• Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 15:59, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Portsmouth F.C. appears to be part of EFL League Two, which is listed as a fully professional league. Simpson is listed as a member of Portsmouth, so apparently he meets WP:NFOOTY. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:38, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• @Onel5969: Simply being attached to a club in The Football League is not enough to meet WP:NFOOTY, you need to have made your first-team debut first. JMHamo (talk) 17:50, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Absolutely right, JMHamo - I can find no record of him having appeared in a game with either Porsmourth or his former professional team. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:11, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
