Lee Butcher

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not notable - has never played a professional game. Fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:09, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

He has actually played for Grays Athletic while on loan from Tottenham but I could not upload the infobox correctly. lmcintyre1 —Preceding undated comment added 09:21, 10 August 2010 (UTC).
 * Grays, however, have never played at a fully professional level of football -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:45, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I was the one who moved it from AfC to mainspace. I considered the subject equal to other players on the team, all of whom have articles, and accepted the article on that basis. However, I just read WP:ATHLETE and see he must have played. I am new to AfC, and football is not my gig. Apologies, and concur with deletion. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * What I usually do is save the content of non-notable Orient player articles, and if the player ever plays a league game, I use the old article to form the basis of a new one. So this article may yet reappear if Butcher becomes notable. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * A good plan. Let's hope the lad makes something of himself. I will learn from this one. Many thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - He hasn't played a game in a fully professional league, so fails Wp:ATHLETE and Wp:GNG. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  22:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE as he has not played in a fully-professional match yet. Also no significant media coverage to pass WP:GNG. --Jimbo[online] 08:55, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
