 * These players are yet to play first-team games for Ipswich Town and are outside of the first-team squad. Therefore they fail WP:BIO. There's a weak case for keeping Upson, as he's signed a professional contract, but as he's out the squad I still think he falls under the umbrella HornetMike 01:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep for Smith, Delete the other two - Smith is an U-17 full international so I can see non-Ipswich fans being interested in him, but the other two are just a couple out of dozens of academy players for a (thankfully, as a born-and-bred Canary) non top-flight team in rapid decline. -  Irides centi   (talk to me!)  02:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. They fail WP:BIO and U-17 international is not an adult level and confers no notability. TerriersFan 03:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all The Behnam 08:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all Youth players, clearly not meeting WP:BIO requirements (BanRay 10:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC))
 * Delete all youth players who do not meet WP:BIO. No prejudice against recreation if and when any become professional first-team players. Qwghlm 11:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all as these people are unsuitable as a subject in an encyclopedia at this time. Mr. Berry 16:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all until such time as they play a match for Ipswich or any other Football League team, or at the very least get added to the recognised first team squad. As mentioned above, being an Under-17 international does not confer notability as it is not an adult level, otherwise we'd wind up with loads of articles on U-11 internationals (if such a thing exists).....

 * Why delete? The articles are not doing any harm remaining here, they are merely supplying information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.2.112.86 (talk • contribs)
