 * Should Not Delete - I would say that we shouldn't delete the Ruben Loftus-Cheek page because of his involvement in the England U16 and England U17 proves his significant to the football world. Longojahado —Preceding undated comment added 23:20, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete or userfy - Classic case of WP:TOOSOON. Quoting the article, "Ruben joined Chelsea's academy at Under-8 and has been with the club his entire career." Clearly falls short of WP:NFOOTBALL as of right now. If the nominator and creator agree that there is reason that this subject may become notable in the near future, userfication might be a better alternative than "saving what you've got". Although the article as it stands includes some puffery. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 01:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. He is yet to make his debut for Chelsea's first team and WP:NSPORT explicitly excludes youth football as a source of notability, meaning the article fails that guideline pretty clearly. The coverage he has received does not amount to significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:GNG as well. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Walls of Jericho (talk) 21:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Way too soon and as an Englishman with Chelsea who knows when he will get his chance?--Egghead06 (talk) 05:40, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Userfy There is a 50-50 chance of him being a success at Chelsea, so I suggest this article be moved to his userspace where it can be further developed, and when the time is right, moved to the main article space. —Avenue X at Cicero (t · c) sends his regards @ 15:57, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:NFOOTBALL not having played in a fully pro league. Fails WP:GNG, the only remotely significant coverage is a dubious tabloidish claim that he was linked to a major Spanish club. Hack (talk) 16:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
