Article on young footballer who has not played at a fully professional level as required by WP:ATHLETE. Originally PROD'ed by myself on these grounds, disputed by creator who said the following: "Payne has played numerous reserve team games for Fulham; I know that he is certainly Football League standard and would be surprised not to see him playing for Gillingham next season. No, he hasn't had a proffessional game quite yet, but I am sure he is to very soon too. Also, he was part of a Premier League team. Even if it was only at reserve level, it's still the best league in the world.  As soon as his signing for Gillingham was officially announced, an IP came and added it to the page, this shows that there is interest in this player's WP article.  If there are any more concerns I would be happy to answer them. Thanks". Thus I bring it here. As an aside, it's refreshing to see a PROD being removed and an explanation actually being given as to the reasoning behind it for once......... ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:47, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:ATHLETE failure. Deprodding reason could be quoted as a classic example of WP:CRYSTAL. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  11:58, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Number 57, defiantly WP:CRYSTAL - argument by the user who disputed the prod that an IP edited the page is irrelevant, editing the page does not establish notability  Random Time  13:59, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete (I am creator) Very well, I understand if he is not notable quite yet. Just to clarifying my point about the IP, it showed that a non-Wikipedian had gone onto the page, probably to find out information about him. I have saved a copy of the page and will reinstate it as soon as he gets his first professional app., which will be soon I reckon. I am new to all this, and was just doing my bit to make WP bigger and better, but I realise I was a bit hasty. Thanks. Half Price (talk) 15:39, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Hasn't played at a fully-pro level and can't find anything to ensure that he passes Wp:GNG means no other outcome should happen than to delete the article. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  15:42, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's also nice to see someone take the effort to explain why the PROD tag was removed, rather than it just being removed without comment. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  15:48, 18 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. The prod game is lame anyhow.  This needs to be deleted through regular channels.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) ✄ ✄ ✄	 16:30, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
