Keep. Player has played for at least three clubs over two full seasons in the Football League, per [1] and [2], thus comfortably passing WP:NFOOTBALL. Struway2 (talk) 10:56, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Football League Two is not a fully professional league. Night of the Big Wind _talk 11:08, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, it is, according to the list at WP:FPL. Further, the first link above shows that Mr McAllister played in Football League One as well. Struway2 (talk) 11:13, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - passes WP:NFOOTBALL; needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 11:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Easily passes WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Appears to be a WP:POINTY nomination. Mattythewhite (talk) 11:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - It's quite clear he passes WP:NFOOTBALL, Mr. McAllister has played in both Football League One & Football League Two with Exeter & League Two with Barnet & Rotherham. Don't you think if he wasn't notable it would have been noticed in the GA review. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 11:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
