Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Jai Reason (2nd nomination)

Could I have the deleted content of the page to put into a draft so an article can be created in future when the player in question makes an inevitable football league appearance?Subtlemammoth (talk) 16:50, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's appropriate given that his club currently don't play in the football league and it will therefore be at least a year until he could meet NFOOTY. Fenix down (talk) 22:09, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

But what is the harm of preserving the content of a page and developing it before then? Subtlemammoth (talk) 00:29, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Because he is nowhere near playing to a standard which would satisfy NFOOTY and has not received antything like the coverage necessary for GNG. The draft space is not intended as a userspace to create articles on players who might at some point in the future be notable. It is to draft articles on already notable subject, or at worst subjects that are essentially guaranteed to become notable in the very near future. The earliets this player could realistically be moved out of the draft space would be in a year's time. That's far too long to be hanging around as a draft.

Hardly nowhere near to the playing standard, is out on the technicality of the conference premier not being classed as fully professional and a key player on a team full of ex football league players. Am I right in assuming you think that as i'm not experienced in years of wikipedia bureaucracy that I will just go on and recreate the article right away?Subtlemammoth (talk) 22:53, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You can move it to you user space, or create a WP:SANDBOX. Ask the deleting admin on their talkpage to move the deleted version to User:Subtlemammoth/Sandbox for you, and you can edit and update it there and move to realspace if he ever does become notable.
