Sean Quinn (footballer)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Not notable. Never played a league game, so fails WP:BIO on that account. Suggest text merged into Micky Quinn and this article deleted WikiGull 21:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. WikiGull 21:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. Note that user has also created Tom Staniforth and Simon Patterson (footballer) whose articles apply to the same reasoning. HornetMike 21:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment- have also put afd tag on Staniforth. Patterson does appear to have played for Wycombe, so is fair enough. WikiGull 21:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Question: I dont know much about soccer/football hierarchy, so what kind of team was he on? I looked at the articles on the teams, but it still all looks Greek to me! Is he an amateur player? A pro player? Something in between? - grubber 16:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * He was contracted to Liverpool F.C., a professional club and generally considered one of the biggest clubs not only in England but in all of Europe, and was later contracted to Portsmouth F.C. another professional club, however in both cases he never made it beyond the youth (most likely under 19) team ChrisTheDude 16:22, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Is being on the "youth team" like being a red-shirt freshman in the US? It's prep for the day you finally do get to play with the "real" team? Or is it more like a loose association to the actual pro team, like when two cities are "Sister Cities" or when a high school has a "sister school" in another country? If he got "high" enough in the ranks, I would consider him notable. I think his early death is an interesting fact, though I want to make sure he accomplished enough before that to justify his own article. - grubber 17:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
