Article on a footballer who fails WP:NFOOTY for two reasons: According to sources, he signed with Bradford City today and has not appeared in any games. Also, his previous club, Matlock Town, is part of the Northern Premier League, which as far as I can tell is not a "fully professional league" according to WP:FPL. As far as WP:GNG goes I found little reliable source coverage outside of routine local coverage. Article can be recreated if/when he appears in a game for Bradford City, which as I understand is in a fully professional league. I'm not an expert on the workings of football/soccer outside the U.S., so if I have misinterpreted the criteria please let me know and I will reconsider this nomination. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 17:40, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete (probably) Standard WP:FOOTY would suggest to delete. He did score 7 goals in an FA Trophy game though, and won a golden boot for the NPL Premier, so there might be reasonable press coverage of either or both of those events. There are a couple of Derby Evening Telegraph articles (this one in particular) but most of it's match report coverage as far as I can see. Close call though - press coverage in Bradford press over the next few days might just push him to meet the GNG in this case. I'm sure he'll play in August, so worst case is that he gets recreated then. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:16, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Article was created because he signed for a big club today. He'll get a game almost certainly. Nom is technically correct, but I don't feel the need to WP:Bite new editors, I'd have seen this and left it. Szzuk (talk) 19:56, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - he has never played in a fully-professional league, failing WP:NFOOTBALL; he also fails WP:GNG, due to lack of "significant" coverage (i.e. nothing more beyond match reports/transfer news. Recreate if/when he makes his pro debut - Saying he definitely will play violates WP:CRYSTAL. GiantSnowman 12:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. He currently fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Recreate if and when he makes his debut. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:33, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. Argyle 4 Life  talk  18:36, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Week Keep The article was created because he has signed for Bradford City who are a big club and I'm almost certain he'll get an appearance for them. I know officially he isn't considered notable per football bios until he gets an appearance however he is almost certain to and I don't see the point in deleting in the article now just so we can recreate it in August when the season starts again.

 * Comment, stating that you think you're "almost certain he'll get an appearance for them" is against WP:CRYSTAL. Thousands of footballers pass through clubs signing professional contracts and never making appearances. --Jimbo[online] 16:23, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. If and when he makes his professional début, recreating a deleted article is no big deal - it's simply a matter of clicking a few buttons. &mdash;BETTIA&mdash; talk 09:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG due to a lack of significant media coverage beyond the stuff that fails WP:ROUTINE and WP:NTEMP. Recreate if and when he makes his debut for Bradford City (or any other team at a fully-professional level). --Jimbo[online] 16:28, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL because he has never played at fully-professional level; having a contract is not enough. No evidence of enough non-routine media coverage to pass WP:GNG. Recreate if and when... Struway2 (talk) 09:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per above NFOOTBALL comments and CRYSTAL, coverage is only general. - recreate if and when. -- Club Oranje T 11:40, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete routine delete, fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG and maybe a bit of WP:CRYSTAL.  Liam Taylor  15:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
