Keep St. Mirren is in the Scottish Premier League and as such he fulfills WP:NFOOTY. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 14:14, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- He's never played for St Mirren, though, therefore he doesn't fulfill WP:NFOOTY -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:21, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, I see. So being on the team is not sufficient? FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 14:41, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, as the policy you link to states, "A player who signs for a domestic team but has not played in any games is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable." -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:00, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Then it should be deleted. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:10, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails all relevant guidelines -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:21, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league, or received significant coverage in reliable sources, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:33, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I've seen him play, but at the moment he fails WP:NFOOTY. Obviously no prejudice to re-creation if he breaks into the St Mirren 1st team or elsewhere. AllyD (talk) 18:31, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 19:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
