This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because, while he plays non-league football, WPFOOTY:GNG allows for instances where a player can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG. This player obtains notability, in particular, in the records he holds for the Aldershot Town, being the club's youngest ever player and youngest ever goalscorer. There is also a lot of media coverage (from reputable outlets) in respect of the records and of him in general to imply notability, and his page previously featured on the home page in the DYK section. In light of the above, I'm not sure how the nominator has come to the conclusion that this page lacks a credible claim of significance.--Liam E. Bekker (talk) 04:49, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
