Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by an IP without providing a reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 10:12, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - He hasn't played in a Fully professional league and he doesn't have any senior international caps either therefore he fails WP:NFOOTBALL. IJA (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - He didn't even make the bench today, if the author doesn't want their time and effort going to waste, then they should sandbox this article and publish it at a time when he is deemed notable. IJA (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - He has played in the notable Milk Cup plus a number of Northern Ireland youth matches including a qualifier for the UEFA Under 21 Championship. He is also playing for a professional football club on loan from another professional football club. He has been on the bench twice for Colchester United and is likely to make his debut in a FA Cup in the near future. Kieran167 (talk) 19:08, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NSPORT explicitly excludes youth football as a source of notability, and there is a long standing consensus that potential future appearances do not confer notability either. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:12, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kieran167: - The Milk Cup isn't notable, youth international appearances aren't notable, nor is sitting on the bench or simply being employed by a professional club. A potential appearance in the FA Cup fails WP:Crystal. IJA (talk) 11:38, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Fails NFOOTBALL. Author should sandbox as mentioned. Szzuk (talk) 22:12, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:38, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Fails WP: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. Agree with the comments above and prior consensus that non-senior international appearances do not make a player inherently notable. Player could become notable if he plays for Colchester, but this is a case of WP:CRYSTAL. Fenix down (talk) 19:33, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
