Fails WP:GNG - No first-team appearances for Bray as the infobox suggests - as per the article itself, he made six appearances and scored four goals, but for the club's under-19 side, not the first team. Only other first-team appearances were for Oxford City, Wantage Town and Burnham, all non-League teams in England. No evidence of notability. Montgomery15 (talk) 23:17, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:FOOTBALL and WP:GNG. It reads like it has been written by someone close to with a lot of WP:PEACOCK language in it. Only has one reference which is now dead and can't find a lot else about him. NZFC^(talk) 04:00, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails our ridiculously low notability hurdle for footballers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:43, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. WP:TOOSOON. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:53, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- this page contains information of a professional athlete of although low profile , still relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.19.121.23 (talk) 21:08, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's worth pointing out that the IP user above has made several edits to the page of the person in question but appears to have some connection to him - be that as a friend, a family member, a former teammate, doesn't really matter. To address their comment - he is not, nor has he ever been, a professional athlete; semi-professional, yes, but as per the notability guidelines we use, he is not considered notable if he has only ever played at semi-professional level. If he ever makes an appearance in League Two, for example, he will warrant his own article; as it happens, his only first-team experience has been in the Southern League and Conference South. I hope this clears up the issue of his article being nominated for deletion. Montgomery15 (talk) 01:45, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Probably worth noting that the sole 'keep' thus far comes from the COI IP account, who after blanking this page, admitted that the subject isn't notable [1]. This is a textbook WP:SNOW. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 05:17, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No source for a BLO. Fail WP:NFOOTBALL. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 15:17, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 11:07, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
