Theo Davis[edit]

This is about a footballer who has never played professionally. It was originally PRODded by myself with the rationale "Player has never played in a professional league, so fails WP:NFOOTY, not the subject of coverage in any reliable sources, so fails WP:GNG". Blackcat497 removed the PROD notification from his talk page with the edit summary Although Theo Davis hasn't made a league appearance he has been well involved in cups for league clubs & non league football playing for Gillingham Fc & @ the highest level in non league football for Aldershot Town Fc & Bromley Fc over his playing care.. (sic - that's as much as shows). Although he/she didn't remove the PROD template from the article, I'm going to interpret that as disputing the PROD. Note that the first part of the claim is untrue, as the only Football League club Davis was supposedly contracted to (apparently as a youth team player) was Gillingham and he never made a first team appearance in any league or cup for them. Part of the second claim is also untrue as Bromley had never played at the highest level of non-League football prior to this season. And playing at the highest level of non-League football is irrelevant anyway as it is not a fully professional league as required by WP:NFOOTY.

Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 08:41, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 17:22, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete top league he's played in is English Conference, which isn't fully professional. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
