Fails WP:ATHLETE since Oxford United have been in non-league since 05-06 and he hasn't had enough coverage to pass WP:N Spiderone (talk) 08:26, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. Spiderone (talk) 08:26, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:N. GiantSnowman 14:14, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think that with a little effort one could find more references for this individual than for Scott Doe. Both played for England C, both played for Conference teams. 8lgm (talk) 16:26, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. OK then but how much is needed before failing WP:ATHLETE can be ignored? Spiderone (talk) 16:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unsigned footballer who fails WP:ATHLETE. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 20:59, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep has played a significant number of games for a notable, professional Conference club. Not sure what the above reference to 'unsigned' means. Eldumpo (talk) 08:04, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. He is unattached at the time of writing and has yet to play in a professional league is what he means. Spiderone (talk) 08:34, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, but just because a player is currently unsigned it does not mean he is automatically non-notable. Eldumpo (talk) 09:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * True -- if he had previously played in the first team of a prof club. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 02:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment, and he has as Oxford have remained fully professional since their relegration from League Two. 8lgm (talk) 09:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * To meet the current guidelines of WP:ATHLETE, you need to play in a league that is 100% professional; Day hasn't yet, and therefore fails that guideline. GiantSnowman 16:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
