The result was no consensus. While it's clear that he does not meet
WP:NFOOTY, that is irrelevant if he can meet the
WP:GNG. There is no clear consensus on this point.

Nothing has changed since the
first AfD notability-wise. Still fails
WP:NFOOTY and
WP:GNG and all that. Tagged G4 by
JMHamo, but it doesn't qualify.

I'm okay with draftification, if it comes to that.

No reason to salt if it's deleted, this is only the second deletion and it's only because of his contested sudden rise in notability.

Delete - being an unused sub, even in the Champions League, does not confer notability --

Keep for now More than 1500 views in 3 days, people want to find out who the guy is. It’s weird a player can be on the bench for a quarter final of the champions league and not have a Wikipedia page, people expect to find one — Preceding

Delete currently fails NFooty, and recreate if he does make his fully pro debut.

Comment to show he clearly passes WP:GNG even though WP:NFOOTBALL isn't met (for the next couple weeks at least):
[1][2][3][4][5]. Deleting this article would be non-sensical. At the very least it should be draftified.

Delete, a professional footballer who has not played in a professional football match.

Delete he will likely go on to make his senior debut soon but at present he simply doesn't pass
WP:NFOOTBALL or
WP:GNG.

Keep article appears to meet GNG, based on the majority of the links above provided by SportingFlyer, and the Independent reference at the main article.

Delete - Fails
NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a
fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy
GNG. To my mind the sources presented in the article and here do not satisfy GNG as they are in the main local sources, blog posts, or hype articles speculating how good this player might be, consensus about these are they are not suitable for GNG.

Draftify as per suggestion by
SportingFlyer. Whilst the page views now are high, it is because of the fact he was listed on the subs bench so there is a curiosity factor that'll ease if nothing else noteworthy happens any time soon. However, an upcoming player who gets to the bench may well become "someone", so I agree that taking the article out of mainspace and seeing if it can be developed in draft is a good move for now.
