Biography of person of local interest; without supporting citations to establish notability recommend that a very brief item (line item) be added to Everton F.C. indicating the existence of the post this person holds and the person currently holding it. Article found tagged with Speedy via criterion G11 (I do not agree with that criterion) and with a 'hold-on' template in place from the author. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment by nominator - since AfD creation, a supporting link has been added, this to a staff listing on the Everton F.C. website. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: Person is well known all over the North West of England, but more so in academy football specifically in the UK as well as Europe. Also gaining more attention thanks to the emergence of players noted in article. A senior member of Everton FC academy. Equivalents at other football clubs have pages, most of whom are less known.

  • Delete. "Well known" != "notable", necessarily. Well known by whom? I mean, please. "Head of Local Schoolboy Recruitment for Everton F.C." is the sole claim of notability. Well, everyone has some job; does this guy's job really put him into an ecyclopedia with Newton, Columbus, et. al.? (I know, we have much less notable bios than Newton and Columbus, but still, there's got to be a limit somewhere.) In fact, I think I'll vote Delete again, that's two votes.
