He has not played a professional senior game at club or international level. Article fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG, refrences are routine. Simione001 (talk) 01:25, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:GNG with articles from several countries over many years such as [1] [2], [3], [4], [5]. Doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL as there are no fully professional football leagues in New Zealand, but that doesn't matter as GNG trumps NFOOTBALL. Nfitz (talk) 04:09, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - per Nfitz, who provides four examples of reasonably lengthy interviews / comments from the player on his career. My concern is that the first two are regional reporting (the fifth is just a WP:ROUTINE match report), however, they are all of significant length. Would help to see the article expanded with this content to show GNG. User:Fenix down

Yes, the fifth is routine. I should have mentioned that ... was trying to find recent national-level coverage ... and all the coverage I can see in the last 2 seasons has been routine. Nfitz (talk) 15:01, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:29, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given other editors have claimed that it meets WP:GNG and with no refutation being explained, perhaps you could explain why you don't think (most) of the references supplied don't support the player meeting WP:GNG? Nfitz (talk) 01:47, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman - yes, consensus can change, but would you like to elaborate what has changed since the last deletion discussion in July 2012 where you claimed that the subject passed WP:GNG? Mentoz (talk) 21:09, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
