[edit] Darren Behcet

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

A player in a third-tier football league, no independent sources. The only source is a directory of player stats and does not cover the (scant) biographical detail found here. Guy (Help!) 10:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment: 1,360 Google hits does not demonstrate anything much - even I get more ghits than that. Guy (Help!) 11:55, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Comment: bbc, wtfc, and abcgoal are suffcient notability.--Avinesh Jose (talk) 05:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete appears to fail WP:BIO as never having played in a fully professional league. Davewild (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Being "a player in a third-tier football league" would quite easily meet the requirements of WP:BIO (Football League One is a fully professional league) however he has never actually played a match for Yeovil's first team, therefore he does meet the requirement Delete ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - combination of regular first-team involvement and U21 international caps is just enough, I think. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 22:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Comment- There is no mention of him on the Turkey U21 page and i can't find any sources to say he has played for them. Eddie6705 (talk) 22:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: without prejudice if a better article can be produced. Soxthecat (talk) 20:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete His only senior appearances have been at non-league level. Oldelpaso (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Never played professional football. Jonesy702 (talk) 18:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete until such time as he makes an appearance for a team in a fully professional league. Robotforaday (talk) 22:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep on the basis that there is fair claim that he made 7 appearances on loan to the first team of a fully-professional club, Cambridge United F.C. (which club has remained professional despite relegation to the Conference National in 2005) - Soccerbase says this. Ref (chew)(do) 20:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - though he plays for a professional club it is not one in a fully professional league and hence fails WP:BIO. Dancarney (talk) 12:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO. --Angelo (talk) 14:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
