The result was redirect to List of East Stirlingshire F.C. players. The consensus is that the subject is not sufficiently notable for his own page. However, there is agreement that a redirect to the newly created List of East Stirlingshire F.C. players is a good way forward. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:10, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Declined Prod. Prod reason was " Never played or managed a team in a fully professional league, therefrore WP:NFOOTY". Decline reason (by article's author) was "The article was created because of his notable links with East Stirlingshire F.C. i.e. record number of apperances and voted fans favourite player. Also to remove a redlink in the list of East Stirlingshire F.C. managers". Being voted a fan favorite does not confer notability. Does not qualify under NFOOTY, does not qualify under the general Sports Notability, does not qualify under the GNG. Hasteur (talk) 23:15, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of East Stirlingshire F.C. players, which I am more than happy to create if no-one else wants to - we could create a full list in no time, references are readily available, and such lists are common for football clubs. GiantSnowman 18:05, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect Agree redirect and creation of list would be appropriate although he isnt notable on his own as part of the clubs history he is. Warburton1368 (talk) 18:15, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested - useful for navigation. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 17:58, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
