Previously deleted by PROD. Footballer fails notability at WP:ATHLETE having never played in a fully professional league/competition. --Jimbo^[online] 12:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete unless the Welsh Premier thing is high enough according to the "experts" it's just another speculative article which fails our policies/guidelines for notability and verifiability (both of which are required for inclusion). Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:58, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Question The article states that the subject plays for Llanelli A.F.C. which is a club in the Welsh Premier League. Is the Welsh Premier League not a fully professional league? SWik78 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I think it's a semi-pro league. As far as I'm aware, the only professional clubs in Wales are Cardiff City, Swansea City and Wrexham, all of whom play in the English league system. Bettia (rawr CRUSH!) 14:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom. "The individual in question clearly exists; nothing else matters. Kurt Weber" That has to be one of the most senseless things I have ever heard. Based on that there would be 6 Billion biographies on Wikipedia. Hubschrauber729 (talk) 04:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, and? Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 16:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - And there's no source for most of those 6 billion (actually more like 106 billion) articles. Over 99 percent of them would have no information on the person at all. Bart133 ^{t c @ How's my driving?} 01:57, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the Welsh Premier League seems to be at the highest level of amateur football. See the article on it. Kurt, your voting "Keep. The individual in question clearly exists; nothing else matters." on every AfD on a person is rather disruptive, and the closing admins probably ignore it.
