The result was keep. As the player now meets
WP:NFOOTBALL, he meets the notability standard and the
snowball clause applies, as
Phil will be tossing snowballs with his spoon before this gets deleted.

He has not played a professional senior game at club or international level. Article fails
WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails
WP:GNG.

Are U17 and 20 considered "the highest level of football" per
WP:NFOOTBALL?

Delete - fails both
WP:GNG and
WP:NFOOTBALL, Youth international caps do not infer notability; that is long-standing consensus.

Keep - now appears to meet NFOOTBALL following his pro debut; still needs improving & updating to meet GNG.

Delete - per GS.
WP:NFOOTY is quite clear that international representation has to be at full senior level so the youth appearances noted above do not count, and there is no indication that he achieved anything during these or any other appearances that would ensure a GNG pass. No problem with recreation if he achieves this or plays in an FPL or if he plays at the weekend, the AfD won't be closed by then.Fenix down (

Keep - now notable. In the loosest possible sense. Still a GNG failure, but as a young player happy to assume his career will now grow.
