Tom Donegan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Donegan made his first-team debut for Fulham in the Europa League 2nd round qualifying against a semi-pro team and made no other appearances. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL JMHamo (talk) 11:55, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. His Europa League cap does not confer notability either as it was in qualifying. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:13, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Donegan played for the Fulham first team in a "Tier 1 International Match" in the UEFA Europa League, even if it was as as an 86th minute substitute, therefore he passes WP:NFOOTY unless I have misunderstood the definition of it. Isn't the Europa League a Tier 1 league according to FIFA? It is the international competition for European football clubs after the Champions League, so I think his appearance would cause Donegan to qualify for a Wikipedia article under WP:NFOOTY Zbase4 (talk) 23:54, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Believe the Tier 1 match refers to international games and not club games. The qualifying games in Europe, especially against semi-pro teams, are just not enough to satisfy WP:NFOOTY. The fact he went on to make no further games for Fulham reinforces his lack of notability.--Egghead06 (talk) 07:31, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. The one appearance in a qualifying round of the Europa League against a team not from a FPL is not sufficient to pass NFOOTY, particularly since his career has been on a downward trend in terms of the quality of league he is playing in.

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:31, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
