- Okay I don't really get the whole European Soccer scene, but doesn't this guy pass WP:BIO? WilyD 16:27, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not asking about Ghits but Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activites that are themselves considered notable, including college sports in the United States. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles. Third party verification from a reliable source outside of publications by sponsors of the sport or activity should be provided to demonstrate that the subject is widely recognized as performing at the highest level.

- okay firstly the Scottish Second Division is not 'fully professional' - Brian Tucker's club, Greenock Morton, are, to the best of my knowledge, the only full-time professional club in the league. The article states that Tucker is a player playing at youth team level, i.e. he is not listed as being part of the first team squad, as shown here and here. I understand that Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate however in my opinion Greenock Morton are not of a sufficient stature to warrent articles on youth players - i.e. most first team squad players don't even have articles!

- Delete - I would say that the above might be applicable if he was in the first team, but he's not; he's in the youth side. Although Greenock Morton does have a team in the Scottish Football League Second Division, that's not the team that he's playing in. BTLizard 17:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - Does not meet WP:BIO. Morton are in the third-tier of Scottish football. This chap is not even in the first team. Catchpole 21:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- Delete I created this article on the basis that even though he (Brian Tucker) was a part of the U-18 youth sqaud this also made him third choice goalkeeper for the first team and in the event of an injury to the first 2 keepers he would have played. However we (Greenock Morton) have signed a new 3rd choice 'keeper. Therefore even though I created the article I now agree there is justification for deleting it.Jonathan Mitchell 02:05, 22 September 2006
- Delete, not notable (yet), article has no content apart from name, position and the team he plays for, anyway. Qwghlm 08:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
