The subject does not meet the notability criteria laid down in WP:BIO, i.e. he has not played in a fully professional league or competition. PeeJay 15:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I am also nomintating the following pages for the same reason:


 * Delete all - as per nomination. Youth and reserve players are not notable. - fchd 16:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Yes, none of these fulfil WP:BIO at the present time but should any at some in the future make the first-team and play in a fully professional league, do bring the article back. --Malcolmxl5 19:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it, I've saved all of the articles in TXT documents on my computer for when any of them make an appearance in the first team. - PeeJay 20:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Excellent, Peejay! --Malcolmxl5 22:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep Zieler (he was in the squad for Man Utd during the Champions League last season and given a squad number, and also he is first-choice for Germany's U-18 team, which means it is possible to find verifiable third-party sources), Wolff Eikrem (somewhat notable in Norway, for example there was an article in Aftenposten about his transfer). Delete others. ugen64 02:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Although Zieler was given a squad number last season, he has not been given one yet this year, and he hasn't made a first team appearance either. Eikrem is barely notable for the circumstances of his transfer to United, but he has done very little since, apart from playing in a pre-season friendly this year. - PeeJay 08:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Just because a player hasn't done anything notable this season (it's only been less than a month - Mark Randall does not have a squad number yet either... nor does Fran Merida...) doesn't mean he is completely not notable. It is quite possible to find verifiable sources about Zieler - for example this article at ARD's website. ugen64 01:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
