Craig McLeish[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NFOOTY as he not played in a fully-professional league, and no evidence of any significant coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Article was PRODed last year, this was removed by its creator who then added a claim to the article stating the player had played first team football for Falkirk, and was therefore notable. However, this is not backed up by the Soccerbase source used as a reference, and several months later, the editor hasn't cited any alternative source for their claim.

Delete Fails WP:NFOOTY. Only had one appearance on the bench for Falkirk according to Soccerway, never made the field. NZFC^(talk) 21:34, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As it happens I have watched McLeish, both when he was playing for my team and subsequently for opponents, in leagues where almost all teams and players are part-time. His has been a rather typical lower league journeyman career; nothing to match the WP:NFOOTY criteria. AllyD (talk) 07:13, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 07:55, 26 March 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) 09:17, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I had a look there for any reference to him having made a league debut for Falkirk, but didn't find anything. In the absence of that, he doesn't meet the criteria. Crowsus (talk) 18:42, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He seems a bit of a journeyman, but as everyone else says above he fails NFooty. Govvy (talk) 20:56, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If he played 4 times for Falkirk in the period the infobox claims then he could have played a full match in the old SPL, (ie a fully professional league) as Falkirk were in the SPL 2005-2010. However I can find evidence to suggest that he did play in an SPL match, thus I think Delete is justified as argued above. Dunarc (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
