The result was   keep. I echo the sentiment expressed in the closing of Articles for deletion/Eloka Asokuh; the multiple listing makes this complicated to sort out, but this one looks like all three should be kept -- RoySmith (talk) 01:09, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Has not played in a fully professional league, so fails WP:NFOOTBALL and has not received significant media coverage, so fails WP:GNG JMHamo (talk) 16:39, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following article for the same reason given above.

 * Keep Bell. Passes WP:NFOOTBALL. The article claims one (unsourced) league appearance for Rushden & Diamonds. According to Soccerbase, "David Bell" made 2 appearances for R&D in the 2001/02 season. They attribute both to David Bell (footballer born 1984). However, there were two David Bells in Rushden & Diamonds' squad for that season, David Bell, born in Kettering in 1984, and his cousin, also called David, whom they referred to as David Bell Jnr, born in Buncrana in 1985. And according to the club website Season Stats page, it was David Bell Jnr who made the league appearance. The Football League agrees. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Excellent research Struway2. I've removed Bell from this AfD. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 15:37, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Keep This is the second AFD on these players, and the Admin who closed the previous AFD took people to task for lumping together these players. It's quite clear that Bell is notable, and given that Bradley played for a dozen years, some at the highest level of Irish football, with over 250 appearances, then it's hard to imagine that he wouldn't meet WP:GNG if a thorough search was done. These aren't a bunch of 18-year olds, where little material will be found, but long-term players, where significant research is necessary to establish notability. No prejudice for listing individually. Nfitz (talk) 02:24, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
