Footballer fails WP:ATHLETE as he has not played at fully-professional level of football. Lack of non-trivial significant third-party sources means he also fails the general notability guidelines at WP:GNG. Only independent source is a stats page which doesn't confirm he passes WP:ATH or give us any significant coverage of this person. --Jimbo^[online] 15:11, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. GiantSnowman 15:15, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
• Comment, this stupid campaign is getting close to being considered disruptive editing in my opinion. Players in the top division in Ireland are notable - here is a list of recent AfD's which have discussed the issue. If the sources are poor then improve them - that is not a reason to delete.--Vintagekits (talk) 15:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• Your list of AfDs about Irish soccer player is biased as it doesn't include the many numerous players who have been deleted via PROD or AfD - a number which far outweighs those that have been kept. GiantSnowman 15:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• I've shown you mine - you show me yours! Look at all the recent AfD's - FOOTY Project members clubing together and making absolute dicks of themselves.--Vintagekits (talk) 15:23, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• The WP:FOOTY deletion archive can be found here. Alas, I can't tell which players are Irish. And as for your accusations of us being dicks, I point you in the way of WP:MOBY. GiantSnowman 15:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• So in response you give me a list of ever single footballer that has ever been to AfD - good retort! What am I dealing with here?--Vintagekits (talk) 15:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• No, as I said, there's no way I can see what articles deleted were of Irish players! GiantSnowman 15:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• WHAT? Show me your list of players that have played in the Premier Division in Ireland that have been deleted or else stop flappin yer gums because providing a list of every player under the sun that has gone to AfD is about a relevant as quotin the price of cabbage.--Vintagekits (talk) 15:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• Are you incapable of understanding that it is impossible for me to see what Irish players have been deleted - precisely because the articles have been deleted, and therefore I cannot look on said article to check their nationality..? Anyways a couple of Irish players recently deleted include Aaron Stewart, Eamon Kavanagh, Eoghan Carew, David Nicholl...GiantSnowman 15:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• You seem to be incapable of telling the difference between the IFA and the FAI and the first division and the premier division - jog on!--Vintagekits (talk) 15:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• Comment I did look for additional sources to try to meet the GNG criteria, as I did for Ger Hanley (footballer). However, I couldn't find anything substantial thus this AfD. --Jimbo^[online] 15:22, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - player fails WP:ATHLETE (as he hasn't "competed at the fully professional level of a sport") and WP:N (as he hasn't "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). GiantSnowman 15:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
• Delete I'm opposed to this deletionism in general - as Vinatagekits says, it almost looks like disruptive editing, but this player unfortuanately does not meet the criteria here. I'd suggest the article history be kept however, to facilitate its reappearance should notable sources appear. Jhealy (talk) 15:53, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
