Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David O'Connor (footballer) (2nd nomination)
The team O'Connor plays for is Drogheda United which is in the top league of Irish football. Ireland is not as strong a football nation as England, and the level of professionalism doesn't go as far down as in the English system, but it is still a league which receives as much coverage in the Irish media as if it had been fully professional. If we are to follow the "must be a fully professional league" to the extreme, the coverage of football players in Ireland would be ''zero'', and I don't think that is the proper balance. I think the person passes general |notability criteria; his actions on the football field, which includes scoring goals, are frequently covered in Irish sports press, and there is http://www.soccerway.com/players/david-oconnor/7144/ this profile for him which makes a short bio on him verifiable, and thus sustainable
