Jermaine Hylton

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Has yet to play in a fully professional league per WP:NFOOTBALL. Prod was removed because, "Deletion proposal has been removed as individual in question has played pro youth football and been involved in a pro dev. game. They are awaiting an offer from one pro team and more potentially." Bgwhite (talk) 01:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom. WP:NSPORT explicitly excludes youth football as a source notability. Given that he has not played in a fully pro league the article fails that guideline, and there is insufficient coverage for the article to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Signed for Swindon Town See citation included on his page  Nelly GTFC (talk) 12:30, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hasn't actually played for them, though....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:33, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 13:40, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. A case of WP:TOOSOON at best. Fenix down (talk) 16:50, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Has now played in an FPL match and so meets NFOOTY. Fenix down (talk) 09:27, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete, fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, as he hasn't appeared under a fully professional club. -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 19:46, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Too soon. But if he plays for Swindon on Saturday, don't delete :-) Don't know what the editor removing the prod was on about, though. Not sure what "pro youth football" is, and the "pro dev." game was a behind-closed-doors training game that happened during the week he was on trial with Birmingham. Hopefully once Mr Hylton does play for Swindon and we can write about what he's done, we can leave out all the promotional hype. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:43, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep now he has. But the rest still applies. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:13, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Swindon play tomorrow night, the Beeb say he "is set to be named in the squad" but that doesn't necessarily mean anything of course -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:56, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Played tonight v Coventry. .--Egghead06 (talk) 21:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added and referenced his Football League appearance. An editor with better knowledge of his early career might like to edit the journalese. (How do you climb through a pyramid?).--Egghead06 (talk) 07:31, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – While this AfD was open, Hylton appeared as a sub for Swindon Town F.C., thus meeting WP:NFOOTY. This article definitely needs improvement, but that will come as Hylton's career progresses. — Jkudlick t c s 07:46, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes WP:NFOOTBALL as he has played in a fully professional league. IJA (talk) 12:38, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
