Thomas Eisfeld

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Player fails WP:NFOOTBALL as he hasn't made his first team debut & also seems to fail WP:GNG. I don't think he has received any more media coverage then Jon Toral & Héctor Bellerín who were deleted via AfD. PROD was contested by User:Bgwhite (not the author) as he thought it passed WP:GNG. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 15:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:NFOOTBALL (as hasn't played in a fully-professional league), and also fails WP:GNG (as no coverage is "significant" - it all refers to a transfer, which is nothing more than run-of-the-mill routine coverage. GiantSnowman 15:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Delete the article now and create it again in a month or two? What's the point? Seriously, you guys are killing me with your by-the-book approach. When I saw his name in the winter transfer list, the first thing I did was look him up on Wikipedia. And I'm sure I wasn't the only one who did so. Now you're suggesting it shouldn't be here because Wikipedia has rules and regulations and policies and only concerns itself with serious stuff? Oh come on! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.120.182.18 (talk) 15:55, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The article can be restored with a couple of clicks if deleted - just bring it to the attention of WP:FOOTY. Number   5  7  23:18, 2 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Agree with 178.120.182.18 completely. Article has abundant references, and suitably asserts notability. Yutsi  Talk/  Contributions  16:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - You can't keep an article under the presumption he will make his debut in a month or two nobody knows if he will or not. Furthermore the article isn't abundant with references it has 5, 4 of which are relating to the transfer which are no more then routine. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 16:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom. The sources listed in the article are routine sports journalism which are insufficient to pass WP:GNG. Until he makes his debut for Arsenal, the article fails WP:NSPORT as well. The claim that he will make his debut is speculation in violation of WP:CRYSTAL and is never grounds for notablity. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:16, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The player only received routine coverage and has not played in a fully professional league. – Kosm  1  fent  17:24, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Sad but true, he might play for Arsenal but then again he may become just another youth footballer who never made it and because he is with Arsenal grants him no more notability than if he had joined Barnet.--Egghead06 (talk) 17:28, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and the sources included do not meet WP:GNG some are blogs and are all mostly relating to his transfer. Edinburgh   Wanderer  17:48, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I am an Arsenal fan myself but still he does not need a wikipedia article yet. Also (and I know this is not a place for football discussions) what are the chances he will play in the Premier League, Champions League or FA Cup. The most likely is FA Cup but I bet not because Wenger is very focused on the FA Cup now and also we have a lot of players back so Eisfeld will most likely not play. Also it fails many guidelines. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 20:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:NFOOTBALL - restore if he ever makes it as a first-teamer.  Number   5  7  23:18, 2 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The article is of more quality as tons of articles to more noteworthy subjects. This article does the reputation of WP no harm, many others do. There is a very strong likelihood that the subject will be "relevant" according to the guidelines rather soon. I don't see any problems here. Oalexander-En (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Makes no difference. Trust me, I tried the old dont delete this article because of this article before and it wont work. All that matters is this article and this article is not notable. I am an Arsenal fan and I dont want to do this (specially when we are winning 6-1 of Venkeys FC) but he is not notable. We have so many Arsenal Academy players who are better than him in the same position and they dont have a page. Also for we know Eisfeld could retire before his career begins due to injury, it has happened before to past youngsters. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 14:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
