Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he had been named Young Player of the Year runner up. Since he has not received significant coverage for it, this has no bearing on notability.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 14:17, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - has represented a Scottish Third Division side (Elgin City), that isn't enough to satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL but it's a national league, so in my eyes it probably should do. Won't deny that the article needs a re-write and the infobox bringing in-line with the standard Football table style. Probably needs at least one proper source (ie, somewhere that isn't Soccerbase, or a club's website) to really be worth keeping though Lukeno94 (talk) 20:55, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There are thousands of national leagues all over the world; what makes you think that players in any such league are notable? Meeting NFOOTY means that there should be enough suitable sources about the player in order to satisfy the GNG, something which you failed to show. Cheers. – Kosm1 fent 05:57, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – didn't appear in a fully pro league and no indication of significant coverage in independent reliable sources, fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. – Kosm1 fent 05:57, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Fails WP:GNG as he hasn't received significant media coverage nor has he played in a fully professional the (Highland League & Scottish Third Division) aren't fully pro, so also fails WP:NFOOTY. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 18:23, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - article is about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that the article fails WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 10:13, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
