All I would add is that many players who are now 23 once were with Premier League clubs, but now he is with a club too far down the football pyramid at such a young age to pass notability. If he was winding down after a long and successful career with a team in the Southern League, then I'd accept inclusion. As it is, I think precedent suggests that a player must be at Conference North or Conference South level and a first-team regular to get an entry. If every player from such a low level was included, Wiki would be swamped Gretnagod21:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But as a secondary thought, I wouldn't be against creating profiles of footballers ALL the way down the pyramid if that was decided as policy. Gretnagod21:55, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Having played at the highest level in Ireland with Derry City, he meets the following criteria:
Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activities that are themselves considered notable, including college sports in the United States. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles.
