PROD contested by article creator. This player fails WP:GNG (has not received significant coverage) and WP:NFOOTBALL (has not appeared in a fully-professional league). Giant Snowman 09:20, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - there's [1] and [2], but those are fairly local sources (not so much for the team he was playing for, but just low-circulation sources), and everything else is literally as local as he is. Some of the claims in the article need referencing, and I can't find RS to back them up. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:36, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That just looks to be WP:ROUTINE coverage and I cannot find anything substantial. Giant Snowman 13:39, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and no; not everyone covers trialists, and even those that do don't cover all trialists. It's certainly nowhere near enough for a credible GNG claim though. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 17:07, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:46, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
