Sam Walker (English footballer)

Non-notable footballer who has not yet made an appearance in the first-team. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:58, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:01, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice to recreation if and when he makes an appearance for the first team at Chelsea or elsewhere. Currently fails WP:ATHLETE. BencherliteTalk 19:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep player has recently been given a first team squad number whih suggests first xi appearence is imminent, represented his country at a youth level, he has travelled with the first xi on multiple occasions and he is expected to make an appearence for the first xi in the very near future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chelseareservesfootball (talk) 19:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * None of which means that he is "notable" in Wikipedia terms, which is all that matters for present purposes. Wikipedia doesn't guess at the future: WP:CRYSTAL. A squad number of 54, however (even if that's right, and I can't see it on the Chelsea website), suggests to me that he's hardly high in the manager's thoughts, and it'd be unusual for a 19yo keeper to play for the first team of a leading Premiership side unless there was a complete 'keeping crisis.

 * Delete, subject has not done anything of note yet. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 19:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Imminent isn't achievement. When he meets WP's standards, someone will make an article. Peridon (talk) 20:43, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 21:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails all relevant notability criteria. Argyle 4 Life  talk  02:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - at best he is Chelsea's fourth-choice goalkeeper, which suggests that a first team appearance is anything but imminent unless the other three fall under a bus or Ancelotti wakes up one morning and decides "Right, we're top of the table so I think today I'll rest my first, second and third choice goalies and play an untried kid in a Premier League match". Neither scenario seems especially likely.  Recreate as and when he makes it as a pro -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails Wp:ATHLETE and Wp:GNG. Come back when/if he becomes notable. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  09:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I too am on the verge of many notable activities. Easily re-creatable if he plays for the first XI. S.G.(GH) ping! 18:46, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - he doesn't meet the required criteria at the moment. This article can be easily recreated if and when he makes his debut at the fully professional level.  Bettia  (talk)  09:24, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails the various notability criteria, as above, along with Jack Mills (footballer) and Aziz Deen-Conteh. He hasn't played for Chelsea or any other professional side. A clear cut case. SCIAG (talk) 15:28, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
