Renominate: the standard at WP:BIO is playing, not merely being in a squad Kevin McE (talk) 21:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I corrected this nomination, which was accidentally added to the original nom. Procedural, no opinion on deletion. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 01:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Thank you for correcting my procedural error. Kevin McE (talk) 01:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep He has played for England U-19 including in the U-19 Euro Championships. Peanut4 (talk) 01:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:BIO as he hasn't played in a fully pro league. Youth caps (aside from U-21 level) are not considered notable. пﮟოьεԻ 57 08:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as per User:Number 57 and established consensus that being a member of a squad is not enough, but actually playing is. - fchd (talk) 08:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, U19 is not notable. Punkmorten (talk) 09:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete WP:FOOTY has just established, after much discussion, that U21 is just about notable, but U19 is a step too far. Bring it back once he makes a first team appearance or is selected for U21. --Dweller (talk) 10:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep is a current first-team squad member at a large Premier League club. I thought we'd discussed this. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • We discussed it for ages, but no consensus was reached over this or conference footballers so the old criteria stand until such time as we formalise any new criteria. King of the NorthEast 20:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, yet to make professional debut, when/if he does then the article can be recreated. King of the NorthEast 20:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:BIO. In reply to those who want to make squad member notable - if we do and the guy gets injured before he plays we are stuck with an article on a non-notable person. Wait until he gets on the pitch and he then gets a page. TerriersFan (talk) 02:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
