Player has never played in a fully-pro league, thus failing WP:Bio#Athletes Jimbo^[online] 18:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following related pages because they too fail WP:Bio#Athletes having never played in a fully professional league:

Oppose all After extensive discussion, the criteria at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Notability were set as Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure. The WP:WPF community's consensus is that it is the team, not the league,that should be fully pro, so long as the league is national. Ebbsfleet are a fully pro team in a national league.

Delete all, sorry but WP:FOOTYN is merely an essay and is superseded by WP:ATHLETE, which is instead current guideline. And, by the way, I think notability is given by the division where a player plays, not the team; footballers aren't notable just because they have a professional contract, but because they play in a well-recognized (i.e., fully professional) league. --Angelo (talk) 18:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all Playing for a fully professional club in a nationwide league should establish notability. Jogurney (talk) 01:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - WP:BIO is the current relevant policy, with WP:ATHLETE as an adjunct. As such, I believe all these players fail current standards of notability. - fchd (talk) 05:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - it has been affirmed at DRV that WP:ATHLETE is the standard. Projects have no vires to set standards that extend notability guidelines. BlueValour (talk) 02:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per WP:ATHLETE. Players have only competed in a semi-professional league. PC78 (talk) 19:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all All fail WP:Athlete. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
