Football player who fails

Keep. This footballer representing the Welsh under-17s internationally is notable enough for me.

I think you might want to reconsider that. Under-21s maybe, but under-17 international level receives minimal coverage in the media; you maybe see the result in the paper, that's about it. He won't have received significant coverage in independent sources due to that.

Delete playing international youth football (including under-21) does not make a player notable, as the highest level of football they can play at is the senior side. He fails
WP:ATH as he hasn't played in a fully-professional league/competition, and due to lack of secondary sources
WP:N. Recreate if and when he does make his professional debut. --Jimbo[online] 13:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)reply
Delete although I'm sympathetic to the Welsh U17 point. If he becomes notable then he'll play for Northampton.

Delete fails
WP:ATHLETE, and youth caps do not confer notability, especially at such a low level. --

Delete for now due to failure to meet
WP:ATHLETE and lack of sources establishing general notability. This article can easily be recreated if and when he makes his professional debut.

Delete - no pro appearances and under-17 international football just isn't notable. I was at school with a lad who played under-17 international sport and even the highly parochial local paper didn't bother mentioning it....... --
