Zele Ismail

Fails WP:ATHLETE as he hasn't made his professional debut. Having two major clubs wanting to sign you isn't enough to cement notability. (On a side note, I don't *think* this is a hoax - whilst he doesn't appear on the Wolves Academy profiles page, the rumours have been in several newspapers, according to the not-particularly-reliable-looking footballtransferleague.co.uk.)

Delete because he does not meet WP:ATHLETE. It is best to wait until/when he does turn professional to start an article. Peacock (talk) 14:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Has yet to play at the highest level, i.e. in a fully professional league, so fails the criteria for an article in the encyclopedia per WP:Athlete. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- I can find a lot of Google hits on this person but none of them seem to be coverage in reliable secondary sources. Not having made his professional debut means notability isn't established through WP:ATHLETE either. Reyk _YO! 20:46, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
