[edit] Darren Acton

Darren Acton (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

uncontested prod, but from the articles on his teams, I can't tell whether they are fully professional or what, some folks with knowledge of English football/soccer should weigh in. Carlossuarez46 01:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete I ran a google search of Darren Acton and was scarce to find any articles relating directly to this Darren. With a lack of references to support his notability and press coverage, I would suggest a deletion of this article. Ozgod 02:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The fully professional leagues in English football are the Premiership, Championship, League One and League Two. The Conference National is not considered a fully professional league since it allows semi-professional teams to enter. Darren Acton has never played at a level higher than Conference National and has therefore never played in a fully professional league, which is why the article should be deleted. See here for more info on notability of footballers. Simon KHFC 02:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - the Football League also allows semi-professional or even amateur teams to enter, just that there haven't been any for half a century or more. fchd 07:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
