PROD contested by article creator - who, I note, has had a number of their footballer bios deleted or draftified. This player fails WP:GNG (no significant coverage) and WP:NFOOTBALL (never played in a fully-professional league, never in the Football League - only in non-league National League which does not confer notability). Unlikely to be notable any time soon so draftifying not appropriate. Giant Snowman 12:24, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I live near his current club and I didn't recognise the name. That obviously isn't the sole criteria of notability, but we would almost certainly never have articles on people who have only played at this level in any country that has won the World Cup other than in 1966, and we simply cannot have that level of imbalance and Anglospherism in what is supposed to be a global encyclopaedia. He is notable at a low level, but so are many other people who are not notable in the Wikipedia context. RobinCarmody (talk) 23:38, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
