The result was Keep as I was going to also vote but this seems obvious for notability and keeping, no need for continued AfD (NAC). SwisterTwister talk 18:50, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep As noted above, his one game in the Football League is enough to pass WP:NFOOTBALL. There are some other claims to notability there too, such as being the team's youngest player ever. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:33, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yes he just about passes WP:NFOOTBALL by playing 23 minutes of a game as a substitute in the fourth tier of English soccer. However, that does not trump WP:GNG.--Suarez Mason (talk) 16:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NFOOTBALL clearly states: "Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable." Football League Two is a fully professional league. Case closed. Oh, and just for the record: As of today, Stevens has played four games for Barnet per Soccerbase.
