PROD contested by article creator - who, I note, has had a number of their footballer bios deleted or draftified. This player fails WP:GNG (no significant coverage) and WP:NFOOTBALL (never played in a fully-professional league, never in the Football League - only in non-league National League which does not confer notability). Unlikely to be notable any time soon so draftifying not appropriate. GiantSnowman 12:27, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Although there are a few sources cited in the article, their quality is dubious, and the facts show that the subject does not yet meet WP:NFOOTBALL (as stated by nom). The subject could certainly become notable in the future, but for now my vote is to delete. Toadspike (talk) 15:48, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBAL and citations not enough. Caphadouk (talk) 09:21, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Fails NFOOTBALL and GNG, this players highest level competing is at tier 5 which is not included in the list of leagues considered fully professional Josey Wales ^Parley 13:42, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - not much found in a search, also fails GNG per below Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:09, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
