Unless he has played for Derby he doesn't pass WP:ATHLETE Spiderone  16:49, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. He has never played in the Football League for either Blackpool or Derby. GiantSnowman 17:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Does not fail WP:GNG as a Google News search shows significant coverage in newspapers. In addition, this search appears to show that he did have a contract with Albion.  Chzz  ►  17:52, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * When I click on that Google News link, I just get the message "Your search did not match any documents".......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete footballer fails notability for sportspeople at WP:ATH as he hasn't played at a fully-professional level. Having a contract at a club isn't sufficient as thousands of players have had contracts but never played at a fully-professional level. Fails WP:GNG due to independent coverage about his exploits as a player, just the usual run of the mill reports/transfer news/player profiles which fail WP:NTEMP. Google searches do not confer notabilty. --Jimbo[online] 18:58, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete concur with Jimbo and nom. WP:ATHLETE failure and coverage is all non-notable run-of-mill coverage as all players down to local level get. Simply having your name in the paper is not notability-- Club Oranje T 21:34, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
