Not played for first team yet WikiGull 10:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:


 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. WikiGull 10:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep all All four appear to be considered members of the first team squad (they have squad numbers) and at a club of Milan's stature that's enough to satisfy WP:BIO ChrisTheDude 10:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep They appeared as unused subs. Matthew_hk   t  c  12:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep they are first-team squad members at one of the world's biggest clubs. ArtVandelay13 23:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete they're not part of the first team at all. It is a common use by Italian teams to assign first name numbers to youth team players regardless of their actual presence in the first team. And, as you can see, they're not listed in the AC Milan first team squad page. --Angelo 23:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, 3 of them have been unused subs in Serie A and/or the Coppa Italia. And the best and most objective reason of deciding whether someone is a first-team squad member is to see if they have a squad number (and it's a criteria usually used in these debates) - there must be a reason why these have been given numbers, while other youth players haven't.

 * Question - What happens should they leave Milan with no appearances and then not play any further games that would make them notable? Do they then retain notability on the grounds that they were once on the bench for a cup tie? WikiGull 12:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, notability can be a transient thing; at the moment they pass, but if they get released and don't find a pro club by the following season, they can be reconsidered. ArtVandelay13 12:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep If they make the squad then in my mind notability is met. There's a slight problem with Italian football in that there's is no League Cup and hence, less of a chance for young players to get senior games. To say they made the squad for a league game would put them on a par as having played in a League Cup game in other European countries. Niall123 18:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
