 * Delete as not having played for a professional club or internationally for his full national side. Ref (chew) (do) 21:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Have you guys missed the discussions on talk:WPF/Gavin Hoyte, WPF:Notability and AfD:Paul Rodgers? In case you've missed it we are building on a new criteria for notability, and the old requirement of professional league football is gone, making deleting articles referring to the old criteria entirely inappropriate. As for this case, I think he is notable as being a youth international for a big nation as England, including playing in the 2007 U-17 European Championship, and being contracted to such a big club as Chelsea.

 * Comment - when it's fully built and set in stone, then it'll be applied no doubt. In the meantime, my opinion is based on what is current policy. Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 15:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Have I missed the discussions referenced by Sebisthlm? Yes, yes I have missed them. I rely on Notability (people) for guidance.  Look about halfway down, under the heading Athletes. PKT 16:15, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - still a long way from meeting notability criteria. - fchd 19:20, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Hasn't played in a pro league, doesn't have a squad number etc etc. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  13:28, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Aside from not meeting the WP:BIO guideline of not having played in a fully professional league, a good informal test, in my view, is what would we be left with if this player's career ended tomorrow. In this case, an article about a youth player, who has not made any impression on the professional scene. That's not a notable sportsperson. --Malcolmxl5 14:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice, at the moment I see nothing notable per WP:BIO standards. Punkmorten 20:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
