Martin Riley (football)

This article fails WP:BIO and WP:ATHLETE. Martin Riley has never competed in a fully professional league, nor has he played a first-team game for a professional club. He is currently on a short-term contract with a club who do not play in a professional league. The article gives no reason to suggest that he may be notable in a manner that conforms to established policy. Rje (talk) 18:46, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:Athlete and the reporting is standard recording by the media of routine events. TerriersFan (talk) 19:01, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP - Martin plays for Kidderminster Harriers who are a professional full time club. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kewstu (talk • contribs) 19:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly: he has yet to play a game for the club. Secondly: WP:ATHLETE refers to the league being fully professional, which the Conference National isn't - as is stated in the intro of the article. Even if he were to play for the club he still wouldn't meet our criteria for notability. Rje (talk) 19:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
