The result was delete all. @UnofficialHFCArchiver: I applaud your enthusiasm, but Wikipedia has clear rules, explained at WP:NFOOTBALL (this link does not work reliably - you may need to scroll up to find the heading "Association football"), about which footballers should have articles. Your own website is already linked from the club's article so that readers looking for more detail can find it. JohnCD (talk) 20:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A user has started creating articles for various players who play for Hereford F.C., a team playing at the ninth level of English football, way below the professional leagues. None of the nominated players have ever played professionally, and fail WP:FOOTYN and WP:GNG.
In addition to Bonella, I am also nominating:
- Harvey Rivers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

- Joel Edwards (footballer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Yes Hereford FC is a team playing at the ninth level of English football, that is a fact. It is also a fact that they current have the 7th highest attendance out of the entire non league pyramid [1] so i would argue that there is very much an appetite among the footballing community for the history of this Phoenix club to be cataloged - which was my intention.
It is also my intention to catalogue all of the players who played for Hereford United (the original club) from 1924 to 2014. This information is already on the web on a website i have created but i wanted to bring it into a wider audience and link it into what is already available through Wikipedia, and expand the information available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UnofficialHFCArchiver (talk • contribs) 20:35, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all - none of them have played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning none of them meet WP:NSPORT or WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:14, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete all - Fail WP:NFOOTY as have not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subjects have garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG.
- Delete all They have not played in a fully professional game, which is the standard for soccer. I can't believe there even is a ninth division British league. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 02:15, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
