Jason Mellor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed by, who left this rationale on the TP: "Mellor has played in the FA Cup five times, is the FA Cup not considered as professional?". This is not the case; the FA Cup is not a professional competition as many semi-professional teams participate. More importantly, Mellor has never played in the competition for a team competing in a fully professional league. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as the subject has not appeared in a fully pro league and fails WP:GNG as it has not been demonstrated that there is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

 * Delete - most importantly he fails WP:GNG, but he also fails WP:NFOOTBALL as he not played in a fully-professional league or in an associated Cup competition. GiantSnowman 17:45, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. He has not received significant coverage or played in a fully pro league, meaning this article fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - The first voter mentions the subject fails GNG and NFOOTBALL and of course that is the overriding rationale for everyone. Subject fails WP:GNG as he has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Cloudz 679 22:08, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - article is about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that the article fails WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG due as there isn't significant coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 15:59, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
