Footballer who apparently fails WP:ATHLETE. Although he started his career at Hearts, he never played in a competitive match per Soccerbase or London Hearts. He played in pre-season friendlies and was only an unused substitute in a few SPL matches. Subsequent to that he played on loan at East Fife and then Raith Rovers, who were playing in either of the two lower semi-professional divisions of the Scottish Football League. Not otherwise notable. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 06:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. It doesn't matter that he fails WP:ATHLETE because he passes WP:N with significant media coverage such as [Looks notable to me [1]. Nfitz (talk) 03:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as he easily fails the notability for sportspeople at WP:ATH, having never played in a fully-professional competition. Also fails WP:GNG, as there are no secondary sources about his playing exploits. An article on the BBC website about recovering from injury is far from meeting general notability guidelines, the BBC gives thousands of short articles about non-notable footballers. --Jimbo^[online] 17:34, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
