This is a player in a youth soccer league team. The team may or may not be notable, but this young gentleman definitely isn't (see WP:BIO). nadav (talk) 07:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete until such time as he becomes a first team squad member at a professional club, which I would imagine is at least 3 or 4 years away..... ChrisTheDude 08:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Dave101→talk  08:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - he is only 15, for crying out loud. No prejudice against restoring if/when he makes it as a professional. Qwghlm 09:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, this player does not meet biography guidelines and he is just a member of a youth club. We shall see how things goes and review his notability in a few years time. Terence 12:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not just a youth player but a youth player in Australia which is hardly a footballing hotbed — iridescenti (talk to me!) 16:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

• Strong delete per all comments above --Angelo 23:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Google News and Google News Archives has nothing on him. No indication that he is especially notable even at a youth level. Doesn't appear to have made a NSW or Australian youth squad for example. Capitalistroadster 03:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 03:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Can I get you folks's opinion on the team he plays for (Ryde City Gunners Football Club)? Is it notable? Both pages were created by the same user Rydecitygunners, and I find it odd that this player and the team's chairman both have the same surname. So there may be some COI issues here too. nadav (talk) 03:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete and tagged as such per CSD A7. The boy is fifteen and the article makes no claim of notability. As far as the team is concerned, its notability is marginal but I personally would keep it. -- Mattinbgn/ ^talk 03:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
