Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested without addressing the delete rationale. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:52, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy. This is a young player just signed to a team in a fully pro league listed in WP:FPL. He did not play in the first match of the season [1], but given he's just out of university, that's not surprising. There's a good chance he will play in the season, but no certainty. WP:NFOOTBALL does not allow for considering the "possibility" of appearing, so I cannot vote "keep," but it does not make sense to delete an article that might be revived satisfying WP:NFOOTBALL very soon.
