Macauley Christantus

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod (by an IP with no explanation). Player fails WP:BIO as he has never played in a fully professional league. Although he has appeared on the subs bench, claiming that he will play for them is a violation of WP:CRYSTAL, as for all we know he may get injured and have to retire before ever playing. In addition, consensus seems to be that youth caps do not confer notability. The article can be easily restored by an admin as soon as he does cross the threshold. пﮟოьεԻ  5  7  16:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom; in addition, the guy is actually named "Chrisantus", not Christantus. --Angelo (talk) 16:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I know the original article with the name "Chrisantus" was deleted, but now that this article is going thru AfD, I want to point out that this player was the top scorer of 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Wouldn't he deserve an article for that?   A R  TYOM    17:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. He never played at a professional level, and playing at the under-17 level is definitely not notable itself, even if the subject happened to be topscorer in an international competition (which is something that disadvantages footballers who play in a role different than striker, by the way). --Angelo (talk) 17:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it didn't prevent Cesc Fabregas from winning the golden boot at the U-17 World Cup several years ago :-) ugen64 (talk) 03:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

This is utter racism. Chrisantus played professional football in Nigeria prior to his move to Hamburg. Furthermore, he was the highest goal scorer and winner of the Golden boot in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. If Players like Fran Merida and Bojan have pages on this website, you have no serious grounds to say Chrisantus should not. I am going to create the page all over again and woe betide the person that comes here to delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salamisa (talk • contribs) 19:25, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
