The result was delete. I have to admire the honesty of the one "keep" !voter for saying "yea it's not notable but keep it anyway per IAR". If somebody were to make a good logical argument for keeping an article that otherwise failed the relevant guideline(s) and it received some support then it should be given some weight but not for a BLP, sorry.

Contested PROD. This player is non-notable because he has never appeared in a fully-professional league (therefore failing WP:NFOOTBALL), and has not received "significant coverage", therefore failing WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 14:15, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:IAR. While this person may have not appeared in a fully-professional league, I learnt something today. I don't want to write up some massive speech but that's the goal of Wikipedia. I remember Jimmy Wales saying something along the line of "Imagine a place where the sum of the world's knowledge was all together" (I'm sure those aren't the exact words but..). Anyways; IMO we should keep this article. --Addi hockey 10^e-mail 16:12, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So if I was to write an interesting but completely trivial article - A day in the life of GiantSnowman's belly button fluff, for example - it would be beneficial to keep it? Giant Snowman 16:16, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He's quite clearly not-notable. The Canadian Soccer League is not fully pro, and he has not received sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:27, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails WP:NSPORTS (league is not fully professional), no reliable sourcing adducible from Google News/Books, WP:IAR claim not supported by any substantive reasoning (let alone factual substantiation). Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 06:05, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
