Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 10:52, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I honestly thought that playing a league match for a professional side as a professional footballer qualified for notability. I was sure that I read somewhere that players playing for professional teams national levels of the league structure were eligible and hence I created the page, has guidance changed or did I misconstrue something? I see that the Conference Premier is not listed on the list of leagues at WP Football but it is a fully national league with ~50% professional sides so wouldn't playing for one of those be considered as notable as playing in League Two? Maybe not. Mountain^cirque 11:29, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mountaincirque: - no, you must play in a fully-professional league (not just for a pro team) in order to meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 11:53, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying, sorry for wasting everyone's time. There is a draft page at Draft:Aidan Grant that I worked from, that can presumably remain until he potentially plays in League Two. Mountain^cirque 12:01, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mountaincirque: That's what the Draft space is for and you've wasted nobody's time. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 12:06, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mountaincirque: @JMHamo: - if you're both happy, I can close this AFD, and then merge the article with the draft, before deleting in mainspace (i.e. so that it's only present in draftspace)? Giant Snowman 12:34, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good to me... JMHamo (talk) 13:11, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed from my side, I have already updated the draft page. Thanks all. Mountain^cirque 09:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
