 | This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how notability may be interpreted within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. |

Note that past AfD closures made prior to the development of these criteria (5/2/2008) cannot be used as precedents for keeping articles. Any future changes to the criteria must be proposed and debated at WP:FOOTY.
Player notability
The player section of this notability guidance has been superseded by WP:Notability (sports), and is included below for information only as a record of the previous guidance that the Footy project came up with.
Players are deemed notable if they meet any of the criteria below:
- Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure. This must be supported by evidence from a reliable source on a club by club basis for teams playing in leagues that are not recognised as being fully professional.
- Have played in a competitive fixture between two fully professional clubs in a domestic, Continental or Intercontinental club competition.
- Have played FIFA recognised senior international football or football at the Olympic games.
- Pre-professional (amateur era) footballers to have played at the national level of league football are considered notable (no other level of amateur football confers notability).
Should a person fail to meet these additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.
Club notability
- Teams that have played in the national cup (or the national level of the league structure in countries where no cup exists) generally meet WP:N criteria. Teams that are not eligible for national cups must be shown to meet broader WP:N criteria.
Country-specific criteria:
- England: Clubs that play or have played at step 6 (level 10), or in the FA Cup, FA Trophy, FA Amateur Cup or FA Vase are generally notable.
League notability
- Leagues whose members are eligible for national cups are generally notable.
- Leagues that are a country's highest level are generally notable.
- Other leagues are assumed non-notable unless they can be shown to meet broader WP:N criteria.
