 * Keep - I challenge this view, based on WP:GNG. Individual has certainly the required "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list". I will add further references to the article. TAG 09:10, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 12:54, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 13:52, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - case of WP:TOOSOON, article can be recreated if and when subject meets requirements listed above. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 03:11, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I had a look at those citations but they are really WP:ROUTINE, no where near enough to satisfy WP:GNG and he clearly fails NFOOTBALL. Govvy (talk) 21:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Aside of the Arsenal.com sources, I would argue that coverage in Sky, Independent and The Times is sufficient to fulfil GNG and I wouldn't say it was ROUTINE as not many youth players get coverage of their contract signings covered by 3rd party sources as he has here.

 * Keep - It would be absurd to delete this. If you do so it's just going to be justifiably recreated within a couple weeks after he fully meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Let's use common sense instead of pointlessly sticking to guidelines. It just causes unnecessary churn. Wicka wicka (talk) 14:26, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see the need to delete the article of someone who is very likely about to satisfy the NFOOTY requirements. Lepricavark (talk) 17:25, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
