Speedy template removed. 17 games in the reserves at Crystal Palace, youth team player, now a scout at Bournemouth-I don't see an assertion of notability or a degree of coverage in reliable sources that meets our general notability guideline or a degree of independent reporting that could allow us to to create a decent, well cited biography of a living person.

Delete I just don't see enough to write a biography from. --Joe Decker (talk) 00:21, 4 May 2010 (UTC) (That is, from reliable, verifiable, secondary sources.) --Joe Decker (talk) 07:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For a start his name has been spelt wrong, Danny makes a good point there are many Footballers on wikipedia who have had the same type of career. I remember Matt Gray Playing at Southampton for Crystal Palace in their first team at a young age. He was considered the new Terry Butcher but injuries etc prevented his development. You could probably write a decent movie about his life from what I gather. R Mackie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.228.39 (talk) 07:10, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete per criterion A7. There is no indication that this player meets our notability guidelines. – Pee Jay 10:36, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peejay what do you have against Danny? R Mackie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.228.39 (talk) 11:41, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think I have anything against any particular editor? My only problem is with articles that fail to meet our notability guidelines, such as this one. – Pee Jay 12:08, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
