The result was   delete. This closure was quite difficult, as Budd has represented his country. However, the main issue is whether futsal is a sport in which representing your country is noteworthy. Had Budd participated at a futsal world cup or European championship, it may have been different, but to date he has not. пﮟოьεԻ  5  7  14:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Footballer fails WP:ATHLETE as he has never played in a fully-professional league/competition. Also playing international futsal, doesn't pass any notability guidelines. The only source provided is from The Football Association which is reporting on one of it's own teams, no secondary verifiable sources are provided. Since it's last nom over a year ago, no edits of any substance have been made - only statiscal updates. --Jimbo[online] 08:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep as international futsal player, the main keep argument put forward in the previous AFD discussion. That the English team plays at a very poor level does not alter the verified fact that the subject has played full international sport for his country. CJPargeter (talk) 07:55, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete futsal is an amateur game, and I see no evidence he actually played in the highest amateur level for the sport (which is the Futsal World Cup, I think). And, more importantly, I fail to see any evidence of WP:N being actually met (no reliable third-party sources that cover the subject with considerable detail; a quick Google News search returns no hits at all, btw). --Angelo (talk) 09:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
