A football who plays for Wick Academy F.C., a team in the Scottish Highland Football League. Fails WP:NFOOTY. Prod was contest because, "Although this player does not play in a 'fully professional league' the team in which he plays for competes in other professional competitions namely the Scottish Cup and Scottish Challenge Cup" Bgwhite (talk) 21:52, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:NFOOTY is designed the way it is for a reason. Every year, myriad tiny teams are given the chance to play against their "first division" rivals in cup tournaments. We use "league" criteria, rather than "cup" criteria because "cup" criteria would be (due to the design of such competitions) very weak. 4th and 5th division teams are allowed to play in some national cups and it's always exciting to see a tiny team take on a first division rival in a 50,000-seat stadium. But those one or two games of the year do not instantly confer notability on every player in the team... and for good reason. Without experience playing in a higher league, I just can't see any way the subject meets either WP:NFOOTY or WP:GNG. Stalwart111 (talk) 22:58, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - article is about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that the article fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 17:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
