Contested speedy. Footballer who is yet to play a game in a fully professional league, thus failing the established consensus on notability for footballers. Nuttah (talk) 09:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep Premiership footballer, made BBC News etc.--EchetusXe (talk) 14:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep (probably speedy) per EchetusXe. Premiere League football player. --Oakshade (talk) 03:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. He's not a Premier League footballer yet. Currently he is a player just out of the academy who has not played a game in a fully professional league (WP:ATHLETE) or even for the Conference North team he has been sent out on loan to. He may one day make the grade (but that is crystal balling), but just as likely he could be one of the 50% who never play a game in a fully professional league.

- Delete Long-standing consensus is that footballers are not notable until they have made a first team appearance in a notable competition. Just being on the books of Stoke is insufficient. --Dweller (talk) 13:03, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
