played in a professional European comp? GiantSnowman 09:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I can help. Here and here. Admittedly Curran didn't play in either of these matches.  JRA _ Westy Qld2  Talk 09:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * He came on as a substitute in the away match. He also played in both games of a CL qualifier against Elfsborg two years ago. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case I'll change my vote to keep. GiantSnowman 10:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
