Comment: per .  is an argument to avoid for a reason, but if somebody has, indeed, played professionally, it's likely that somebody is going to come looking for information about them. If they find even a short article like this one, they're likely to be satisfied, but if they get a "this page has been deleted" notice, they're likely to think that Wikipedia is stupid. He's |verifiable though |reliable sources; his playing at the fully pro league, even if only in a Cup match, should be sufficient to |make him notable. ABOBS|Don't feed the nabobs

Comment: I don't see a reason to deviate from  or  here. Higgins is a youth player who happens to have played just over an hour of cup football. It clearly states youth players are not notable unless they've played in a fully professional league, senior international or meet GNG. League competitions are generally more notable than Cup competitions. It also feels wrong for League Cup players to have pages whereas participants in the more prestigious FA Cup don't. No prejudice against recreating if he gets promoted from Perth's youth team and plays in the A-League, or any other fully pro-league for that matter

Comment: While anyone who played in a FA cup final would undoubtedly meet , NFOOTBALL is only a safety net for players who have not received sufficient coverage. My opinion in this case is that a guy who was hauled off after playing less than 90 minutes of one incidental match, which was not "competitive" in my opinion. The match report linked in the article details how Portsmouth fielded nine teenagers and also describes "a near-youth team". Higgins has not received sufficient coverage to meet the GNG – and quite why we should have such articles on Wikipedia is beyond me. Anyone studying NFOOTBALL will see he does not meet its criteria, as it does not grant an exception for the league cup. I do however believe it would be beneficial to reword NFOOTBALL if there are those who believe it does not serve its purpose
