Comment, from the lead of A-League - "The A-League is a professional men's soccer league run by Football Federation Australia (FFA). At the top of the Australian league system, it is the country's primary competition for the sport.". Coolabahapple (talk) 01:09, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, fails notability criteria. Yintan 13:03, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, so to clarify, although Timotheou has been signed by A-League team Sydney FC for two years, see here, as he hasn't actually played any games with them yet, it is a case of WP:TOOSOON? Coolabahapple (talk) 13:22, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Coolabahapple: That's right. WP:NFOOTBALL requires a footballer to have played in match in a fully pro league or for a senior national team. If and when Timotheou makes his debut, he will meet the guideline, but he doesn't right now. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:49, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:49, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (thanks Sir Sputnik for the clarification), doesnt meet WP:NFOOTY, a gsearch doesnt yield enough appropriate sources to meet WP:GNG. Coolabahapple (talk) 16:03, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 17:48, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
