G4 was contested on the grounds that the article was sufficiently different. Regardless of which, this article still fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT, as Mr. Laiton still has not received significant coverage or played in a fully pro league. Sir Sputnik (talk) 11:32, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. As for the G4 being declined, I have issue with that - this is indeed a "sufficiently identical and unimproved copy" of the original article - if anything it's worse as it doesn't include an infobox! Giant Snowman 11:45, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - article about a footballers that hasn't played in a fully professional league, or represented his country at senior level, which means that it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 22:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
