Gael Kakuta[edit]

Non-notable youth player who fails WP:ATHLETE as he has never made an appearance in a fully-professional league. Was originally PRODded on 21st September 2008 for similar reasons, but the PROD was contested by an IP user on 23rd September with no justification given.

Keep. No big deal for me as I only wikified the article, but article says the subject was "capped" for the French under 17 team. I would have thought that international level play, even as a youth, made the subject notable? Itsmejudith (talk) 19:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's been discussed many times before, and consensus is that youth caps do not confer notability (see here as one example where this is confirmed). пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 22:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
