Has not made an appearance in a fully professional league, so fails WP:BIO. robwingfield «T•C» 20:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep He's joined Gateshead F.C., which was a member of The Football League. According to Gateshead F.C.#Current squad, he deserves notability--NAHID 20:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment - however, Gateshead are now playing in the Northern Premier League, an amateur league, so any appearances for them don't count as appearances in a "fully professional league", so the player fails Wikipedia's notability criteria. robwingfield «T•C» 20:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep notable enough. Sir-Nobby (talk) 20:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment - not according to Wikipedia's notability criteria set at WP:BIO. robwingfield «T•C» 20:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Stong Delete Fails WP:BIO#Athletes as he has never played in a fully-professional league. Keep !votes above are void as Gateshead do not play in a fully-professional league (they play three divisions below one), and (as noted in the introduction of the club's article) are not actually the same club as that that did play in the Football League. пﮟოьεԻ 57 08:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No appearances in a fully pro league, therefore not notable, it's as simple as that. Even if we were to accept that the current Gateshead club is the same entity as the original (which it isn't), the argument that he deserves an article because he plays for a club which dropped out of the fully pro leagues before he was even born is patently ludicrous ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:09, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete sorry, but he's just not notable BanRay 11:43, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - non-notable lower-level footballer. Sebisthlm (talk) 17:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
