Football player who has not played at a fully professional level, therefore doesn't meet WP:N or WP:ATHLETE guidelines. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:15, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm unable to find significant coverage for this athlete. - DustFormsWords (talk) 10:51, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If he has played for Mohawk Valley United (and I can't actually find any verification that he has), he's only played in exhibition matches as this is all the club has played - therefore he fails WP:ATHLETE. A quick Google search provides very little to suggest he would pass general notability guidelines. Bettia (talk) 11:18, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He clearly fails both WP:GNG and WP:ATHLETE. The fact that the club he's supposed to have played for is a red link should have been a pretty clear sign to the original author that he's non-notable, but that's beside the point. It looks to me like a clear cut case of someone trying to save a pet article even though it covers a non-notable subject. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:13, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- As the article was created by the only ever edit made by a user called "Bls82289", I think we can safely assume that he wasn't thinking in terms of whether or not the subject was notable when he created it...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:17, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I had PRODed this article and it was removed with no explanation. As far as I'm concerned, there is still no evidence that the person is notable. Jogurney (talk) 15:04, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
