Player has now started in fully professional game for
Wilmington Hammerheads FC - see
[1]. We need to change process so we don't waste so much time at beginning of season deleting articles for players who will start sooner or later. In this case as a starter in the first game of the season.

Best practise in this instance is to post to the
WT:FOOTY noticeboard. An Admin will be able to restore it in seconds.

Good point, normally I simply talk to the deleting admin, but he appears to be indefinitely absent. Though it's also a perfect example of why we shouldn't spend so much energy deleting articles like this, only to recreate shortly afterwards. I think we need a process change.

I took the liberty doing it for you a few mins ago at
WT:FOOTY. I hope you don't mind. I disagree with you that we need to change anything.
WP:GNG and
WP:NFOOTBALL are pretty solid in my opinion but you are of course entitled to discuss this as
WT:FOOTY too.

No, I don't mind.

It has been restored.

But not before someone recreated it from scratch, creating extra unnecessary work reconciling the two different versions. It's for this very reason I completely oppose this bizarre and unnecessary wholesale deletion of such articles shortly before the start of the season, that only result in wasting everyone's time.
