Damien Curran

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. Also fails WP:N. --Leagueofireland (talk) 21:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep, a full-time pro ~~Delete~~ Keep Spiderone (talk) 12:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Being a full-time pro isn't enough - WP:ATHLETE dictates that you have to play in a full-time pro league, which this player does not! Giant Snowman 12:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but he has played in European ties against professional clubs (eg Randers FC) Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source that he has played in a professional European comp? Giant Snowman 09:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can help. Here and here. Admittedly Curran didn't play in either of these matches. JRA_Westy Qld2 ^Talk 09:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He came on as a substitute in the away match. He also played in both games of a CL qualifier against Elfsborg two years ago.[2] Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I'll change my vote to keep. Giant Snowman 10:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
