The last afd failed to reach consensus because during his six year spell at Cardiff City, he played a single FA Cup match. While technically meeting WP:NSPORT, there is no indication the article meets WP:GNG, so, in my opinion, it falls under the part of the WP:NSPORT lede that says: the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.

His six appearances for the Welsh youth teams are explicitly excluded as a source of notability by WP:NSPORT. The guideline also makes it clear that it only applies to those footballers who have played in actual matches. Given that in a six year career, he played only once, then left the game entirely for six years, and is now playing in the fourth tier of Welsh football (a pyramid in which even the first tier isn't fully pro), this very clearly is a borderline case. Finally, the claim that lede of WP:NSPORT is not invoked is factually inaccurate. Just looking at the afd's listed by GiantSnowman at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Takumi Ogawa makes it clear that when relevant, this part of WP:NSPORT is regularly applied.

Changing !vote to delete per IJA, I thought 'senior' and 'fully professional' were interchangeable. Deadbeef 19:39, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
