Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elliott Durrell


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep as subject now meets WP:NFOOTY as per recent comments. Consensus with others was to keep article in Draft until subject meets this criteria so bypassing Draft and leaving in mainspace shouldn't be an issue. Nominator withdraws AfD also..

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed by IP, no reason given. Fails WP:GNG (no significant coverage) and WP:NFOOTBALL (has not played in a senior competitive game between two teams from a fully-professional league, only non-league/youth. For the avoidance of doubt, playing in the Football League Trophy either for or against a U21/U23 team is not sufficient to meet NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 14:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

KEEP, Played for a professional team, against a professional team, in a professional competition, no idea why this is even up for debate, literally this Giant Snowman just follows me, revises all my edits and try’s to find loopholes to delete my contributions, I don’t know why I bother Stew jones (talk) 15:20, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * As you have been told multiple times, he does not met NFOOTBALL. He only played for or against a youth team (albeit it in a senior competition). Were both teams from WP:FPLs? No. Therefore he does not meet NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 15:26, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I too will support in keeping the article sorely because the player is being discussed on BBC News. This in turn alone is an RS, and I don't see WP:NOTNEWS applied.--Biografer (talk) 16:51, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Draft or Delete I am happy to draft a fringe league player. That BBC ref is clearly WP:ROUTINE and article also fails WP:GNG at present. Govvy (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * That's true, but I don't think its routine. Other articles of his didn't include BBC ref, because there aren't any.--Biografer (talk) 17:46, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * there already is a draft (and has been since June!). What "significant coverage" is there from the BBC? It's just routine transfer news (ie WP:NOTNEWS). Happens to hundreds of players every year, doesn't make them notable. GiantSnowman 18:59, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Draftify He's played in two cup games in the past week or so, both of which were borderline WP:NFOOTY (FA Cup match against a fifth-division team, and a trophy match which would have counted had they not played the U-23 team.) Deleting this would be dumb since the WP:TOOSOON seems very close, it's not a keep because it doesn't yet pass WP:NFOOTY... let's draftspace 'im! SportingFlyer  talk  22:35, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Draft. Durrell is a league player who has just returned from injury. Realistically, it is very likely he will play a game in EFL League Two in the coming weeks which would make him meet WP:NFOOTY, however the article should only be live once he has done so. If/when Durrell does so, then I will change my vote to keep. Wxmdrgn (talk) 04:15, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment if this is drafted, I ask that it's merged into my pre-exisitng draft. What say you ? GiantSnowman 11:10, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that's an excellent spot for the article. SportingFlyer  talk  11:12, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Keep it there until he meets WP:NFOOTY. Wxmdrgn (talk) 19:30, 15 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. Passes WP:NFOOTY because he made his EFL League Two debut today, and I've added enough references to show that he comes pretty close to GNG anyway, with a lengthy non-league career behind him. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:49, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Changing my vote to keep. Durrell made his EFL League Two debut, in Macclesfield's 2–0 away loss to MK Dons. Therefore, he passes WP:NFOOTY and the article should stay.Wxmdrgn (talk) 18:05, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - at the time this AFD was introduced, player definitely didn't meet WP:NFOOTY; now that he has, should be a straightforward vote (I hope). 21.colinthompson (talk) 12:01, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - happy to withdraw AFD given he has now actually played to meet WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 16:23, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
