The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Note about the sandbox copy. If there's a copy in a sandbox, and also the draft, that's a fork, which is unadvisable. If you want to keep working on it, it's better to ask for the deleted draft to be restored to your user space and discard your private sandbox copy. That way, the history is kept intact. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:19, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If he plays for Tottenham Hotspur, he is automatically notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:39, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a deletion discussion, not CSD, you're missing the core tenet of Wikipedia which is WP:V. So unless you can provide a source that states he's actually played in a fully pro-league, your keep is nonsense. And this super quick easy google indicates he doesn't meet the criteria of WP:NFOOTY because he's only played in junior leagues. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:46, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify likely will be notable in the near future. SportingFlyer talk 02:58, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reply @SportingFlyer: I already have a version I've worked on in my sandbox, I don't think it's necessary to draft this one. Govvy (talk) 16:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That works for me. I'm simply of the mindset players that are likely to become notable in the near future should simply be moved out of mainspace and moved back when ready. SportingFlyer talk 10:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NFOOTBALL having never played in a fully professional league or a senior international fixture and does not have enough significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. Kosack (talk) 07:14, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 12:54, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 13:51, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
