Never made a first-team appearance for Portsmouth in any competition as the article alleges; article probably written by a friend or the person themselves. No grounds whatsoever to suggest notability. Monty (talk) 16:07, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 16:24, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete as the only claim to notability is an obvious hoax. Judging by Google, he does exist, and does play soccer at least recreationally, so this could also be a WP:BLP violation. Smartyllama (talk) 20:28, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Vanity page of a nearlyman. False information, easily verified as didn't happen. Fails GNG, fails NFOOTBALL. Apparently plays football but clearly not at a notable level yet. ClubOranje^T 09:36, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - only claim to notability in the article is demonstrably a lie -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:45, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per Smartyllama. Fails WP:GNG & WP:NFOOTY as well. Inter&anthro (talk) 13:19, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
