Deletion of Seamus Coleman

Comment: He may fail WP:Athlete, but that is itself a secondary criteron.  The basic criterion under  is coverage in reliable, published secondary sources.  Coleman has http://news.google.com/news?q=%22seamus%20coleman%22 20 google news hits in the last month alone, and there's a fair degree of coverage on other sites

Comment: Fails  due to him not playing at a fully professional level or in a competitive full international. The coverage is about the transfer, not the subject as a player and is not 'substantial coverage

Comment: League of Ireland may be semi pro, but it is that nation's top level league. Quick search shows that almost all LOI players have articles. He has a professional contract with Everton, and under-21 caps. Technically he might fail thlete but seems a bit picky

Comment: As to general notability, the google news hits are half non-RS and the rest just mention his transfer, the ''Irish Independent'' para is general spacefilling football gossip, and the ''Irish Times'' mentions are just that – mentions of his name in team sheets and match reports. His transfer is covered, but only to the extent of reporting it happened; the BBC covers transfers in similar detail at much lower levels of English football, e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/eastbourne_borough/7867746.stm this report of Eastbourne Borough, a semi-pro team playing in the fifth tier, signing a player whose only competitive experience was at even lower levels. Footnote 6 at #Basic criteria says ''Non-triviality is a measure of the depth of content of a published work, and how far removed that content is from a simple directory entry or a mention in passing that does not discuss the subject in detail.'' I haven't yet seen coverage of Mr Coleman that goes beyond the trivial, so in my view he fails . And as he clearly fails WP:ATHLETE, by never having played in a fully-professional league, I have to go with delete. cheers

Comment: Playing 50+ matches in the highest division of Ireland and a well-publicized move to Everton are enough for me.  trumps

Comment: He fails  as he has not yet played at a fully professional level. Furthermore, Wikipedia:N#General_notability_guideline|WP:N states that media coverage only ''presumes'' notability, it doesn't guarantee it. What has this player done to make him notable? And how is his notabliity established in the sources given? The '''quality''' of the sources should be the most important criterion here, not the '''quantity'''. This article can be recreated if and when he makes his professional debut, but until then he doesn't make the grade
