Gareth Evans (Welsh footballer born 1987)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Never played in a fully professional league. Conference north is semi-professional. noq (talk) 11:50, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

There are plenty of players with pages on Wikipedia who have never played in professional leagues. If Gareth Evans made the jump up into a professional league, or Colwyn Bay F.C. were once to get promoted to a professional league whilst Gareth Evans was playing for them, it would make it much easier to edit / create his Wikipedia page! The sole purpose of the page is to help the 2011-12 Colwyn Bay F.C. season page and the Colwyn Bay F.C. page look more complete and official, as well as giving information.

 * It still fails the notability guidelines. If Colwyn Bay was promoted to a professional league and he still played for them, he would qualify but it does not need a placeholder page just in case.  And WP:Other stuff exists is not a good argument. noq (talk) 12:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Plus, I don't believe there are "plenty of players with pages on Wikipedia who have never played in professional leagues". If there are, they should be deleted too -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:14, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:11, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Has not received significant media cover and therefore fails WP:GNG, also fails WP:FOOTBALL as the Conference North & Cymru Alliance aren't fully professional. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 19:14, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
