[edit] Scott Davies (English footballer)
Fails WP:BIO as never having played in a fully professional league. robwingfield «T•C» 16:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Dalejenkins 18:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Not notable Corpx 19:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Quite ironic, as I placed him up for deletion before. Why is he kept when he definetley wasn't notable (when in non-league with Morecambe) and now he's nearly there, people decide against his inclusion? Mattythewhite 21:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - didn't realise... I've just checked, and the previous AFD was before the move from Scott Davies (goalkeeper) to Scott Davies (English footballer). Regardless, WP:BIO states that a player should have played in a fully professional league before being notable enough to warrant an article. This player doesn't satisfy that criterion, and may not do so next season if Morecambe feel he is not up to the job. robwingfield «T•C» 22:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - not currently notable. -- BPMullins | Talk 23:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I doubt Morecambe are going to release him, they've done their summer releases already [1]. It's a very mild case of WP:CRYSTAL, but there's really little point in deleting him if the article's going to be created, probably in a poorer state in just under two months time. The general understanding is that players who are in league club squads but are yet to play a game are allowed to be kept. In the context, I think it would be fine to keep Davies under this ruling until the start of the season. HornetMike 11:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

- Keep - while he has not played a league match yet, an appearance in the play-off final is surely noteable. If it must be deleted, surely the text could be archive somewhere so that it may be recreated if and when he does play in the league -- Campdave 18:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep For the reasons that HornetMike stated. Che84 20:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep for now, as per HornetMike. He played in the Play Off Final, is in Morecambe's squad and may well therefore be playing in the Football League in a couple of months time, at which time another article would have to be created, and this one at least is fine. Of course if he leaves them without playing and ends up back in non-league football then at that time it should be deleted. But for the sake of a few months it should be kept for now. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 02:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as per HornetMike. If he fails to play for Morecambe in the Football League the article can come back for AfD later in the year. Daemonic Kangaroo 05:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep wait and see if he does play in the Football League Kingjamie 12:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep per my vote in previous related AfD - I have seen no reason to change my mind as yet. He is a player contracted to a club in a fully professional league (at the moment). Wait and see. Ref (chew)(do) 15:57, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. We cannot predict whether he will play for Morecambe next season. If he does, we can undelete. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 18:34, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as per HornetMike. Govvy 11:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
