Adam Wilson (footballer)[edit]

Delete- WP:ATHLETE is fake. Someone keeps playing jokes and entering sensitive information, including name, date of birth and birthplace of a friend of mine. He is upset about this. This "player" doesn't exist so I have had no choice but to replace the sensitive information with fake information until this article is deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.231.178.98 (talk) 03:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:ATHLETE as player signed for a club in a professional league (Huddersfield Town), but never 'competed' for them, so is non-notable. - RD ^(Talk) 21:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- WP:ATHLETE is currently in the process of being made less crappy, so it's not a good idea to invoke it right now. However, this article has no sources and is about a sportsperson who doesn't come anywhere near meeting the more general requirements of WP:BIO. Reyk _YO! 21:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but I didn't think anything was going to change within WP:ATHLETE to allow those who don't play for major clubs to be listed as notable, so I thought it was still applicable. - RD ^(Talk) 21:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - we have a well established standard for footballers and that is that they must have played for a club in a fully professional league. In this case, though he was in the Huddersfield Town squad, he didn't make it onto the pitch. Consequently he well fails the accepted threshold.

Delete - never played professionally, and now only playing in the third-highest level of non-professional play, so any changes/clarifications to WP:ATHLETE would not help his case anyway...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:58, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
