Article about a footballer who plays in the Scottish third division which isn't a fully pro league. Therefore the article fails

Delete - certainly fails
WP:GNG. I don't think he does - he has not been the recipient of significant third-party coverage. The article certainly has lots of sources, but if you take the time to look at them they don't cover this person in nearly enough detail. Many are basic match reports.

Delete – Fails
WP:GNG as the vast majority the of sources are no more then routine match reports. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 06:07, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

Keep Notability is clearly there. Sparhelda 19:23, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Where? – Michael (talk) 02:48, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Third party sources such as here and here clearly show his notability, having started every game for Rangers this season. Sparhelda 14:17, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Delete – Notability is not clearly established and hasn't been at any of the other AFD's. Playing for a notable club does not automatically make you notable. Also does not pass

Keep - This significant third party source on MacLeod indicates clearly his notability. His club is notable so all we are left with is that he doesn't play in a fully pro-league even though his club is fully pro. Deletion would therefore be just a box ticking exercise.--Egghead06 (talk) 07:04, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Apparently
Paulo Maldini, which now belongs to the hitherto-anonymous Lewis McLeod. This has been ratified by the SFL and Jim Traynor has written an article about it. 176.253.82.115 (talk) 11:58, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

- Above contribution is clearly rubbish/vandalism -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:01, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Player passes
WP:GNG with significant non-routine coverage in third-party sources. An excess of references in addition to these is no reason for deletion. Sgt Elvan (talk) 19:19, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply
