- Keep Think you'll find them in Football League One which is in this list making them notable and him with it as he has made his pro-debut.--Egghead06 (talk) 15:53, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - nomination appears to be on the basis that Jack Maloney is a non-notable sports team?? Assuming that he meant Jack Maloney plays for a non-notable team, that is, frankly, utterly ludicrous. Two years ago, Portsmouth were in the Premier League, the most-watched league in the world in the most popular spectator sport on the planet..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:44, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - this chap has made his professional sports debut, meeting WP:NFOOTBALL. Article needs improving, not deleting, to meet WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 21:57, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This player is clearly worthy of being on wiki and with the amount of people who have shown interest in editing this page, it will soon be up to wiki's standard. Kudosn (User talk:Kudosn)
- Comment - WP:NFOOTBALL actually states that anyone who has appeared in a fully professional league is presumed to be notable. While Portsmouth plays in a fully professional league, Maloney appears to not have played in a league match. He has appeared in a League Cup match between two fully professional teams, but NFOOTBALL does not mention cup matches (although the essay WP:FOOTYN does appear to include cup matches).Nigel Ish (talk) 17:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Because the Football League Cup is a competition restricted to members of the Football League, a fully professional league, appearances in it have for as long as I can remember counted as passing WP:NFOOTBALL and that guideline's predecessors. Mr Maloney played in a Football League Cup tie for a high-profile third-tier club. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't wildly disagree that Maloney is probably notable (although the fact that Pompey have just signed 10 players on one month contracts [1] may reduce the chances of Maloney playing more matches in the near future). Perhaps someone needs to clarify NFOOTBALL about matches between fully professional teams in cup competions.Nigel Ish (talk) 11:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Has not played a fully professional league game. Cup games are not league games. Also there are not enough articles references to suggest he is notable.Simione001 (talk) 11:25, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per User:Struway2 - League Cup games count towards meeting WP:NFOOTBALL. — sparklism hey! 12:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. While he has not played in a league match, appearances in the League Cup are considered sufficient in passing WP:NFOOTBALL, as it only permits teams from the Football League, which is fully professional. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
