Footballer who fails WP:NSPORT as the League of Ireland isn't fully professional. Also appears to fail WP:GNG, as the only independent coverage is minimal. PROD contested on the grounds that other similar articles exist. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:20, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 14:21, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Save - This old chestnut again. Are you going to try and delete almost 1400 LOI players? Some clubs are professional while the majority are semi professional. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.140.206 (talk) 14:42, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Most of the other 1400 played in a fully professional league (as detailed by WP:FPL), making them notable for that reason. The ones that didn't either meet the general notability guideline, which this guy doesn't, or should also be deleted. Having articles on lots of non-notable players isn't a good reason to have this one as well. Alzarian16 (talk) 16:37, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Save - You have contradicted yourself there as detailed by WP:FPL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.140.206 (talk) 14:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
