[edit] Joel Allwright

Joel Allwright (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Another non-notable junior footballer. Playing for a national U/17 side is not sufficient by itself to assert notability. Mattinbgn/ talk 22:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Comment The article says he's due internationally for trials within four weeks - maybe it should be kept till then? but definately, revisited.Garrie 01:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Comment with all due respect to Mr. Allwright, the newspaper article referenced indicates he can't get a contract with an A-League club which would be the bare minimum to establish notability. Once again, if at a later date, he was to be picked up by Dundee United or another professional club, the article could be recreated. The editor who created the article may consider saving a copy of this article on his/her user page to recreate if necessary. --Mattinbgn/ talk 02:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment As the author, I've saved a copy at User:Fedgin/Joel Allwright and will consider replacing when/once any further news develops. Fedgin | Talk 08:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete This player does not meet any of the requirements of WP:BIO i.e. he has no professional experience and U-17 is a boys' level, not a notable one. Article could always be recreated if his trial with Dundee United comes to anything, but there's no point hanging on because it may well not, or even if it does he might be sent to the youth team rather than being added to the first team squad, in which case he still wouldn't meet WP:BIO requirements ChrisTheDude 09:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete U-17 players are not notable; if he ever becomes a full professional an article can be creatd about him then. Qwghlm 11:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
