David Williams (footballer born 1990)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

He has never played at a professional level. Does not meet criteria per WP:Athlete and WP Football notability. Ɔrassic  (talk) 00:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Football-related deletion discussions.   --  Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  00:40, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability per WP:ATHLETE; also poorly named article. JJL (talk) 01:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's actually quite common for multiple players of the same name and/or nationality. But after looking at the disambig page, yes, it actually is a bad title. Ɔrassic   (talk) 02:56, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete for failing to meet notability threshold. Eddie.willers (talk) 02:44, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - unless the fact that his youth club was Manchester United F.C. turns out to be true --T-rex 03:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Being a youth player&mdash;regardless of club&mdash;does not confer notability. Ɔrassic   (talk) 03:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesn't meet requirements of WP:ATHLETE or the debated WP:FOOTYN -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ATHLETE (youth players with no first team appearances in a fully professional league are not notable). --Angelo (talk) 07:52, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per other noms and WP:ATHLETE --Numyht (talk) 09:48, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:ATHLETE. LonelyBeacon (talk) 10:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Youth players that have not appeared in a fully professional league do not satisfy the notability criteria for athletes. WilliamH (talk) 10:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. --Jimbo[online] 15:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete has not played a professional game yet Sceptre (talk) 15:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:ATHLETE, no professional games, can be re-created when he makes his debut for Oldham. Sunderland06  (talk) 16:19, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:ATHLETE ukexpat (talk) 19:52, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I hate to ruin everyone's day, but he signed for a premier league club, Oldham Athletic A.F.C. only yesterday. That's sufficiently notable.  Can't expect him to play the day after he is first signed up, can you? Myrrideon (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * How many of those who signed for a club ever have a chance to play? SYSS Mouse (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Once he makes a league appearance, then we'll recreate the article. Until then, he's not notable whatsoever. Ɔrassic   (talk) 21:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Either you're 14 years behind the times, or from another dimension, but Oldham Athletic haven't been a Premier League club since 1994. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  23:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Clearly fails WP:ATHLETE. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  23:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 16:23, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete he fails WP:Athlete and there's no evidence he could merit an article under any of the other WP:Bio categories. Vickser (talk) 21:35, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - The subject is non-notable as per WP:ATHLETE. I did a Google search and all that same up was a poker player with the same name and a comedian with the same name. Nothing about David Williams the footballer showed up, so no reliable (or any) sources means a non-notable subject. Thanks, RyRy  ( talk ) 09:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
