I appreciate the comments above, however Jhai Singh Dhillon has been a professional footballer for Stevenage F.C. and also represented Chelsea F.C. In terms of international games, he has played in two CONIFA World Football Cup, one of which he finished as a runner up with his national team Panjab football team, who he still represents. His name features in several BBC News articles relating to association football and to this day he remains a member of the Professional Footballers' Association.

Again I understand he may not be a household name, however I feel the above makes him "notable".

Is there anyway we can amend certain parts of the article, to meet your requirements? As I feel the criteria for being notable is not black and white here. Thanks in advance for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipagecreator101 (talk • contribs)

@Wikipagecreator101: - none of that is sufficient. Being part of a professional squad is not enough - players need to actually play. Giant Snowman 19:14, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-league footballer who clearly fails WP:NFOOTY, WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 00:03, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see no sources from the BBC per comments above, some sources don't work, the rest seem WP:ROUTINE. This leads me to say the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, (even known he played for Panjab national football team, this is not tier 1 international football.)

Delete. Did find this brief coverage in the Independent from 2013 (seems he hasn't come knocking down Premier League's door yet). Fails WP:GNG. Icewhiz (talk) 14:09, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
