Contested prod. Deletion reason was: "Youth player (for a major team). Doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE yet. Article should only be created when he plays an official game in the first team (or in the first team of another professional club)." Contested because "Important future talent, will turn profesional and has been rumoured with many clubs, give's clubs an insight on his move and background", indicating that this indeed fails WP:ATHLETE but that the editor wants to have it as a kind of showcase for (rumloured) interested clubs. That's not the purpose of Wikipedia, of course. Fram (talk) 06:55, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG, recreate if & when he become notable. GiantSnowman 19:33, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nominator. Article fails both WP:ATHLETE on account of the lack professional play and WP:GNG due to the lack of significant coverage. Claiming that he will turn professional and is a future talent are clear violations of WP:CRYSTAL. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable player at the present time. Recreate should he ever play professionally, which is by no means guaranteed. Plenty of allegedly hyper-talented teenagers never make it to the big time -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:51, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
