Non-notable footballer. Has never played in a pofessional league. Mattythewhite 14:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reason:[reply]
- Delete It appears that neither of them has played a game in a fully-professional league, thus delete per WP:BIO. Number 57 14:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Marvin Morgan, has been called up to England National Game XI ("England C") squad
— MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 19:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)- England National Game XI doesn't really imply notability. Mattythewhite 19:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Most players in that page have their own article. Okay, so I know that's not a viable policy, but I am presenting the facts. To be honest, I've no vested interest in this, other than it happens to be an article I'm watching. Far too many people delete articles though which aren't taking up much room and do contain information and are referenced — i.e. like this one.
— MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 22:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)- I'm certainly no deletionist, but articles like this one do not meet the guideline at WP:BIO and should therefore be deleted. Mattythewhite 23:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The clue is in the name - guideline. You can't meet a guideline, only try to follow it. Don't forget WP:IAR — MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 21:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, fair enough, but there is a general agreement within WP:FOOTY that players who have not played in a professional league are not notable for inclusion on Wikipedia, which we decide to go by. Mattythewhite 21:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
