Footballer who has not played in a fully-professional competiton (the FA Cup is open to semi-professional and amateur teams). Only appearance was against semi-pro AFC Telford United, so the player fails WP:ATHLETE. Coverage is only routine match reports etc. so also fails WP:GNG. Big Dom 17:37, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep FA Cup appearances for professional teams have been deemed notable enough to pass WP:ATHLETE. --Jimbo^[online] 18:23, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not aware of this but if it's true it makes a complete mockery of the guideline. Big Dom 13:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Generally only argued successfully where professional tema meets professional team - not where pro team meets non pro team.--ClubOranje^T 11:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:ATHLETE requires that a sportsman competes at a fully professional level - making just one solitary substitute appearance in a cup match against a semi-pro team doesn't satisfy that in my opinion, and I can't find anything that would suggest he would pass general notability guidelines at the moment.

Delete. WP:ATHLETE requires appearances at a fully professional level. The FA Cup is not fully professional (the game wasn't even against a professional team!), so appearing in that isn't good enough. I expect he will make a fully professional appearance in the future, and if so he can have an article - but not yet. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:35, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
