This is a biography drawn entirely from primary sources (club website and match programmes) on a minor league player. He is now retired from football and never played in the Premiership so is extremely unlikely ever to be the primary focus of any reliable independent sources. The subject requests deletion as the article is being used to publish unsourced and intensely private information, which has had to be revdeleted. Guy (Help!) 14:57, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Played over 300 games in a fully professional league, so passes WP:ATHLETE. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 17:33, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep: I don't know what was written about the subject which had to be deleted, but the player is definitely notable. Jared Preston (talk) 17:43, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - this player is so very, very clearly notable. A lazy nomination. GiantSnowman 17:47, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep I don't see a need to delete the whole article about a clearly notable football player. J Mo 101 (talk) 17:53, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and temporarily protect Deleting a valid article because of vandalism by newbies who have never made any other edits would be a desperate concession. Surprised that an admin would be willing to delete on such grounds. Kevin McE (talk) 18:20, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
