Mitchell Nelson

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested PROD fro IP user, reason being;"Mitchell Nelson is a professional footballer as he is under a professional contract at AFC Bournemouth hence he is professional". However, he fails WP:NFOOTY as he has not actually played at a fully-professional level yet. Also fails WP:GNG due to a lack of any significant media coverage. --Jimbo[online] 16:39, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

he has played professionally for Lincoln City. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.231.28 (talk) 18:40, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * .....however, Lincoln do not play in a fully professional league, as required by WP:NFOOTY. They play in the Conference National, which has somewhere in the region of half a dozen semi-pro teams in it..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:33, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - he may be a professional, but his league is not, and consequently he fails WP:NFOOTBALL, as well as WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 09:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Nelson has just returned to Dean Court (AFC Bournemouth). They play in a fully professional league! - http://www.bournemouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=264792 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.231.28 (talk) 18:01, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * .......and as and when he plays for them, he will then be eligible for an article. As it stands, though, he has still not played in a fully professional league -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom. He fails WP:GNG and has not played in a fully pro league, fails WP:NSPORT as well. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:44, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
