 * Keep WP:BIO says an athlete must have competed at a fully professional level. Nowhere does it stipulate a minimum number of occasions on which he must have done so ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep So how many Premier League matches is notable? Five? Ten? The football notability guideline is pretty clear, and has to work both ways – plenty of footballers who have played one match in a pro league are kept in AfD, while well-referenced articles of footballers who have signed to a major club are often deleted citing the same guideline. --Canley (talk) 07:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment His 16 appearances for Bournemouth and 5 for Wycombe were also at a fully pro level, so he made 23 appearances at a fully pro level, easily enough to satisfy the requirement of WP:BIO ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Withdraw Nomination I didn't relise that WikiProject Football required such a low level of games played. I though it was just some ex-players vanity piece.Aiden Fisher (talk) 08:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
