James Carroll (Football/Soccer Player)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completely non-notable 15-year-old. Plays in the "4th tier of the Victorian Football Structure", which is definitely not professional, so does not meet the sports notability guideline and has no significant coverage in reliable sources, so doesn't meet general notability guideline. Perhaps the kid will be notable one day, but he definitely isn't today. Jenks24 (talk) 02:34, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. I'd go so far as to say this is an A7 candidate: no credible claim of significance or importance. --Mkativerata (talk) 02:38, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmmm, you may be correct. I thought it was a borderline case so decided to bring it to AfD, but if you or another admin want to delete per A7 (or tag the page as A7 for another admin to review), I certainly wouldn't oppose it. Jenks24 (talk) 02:45, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, doesn't bother me either way. There's no harm in letting this run seven days and it's usually best to avoid A7s if there's any doubt. --Mkativerata (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete premature article on youth footballer who is still a long way from notability at this stage. fails NFOOTBALL, no GNG coverage.--ClubOranje^T 11:39, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This kid is 15, and he doesn't even play at a national level of football. In fact, he plays at the FOURTH TIER of an Australian state league. – Pee Jay 22:40, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
