Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Niall Walsh (Irish footballer)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The vast amount of hand-waving and incivility in this AfD by those seeking to keep the article don't make any difference to the central premise - it doesn't matter about the professional status of the LoI, and it equally doesn't matter about the professional status of Galway, because there's one overriding factor here - Walsh has never played a game in the LoI for Galway. The claims of bias are laughably wrong - if this was a young player for an English professional side who'd never played for them, it would be a clear delete - and I suspect we wouldn't have seen the unseemly procession of comments that pollute this AfD. Compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Molloy (footballer) - now there's an AfD where there's a genuine discussion to be had. This one? No. As ever, no prejudice to re-creation should he become notable etc. Black Kite 20:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
