• Keep, made it into the first team. Kappa 05:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, he never played and is now in a semi-professional club. When it's gone, create an article about the former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper [1]. Punkmorten 07:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Yep, as we already have an article about him, redirect per others. Punkmorten 12:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as he never played for Burnley and is now playing for a semi-pro side. An article about the former Forest keeper already exists at Mark Crossley (are they related?) so do not duplicate it! Qwghlm 09:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Mark Crossley. This guy is not worth an article but 'Mark Crossley (footballer)' is a conceivable search term for the ex-Forest keeper. Keresaspa 13:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Played for Burnley, good enough for me. Kingfisherswift 15:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - he never played for Burnley - see here. BlueValour 16:25, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Mark Crossley as per Keresaspa. I actually thought this was about the Welsh international goalkeeper and couldn't believe someone had nominated it Dodge 13:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Mark Crossley as per above Leidiot 03:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Mark Crossley as per everyone, shouldn't need any more talk... No more bongos 16:00, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - redirecting to a different person is not, by itself, a valid action because the existing edit history would be retained causing problems, particularly if an editor decided to undo the redirect when we would be mixing the edit histories for two people. What is needed is Delete and Redirect to make a fresh start. BlueValour 02:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
