Fails WP:GNG, and fails WP:NFOOTY - hasn't played in a fully professional league, and the one cup match he played in was in a 3rd-tier cup, and isn't enough for notability either. Has been tagged as failing GNG for 3 years now. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:46, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - this player's only claim to fame is an 18 minute cameo in a lowly cup competition. He fails WP:GNG comprehensively, which outweighs the fact he only barely/technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL. It has been four-and-a-half years since his sole appearance, he is unlikely to make any more and he will probably never get any more notable. There is also plenty of consensus that barely passing NFOOTBALL but clearly failing GNG does not make you notable, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oscar Otazu, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aleksandr Salimov, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Semenchuk, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Artyom Dubovsky, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmos Munegabe and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marios Antoniades.

• Delete per GiantSnowman. Narom (talk) 12:58, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - He has received insufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG, which outweighs the fact that he barely passes WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:48, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. In the past there seems to have been an unwritten rule where a player who appears in a cup game between two professional sides is notable, which isn't something I'm comfortable with. I've never created an article about a player who has only made an appearance in the Football League Trophy, as far as I can remember; others have created many. He fails WP:GNG and he will probably never play at a sufficiently notable level to pass WP:NFOOTBALL. Walls of Jericho (talk) 11:40, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete -- He seems never to have appeared for his first team. If he had he might be notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:14, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I agree with GiantSnowman and Walls of Jericho; fails WP:GNG. JMHamo (talk) 12:06, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - even though there is a consensus that playing in a cup-match between two teams from fully pro leagues confers notability, we shouldn't keep articles that fails WP:GNG and fades into obscurity. Mentoz86 (talk) 09:30, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
