A contested WP:PROD, the article is about a 18-year old reserve player of Arsenal with no first team appearances to date, but only youth tournaments, which are definitely not enough to ensure notability. Fails WP:NSPORT and WP:ATH, and the few sources provided are coming from non-independent sources (Arsenal FC, FA website), or are just report pages, or articles who are not covering the subject in details or not enough to establish notability alone.

 * Exterminate: Another pointless article about a non-notable youth player. No professional appearances, little coverage in reliable, independent sources. End of story. Big  Dom  08:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Having never appeared for Arsenal's first team he clearly fails WP:ATHLETE, and without significant coverage he also fails WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non-notable footballer who fails Wp:ATHLETE and Wp:GNG and recreate if he does become notable. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  14:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Can I get the article userfied upon deletion?-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 19:30, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep whilst he has not played a professional league game, he has a number of references, some of which are dealing directly with him - accepting a number of the Arsenal ones don't infer notability. Appeaps to meet GNG. Eldumpo (talk) 07:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly passes WP:GNG with articles such as . ... oops, forgot to sign ... Nfitz (talk) 17:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Relisted because that last comment offers a pretty decent source and I think consensus requires some comments on it.Spartaz Humbug! 20:54, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Anonymous above. Multiple sources, including one exclusively on subject.  Article does not appear to be spam or self promotion.  Appears to meet all guidelines of WP:GNG.  I see no reason to delete it.  Throwaway85 (talk) 21:40, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I do not really think that source alone may establish notability. It does not really say anything about why the subject is notable on his own, but it is just a few sentences here and there about the lad's story into the youth system, from the guy's own perspective: please read the article, and you'll discover it is actually Frimpong himself who speaks (what the journalist did was to just wrote three lines of story at the beginning of it), thus also making the source appear from a non-independent point of view. --Angelo (talk) 21:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Nfitz. He's a young player generating buzz and clearly meets the general notability guidelines70.112.195.170 (talk) 18:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC) edit: wasn't logged in Claphands (talk) 18:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
