The result was delete. The arguments that he had never played at the highest level of his sport were very convincing. Therefore the community feels he fails WP:ATHLETE. Further, the comments indicating that his lack of professional (or notable) activities reduces his notability below the threshold of WP:N and WP:BIO were also convincing. Should additional offline citations be verified as having notability outside of his perceived athletic potential, the article could be recreated. MBisanz talk 02:45, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this has been deleted before, but with a recent confusion over a singer with the (virtually) same name was recreated. This version is better referenced and may meet notability guidelines. However, the references all confirm that he is a youth player, and he has not played in the first team, so appears to fail WP:ATHLETE as he has not yet competed at the highest pro level.
Nominating to get a clear community consensus, so we can hopefully put this to bed, one way or the other. --Ged UK (talk) 11:28, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
