Subject fails WP:NFOOTY having never played in a fully professional league and does not have enough significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. PROD was removed by user who believes he may meet GNG, however, beyond basic sports reporting pertaining to his transfer from non-league to Cardiff, there seems no in depth independent coverage of him.

- Delete per nom, fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. Looks like a case of WP:TOOSOON. 21.colinthompson ( talk) 15:58, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- Draft Fails WP:NFOOTBALL, however I feel this should be kept in draft space for a bit, this maybe WP:CRYSTAL, but there seems to be a good indication he near to playing for the first team. Govvy ( talk) 21:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- @ Govvy: Brown appeared on the bench in an EFL Cup tie as back up to the reserve side. As Cardiff were eliminated from the competition, it would be a surprise if he made the bench again this season let alone played. Certainly highly unlikely any time soon.

- Comment@ Kosack: It's not always written on an article and sometimes there are insights to have if you have a little insider knowledge, my gut tells me he will pass NFooty eventually. While he was at Wealdstone FC scouts came down from, Sheff Wed, Sheff U, Bolton, Colchester, MK Dons and Cardiff to which he signed. I think he took a step up too high and he will end up going on loan to another lower league team. When I watched him play I feel he deserves to be in topflight football. Govvy ( talk) 09:32, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- Indeed, he probably will pass WP:NFOOTY one day, but the earliest he would be able to leave Cardiff on loan will be January and that's if he does. Even then, this is all just guesswork and WP:CRYSTALBALL. Kosack ( talk) 10:00, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
