Footballer who has never played or managed in a fully-professional league, so fails WP:NFOOTY. Was kept on a WP:GNG basis last time, but I don't see anything coverage-wise that's out of the ordinary for someone managing towards the top end of the semi-pro leagues; I could create an equally well-referenced article on the manager of the club I support in the eighth tier, but realistically a line has to be drawn somewhere.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 15:37, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Unless I am missing something his career does not meet notability standards. Dunarc (talk) 19:43, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Chester and Stockport were teams in the professional leagues, but aren't any more, so their players and managers in non-league don't get a free ticket. No sign of extraordinary achievement to pass WP:GNG. Harambe Walks (talk) 13:37, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - well put-together page, but nearly all of the sourcing is WP:ROUTINE game and transfer coverage. Fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. 21.colinthompson (talk) 14:57, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
