Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage in reliable sources, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 04:38, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy - under AFCShandong's space if editor agrees to it. While the Dutch Eerste Divisie is fully professional he has not played for his team in that division. If the player suits-up for the side, the page can be moved back. It would be a show of good faith to the editor. If the user doesn't accept, the page must be deleted.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Userfying (then restoring) or deleting (then restoring) makes little difference. Giant Snowman 08:27, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the article is about a footballer who hasn't received enough coverage to pass the general notability guideline, and he hasn't appeared for any team that would make him notable per WP:NFOOTY. A request to userfy this article should be accepted, but either way it could be recreated when the subject passes one of the notability guidelines above.

Userfy - Yes it is true he has not made his professional debut yet. He was on the bench for Jong Ajax in the match against Excelsior on 6 October 2013, and it will not be long before he makes his debut (maybe this weekend) he has seen coverage in the Netherlands, when him and Wei Shihao came to Amsterdam after receiving high praise from Ajax scout Henk ten Cate. And he played in the Copa Amsterdam for the Ajax A1 squad. Although I agree that the user jumped the gun by creating this profile, since I think he should at least wait until after his professional debut. It is only a matter of days before it happens, and by userfying it, the user can resubmit it when the time comes. (Subzzee (talk) 05:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC))[reply]
