AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Using Google, I found nothing regarding first-team football appearances; therefore, the player fails WP:ATHLETE. – LATICS   talk  01:30, 9 August 2008 (UTC) *Delete Made no senior appearances for SC Heerenveen and has made none for Ipswich Town F.C., per. A probable CSD G4 as the reason for deletion at the previous AfD, i.e. has not played in a fully professional league per WP:Athlete, has not been addressed. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Possibly falls under WP:CSD, depending on whether or not he has made first-team appearances. – LATICS   talk  01:31, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Switching to Keep as he now meets WP:Athlete. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:57, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Hang On. Before anyone speedies this - Ipswich starts it's season in under 6 hours against Preston. Let's see who's on the first team. Nfitz (talk) 08:17, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And he is indeed in the team today, which should be enough for WP:ATHLETE. Gr1st (talk) 13:44, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, article asserts no real notability. J I P  | Talk 12:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep has now played for Ipswich Town, therefor notable. Jcuk (talk) 14:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. He started as well. I just can't understand the WP:POINT of trying to delete the articles of players of first team players hours before game time. Is there any material that should be restored from the version that was unnecessarily deleted on June 17, 2008? Nfitz (talk) 14:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - was a little pointy to nominate so close to the beginning of the season. Meets with first team appearance. matt91486 (talk) 15:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - perhaps the closing Admin can restore any useful material from the old article deleted June 17th. Nfitz (talk) 16:19, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
