[edit] Scott Evans (footballer)

Scott Evans (footballer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Previously deleted via WP:PROD but now recreated. The subject fails WP:ATHLETE as he never played in a fully professional league. And, no, his appearances with Ostersunds FK do not make him notable, since that team plays in the Swedish third tier, which is not fully professional. Angelo (talk) 14:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I'd say playing in the FA Youth Cup final and for wales youth is probably just enough for notability. --neonwhite user page talk 15:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

The consensus is that youth caps do not confer notability. GiantSnowman 16:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I have seen no such consensus, please point it out. --neonwhite user page talk 21:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Various discussiona at WP:FOOTBALL have determined such a consensus; also look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability, which states "Have played FIFA recognised senior international football or football at the Olympic games." GiantSnowman 22:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Delete For some reason I completely missed the part in which it said he hadn't played; WP:ATHLETE says: "Competitors and coaches who have competed in a high-level, fully professional league". Manchester City certainly meets that, and Swansea are about to go to championship level. PeterSymonds | talk 15:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC) PeterSymonds | talk 16:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • As clearly shown by the stats in the infobox, though, he's never played a first team match for either club therefore he does not satisfy WP:ATHLETE therefore Delete ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

• Clarify the professionalism or otherwise of the 3rd division of Swedish football in order to make a judgement according to WP:BIO Kevin McE (talk) 17:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Given that the top division of the Swedish league is not fully pro, I very much doubt that the 3rd division is. Therefore I do not believe that he has played in a fully pro league, thus failing WP:BIO#Athletes as consensus is that youth caps do not confer notability. пﮟოьεԻ 57 17:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
