Contested WP:PROD. Obvious failure of WP:ATHLETE per lack of professional appearances. Also, the article states he is currently playing with Inter Primavera (which is the under-19 team, in case you don't know), however he is not listed in the team squad and, quite unusually for a player accordingly signed to a team, his name is not cited anywhere in the club website (a Google search returns no hits). About his reality show appearance, I personally disagree about the fact this makes him notable, per WP:ONEEVENT. For sure, he is not notable for his football career.

Delete - per nom. As stated above, he clearly fails WP:ATHLETE. The reality show certainly merits inclusion in the article, but doesn't make the subject notable in any was. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:58, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it shouldn't be deleted, as he's still got a professional contract. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.250.191 (talk) 10:50, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Football's Next Star until such time as he actually achieves something in the game -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:09, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 16:13, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I agree with ChrisTheDude. No doubt he will make a professional appearance so theres no need to delete it for the moment, just redirect until such a time comes. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 21:06, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- .........or he could turn out to be the next Sonny Pike -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:50, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Week Delete: This one might be close because of the coverage the reality show got. But none of the articles I see about the reality show particullary focus on him enough for him to qualify under WP:BIO. Like otherwise mentioned he obviously does not qualify under WP:ATHLETE.MATThematical (talk) 23:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above - currently fails ATHLETE and a bit WP:NTEMP / WP:BIO1E but a redirect will at least cover any interest from the oneevent scenario.--ClubOranje^T 09:36, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Football's Next Star unless he meets ATHLETE at a future date. -- Big Dom 10:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
