Previously deleted by PROD. Youth footballer fails WP:ATHLETE as he has never played at a fully-professional level of football. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant media coverage. --Jimbo[online] 13:04, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Question - Would being called up to the England squad for the Bulgaria and Switzerland games count towards Wp:GNG? DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 13:27, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment if he actually plays then, yes. In the last few years, we've seen Northern Ireland call-up and play youth players despite not having played for their respective clubs. They were still deemed non-notable until they took too the field. Reading the article, Shea is not actually called-up to the squad, just training with them to make up numbers and probably gain a little experience. --Jimbo[online] 14:33, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, to back that point up further, now that Scott Carson has pulled out of the squad, Scott Loach has been called up as his replacement, not Shea. --Jimbo[online] 11:10, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
