Played a few games of football, doesn't pass WP:GNG. --SuperJew (talk) 13:37, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Passes WP:NFOOTY, the sources in the article would also suggest significant coverage in non-routine sources that would go some way to satisfying GNG. Fenix down (talk) 14:20, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL by some way. GiantSnowman 16:55, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per Fenix down and GiantSnowman. Inter&anthro (talk) 23:44, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - in it's current state should at the minimum be userfied. The 2 sentences in the mainspace don't contribute anything. --SuperJew (talk) 06:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not a relevant argument per WP:NEGLECT, a subject is notable or not regardless of the length of article. We wouldn't keep a non-notable article simply because it was lengthy. Fenix down (talk) 08:40, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep passes WP:NFOOTY. Number 57 09:08, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep All you need to pass WP:NFOOTBALL is make one appearance in a fully-professional league, not four, five or whatever some people seem to think it should mean. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:21, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:NFOOTBALL is only a guideline, not the end all rule. --SuperJew (talk) 07:06, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • As is WP:GNG, which you cite in the rationale for deletion. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:26, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes WP:NFOOTY. The current state of the article is irrelevant. AFD is not cleanup. If it's notable, it should be kept. Smartyllama (talk) 14:46, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes WP:NFOOTY. Subject is notable. Antonioatrylia (talk) 02:06, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
