Gaël Kakuta

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:FOOTYN as he has never played a professional game for either Chelsea or Lens. No other references to assert notability. Eastlygod (talk) 20:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. Eastlygod (talk) 20:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom as failing WP:ATHLETE; recreate when/if he makes an appearance in a fully-pro league and therefore becomes notable. GiantSnowman 20:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete what East said, and recreate if needed. Govvy (talk) 21:20, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete We do get a lot of these. Not notable till he's played even a fraction of a second of a notable match. A footballer who hasn't yet played football? Not notable. --Dweller (talk) 12:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per Articles for deletion/Gael Kakuta - he still hasn't played for the club. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  16:12, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

 * He has been called up to the squad of Chelsea F.C. The best in Europe according to UEFA co-efficients. I would consider this to be more than enough to meet notability requirements.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dylan1312 (talk • contribs) 02:30, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * When he has actually played for them he is notable. Just being called up to the squad means nothing, irrespective of what club it's at.  He could be sent back to the youth team next week and never get near the first team again -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * PS delete per everyone above -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * "The best in Europe according to UEFA co-efficients" - Even if that is true, the policy is the same for everywhere else, from the smallest club that passes WP:N to the biggest club in the world. DeMoN  2009  11:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Déjà vu delete Nothing has changed since last time. Fails criteria, not appeared as pro in pro league, only youth int, not enough coverage. Why was this not stopped at recreation?-- Club Oranje Talk 06:40, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not played for the Chelsea first team. DeMoN  2009  11:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails the criteria at the moment, if, as would seem likely, this changes then the article may be recreated. Rje (talk) 18:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
