[edit] Harry Donaghey
Fails WP:BIO as never having played in a fully professional league. robwingfield «T•C» 10:57, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 11:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete no Football League experience = doesn't satisfy the demands of WP:BIO. Despite past debate, current consensus is that playing in the Conference does not meet WP:BIO ChrisTheDude 11:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Didn't play for Villa, Portsmouth or even Hamilton, so doesn't pass the standard WP:BIO test for footballers. EliminatorJR Talk 13:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Played for Villa, Portsmouth and Hamilton... where is your proof he never? Jonesy702 17:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, it doesn't work like that. You need to prove he did play for one of those clubs. (Having said that, the article itself actually says that he didn't play for Pompey, and that he only played for Villa's youth team, and one of the sources says he was released by Hamilton without playing a game).

- For the record, here's the proof that "he never":
- record of all Villa first team players since WWII - no record of him
- record of all Pompey first team players since WWII - no record of him
- record of all Hamilton first team players since WWII - no record of him.
- I trust that answers your query ChrisTheDude 21:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
