 * Speedy keep. Did you look at the article WP:BEFORE nominating? Mr Pilkington began his career with Manchester United, played for them in the English Premier League, and has since played nearly 400 games in the Football League. Ridiculous nomination. Struway2 (talk) 10:46, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. (edit conflict) Erm, he has played in several fully professional leagues – including the Premier League – as even the most cursory glance at his statistics will reveal. I suggest that this nomination be removed quickly. —Cliftonian (talk) 10:47, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - clearly notable, has been a professional sportsman for 20+ years. GiantSnowman 11:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - come on this is an easy one! I made a stats table, you see he has played in the following fully professional leagues: Premier League, First Division, Second Division, Third Division and League Two. Also has about 40 references; that would hint at notability.--EchetusXe 11:24, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Easily passes WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL.  Appears to be a WP:POINTY nomination.  Mattythewhite (talk) 11:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
