Already deleted by a previous AfD, then recreated, I am relisting this since a subsequent CSD G4 speedy deletion request was declined, as you can see from the article history. The subject is a 16-year old English guy who clearly fails WP:BIO for sportsmen. Angelo 22:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. and previous AfD. JohnCD 22:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Angelo 22:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, as per previous AfD. He does not meet notability criteria for footballers. When/if he makes his debut for Villa, the article can be reinstated. King of the NorthEast 23:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - astonished that anyone had the nerve to re-create this. Non-notable all ends up (at the moment, which is the crucial bit - re-create only if and when he makes a first-team appearance for a fully-professional club). Ref ^(chew)(do) 15:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete If his career were to end tomorrow, we would be left with an article about someone who had only played in the reserves and for England youth sides. That's not a notable sportsman. Fails WP:BIO, has not played in a fully professional league. As an aside, I see the article is completely unreferenced as well. --Malcolmxl5 15:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per all the above. пﮟოьεԻ 57 01:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The lack of references to this article is a major concern. Moreover, he has yet to make a league debut in the senior side as well. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 13:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete - even if I don't agree that he is just "some 16-year old guy". A regular youth international and a reserve team player at 16 years of age is quite unusual (IMO more notable than one League 2 game), he still is perhaps a little short of notability. If he would have played the U-17 WC, won something with the Aston Villa youths or been member of a CL or UEFA-cup squad, I would have regarded him as notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sebisthlm (talk • contribs) 12:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
