Roy Naylor

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Naylor is a football player who only played in one Scottish Football League match. This was between Clydebank and Stranraer in December 1998. (see and ) The match was in the First Division, which is mostly professional, but Stranraer are a semi-professional club who have sometimes been promoted to First Division level. I contend therefore that Naylor doesn't pass WP:ATHLETE because he didn't play in a match between two fully professional teams, and there are insufficient sources and references for him to pass WP:BIO.

 * Comment. In addition to the above, I think Clydebank were a semi-professional club by that point, as they were sharing Boghead Park with Dumbarton. Clydebank went out of business within four years, although I would need to check re their status at that point. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 22:44, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Neil Brown's site has him listed as Roy Naker, but it confirms he played a game. Was the Scottish First Division fully-pro in 1998-1999 - if so he is notable. GiantSnowman 12:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That's what I'm saying, the division wasn't fully professional in that season because Stranraer for sure (and possibly Clydebank) wouldn't have had players on full-time contracts. It's only a fairly recent development (since about 2000) that all (or all but one) of the teams in the First Division have been full-time. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case:


 * Delete as he has never played in a fully-professional league or competition, and therefore fails WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 17:31, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
