The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There was a clear consensus. This is actually a WP:BIO1E situation and key players in the cup run should be included in a comprehensive section in the club article or, if it is considered sufficiently notable, possibly even a separate page.

[edit] Lee Evans (football goalkeeper)

Originally PROD'ed by myself on the grounds that this football player has never played professionally. PROD contested on the grounds that Since he's played in the Third Round for the lowest-ranked team ever to reach that stage, I'd say he's pretty notable ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment What is the current criteria on non-league players playing in latter stages of the FA Cup? Peanut4 (talk) 22:08, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Here's another one with similar notability - Vaughan Thomas. Peanut4 (talk) 22:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
    • That one should go too, but I'll refrain from bulking it into this nomination given that at least one person's already !voted ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:BIO as he has not played in a fully-professional league. пﮟოьεԻ 57 22:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - The reason why I contested the PROD was not because I specifically believe this article should be saved, but because I felt that someone needed to play devil's advocate. I don't believe we've ever established specific notability criteria for non-league players in the latter stages of the FA Cup. However, Chasetown are the lowest-ranked team ever to reach that stage of the tournament, so that should count for something. – PeeJay 22:29, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
• It's not illogical for the article on Chasetown F.C. to have a section on this year's impressive cup run. Any information about notable players during that run (which Evans was) could easily be merged into that. Grutness...wha? 00:42, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - I might be persuaded if it had been a top flight team he had knocked out, but it was only Port Vale. Apart from that, and a bit of POV and a copyvio photo, the article really does not add up to much. Qwghlm (talk) 12:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - as per usual WP:BIO concerns about footballers who have only played non-league in England. The bit about Chasetown being the lowest ranked side to ever compete in the 3rd Round is open to interpretation as well. - fchd (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
