Paul Walker (footballer born 1992)[edit]

Delete per nom; non-notable footballer who fails WP:ATHLETE. Giant Snowman 12:36, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This footballer representing the Welsh under-17s internationally is notable enough for me. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 12:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might want to reconsider that. Under-21s maybe, but under-17 international level receives minimal coverage in the media; you maybe see the result in the paper, that's about it. He won't have received significant coverage in independent sources due to that. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete playing international youth football (including under-21) does not make a player notable, as the highest level of football they can play at is the senior side. He fails WP:ATH as he hasn't played in a fully-professional league/competition, and due to lack of secondary sources WP:N. Recreate if and when he does make his professional debut. --Jimbo^[online] 13:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete although I'm sympathetic to the Welsh U17 point. If he becomes notable then he'll play for Northampton. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:ATHLETE, and youth caps do not confer notability, especially at such a low level. --Angelo (talk) 07:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now due to failure to meet WP:ATHLETE and lack of sources establishing general notability. This article can easily be recreated if and when he makes his professional debut. Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 14:12, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable athlete. Jogurney (talk) 14:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no pro appearances and under-17 international football just isn't notable. I was at school with a lad who played under-17 international sport and even the highly parochial local paper didn't bother mentioning it....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
