Michael Robertson (Scottish footballer)

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

Michael Robertson is a football player who has yet to play in a fully professional match (or a senior match of any description, for that matter), which means he clearly fails WP:ATHLETE. I listed the article as a proposed deletion but the notice was removed by an IP (the only edit by that address) without explanation. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 22:46, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article fails policy, I suppose. However, the subject could be the subject of newspaper reports, and probably is for that matter. Captaining the U19 squad of a premier league team passes my criteria, though only just. - Richard Cavell (talk) 23:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Partick aren't a Scottish Premier League club, for a start. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 23:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Right you are, Jmorrison. Partick is already second-tier, which pushes its junior squad down another notch. - Richard Cavell (talk) 23:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. It doesn't matter whether he's a 'great prospect for the future', youth team players aren't notable enough for Wikipedia. Bettia   (rawr!)  08:25, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
