Article was PRODded with the rationale "This subject does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTY. He has never played in a competitive match for a fully professional club or for a senior national team.". PROD was removed by an IP without any attempt at an explanation. The PROD rationale remains valid. ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:58, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The delition PROD was removed for a valid reason, and the explanation can be found on the entries talk page. The player meets GNG as he is being widely reported in the press to be one of the best players of his age in the world, and to be making his professional debut in a matter of days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.194.169.154 (talk) 23:03, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Draft Not far off from GNG in my opinion, but currently fails WP:NFOOTY. Govvy (talk) 15:06, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NFOOTY. If someone is famous for being a footballer but hasn't actually ever played a professional game, there needs to be some exceptional reason why they should have an article (e.g. Sonny Pike); this isn't the case here. Number 5 7 22:46, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I posted the original PROD on this article, and my reasoning has not changed. – Pee Jay 18:12, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
