Recreation of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was that the subject Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY having never played in a fully professional league or in a senior international fixture. This remains valid. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:58, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - still fails WP:NFOOTBALL having never played in a fully professional league or a senior international fixture and does not have enough significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. Kosack (talk) 04:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I appreciate you have to boundaries for things but can we look at it from the point of view of a Preston fan; They have just signed a goalkeeper from a fellow Championship club and deserve to be able to read about him on Wikipedia, is that not what this website is for? He’s been named in full welsh squads, it’s not like he’s a jobbing semi-pro no mark. User: Hildreth gazzard talk 08.56, 10 June 2018 UTC
Delete - as per nom and Kosack, still fails GNG and NFOOTBALL 21.colinthompson (talk) 17:55, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just found this https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44383006 . There are lot other recent media coverages relating to this. Farahpoems (talk) 18:35, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Transfer announcements are considered routine sport coverage and do not contribute to general notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:53, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Draft I have no problems with a draft of the player, but at the moment he fails WP:NFOOTBALL having not played a professional game. Govvy (talk) 21:33, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 11:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While I can understand the arguments put here for keep, at the moment it is clear that he fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Of course if he plays for Preston in a league match or gets a full cap with Wales this will change. As either of these seems possible within the next year or so so keeping as a draft article as suggested would seem a viable option. Dunarc (talk) 22:24, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
