Has never played in a fully professional league, and so fails WP:BIO. Mattythewhite (talk) 12:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page because of the same reason:

  • Delete all. There's a few more in the Harrogate Town squad without a league game and hence all fail WP:BIO. Peanut4 (talk) 13:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete all as per nom. Qwghlm (talk) 17:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

To be honest with you, it appears that you have already made up your mind, so why bother offering me the chance to defend my contrbutions, however in the vain, but unrealistic, hope that you will listen at all I will try! As the official matchday programme editor for Harrogate Town my facts are correct for the entries that I have done. However I feel that it is narrow minded of Wikipedia, and of you, to deny the people who read about Harrogate Town FC the chance to read about the players who haven't played in the top four leagues. This does not make the players less attractive to know about then maybe the Rooney's or the Owen's etc. Or are you trying to say that because Harrogate play in a lower league that people aren't and should not be interested in their players at all. I think that you will find that there are a hell of a lot of Non League fans out there who do like to know about their teams (and others) players. However it would appear that you only want to suck up to the big boys!!

While we are on the subject, the Blue Square North is goverened by the Football Association and is deemed a professional league (granted some of the teams have semi professional status but they are still a professional outfit bound by the FA rules and regulations), the F.A have jurisdiction on suspensions, transfers, embargos and liquidation of teams. Also I would imagine that full time professional teams such as Southport and Kettering Town would take a very dim view of your calling them non professional.

I feel that since an encyclopeadia's main function is to dispense knowledge then the censorship that you are obviously hell bent on protraying is a slap in the face for what you are trying to achieve in the first place.

And no I don't know how to sign this with whatever mark you want but I can ensure you that it is me, HTFC, who has written this. I am sure however that since you will take this response as hostile in tone (despite the fact that your entended censorship is an affront to an encyclopedia's main aim) then you have already made your mind to delete factually correct articles.

Just delete them, don't bother with this farce any more! I am sorry that I even bothered trying to help! HTFC —Preceding unsigned comment added by HTFC (talk • contribs) 20:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete All - sorry HTFC, while I have a great deal of time for Harrogate Town F.C., Wikipedia has policies on what does and does not merit articles. For footballers, the bar is that they should have played in a fully professional league, and the Conference North is, even you must admit, not fully professional. Perhaps the best place for these articles is on your own club's website? - fchd (talk) 22:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Just delete them! I really cannot be bothered any more! Although this is a quote taken from this very website: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. — J.Wales, Founder of Wikipedia”

The important word in the above statement is all however it would appear that you wish to go against your own founders wishes! —Preceding unsigned comment added by HTFC (talk • contribs) 22:48, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
