Keep passes WP:FOOTY and made his debut in a WP:FPL and is currently playing in a lower division after his team's relegation .SNGs including WP:FOOTY exist to provide for the inclusion of certain defined subjects that cannot immediately be shown to pass GNG. An SNG provides for a presumption of notability, not a presumption of non-notability An SNG cannot be used to exclude/delete an article when the subject passes GNG, but the reverse is patently absurd because that would negate the entire reason for the existence of SNGs particularly for a player currently playing and only 20 years old.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 12:20, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:NSOCCER/WP:NFOOTY (depending on your location). There is no deadline, leave the stub and hopefully it gets expanded. --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 17:24, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
