Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Bulman
As alluded to by Bretonbanquet, many (probably most) articles about English Football League players are created as soon as the player makes his debut, with no more sourcing than a link to Soccerbase (a stats database) and, if you're lucky, a link to the BBC match report that lists his name in the teamsheet. But even that limited level of sourcing does verify that the player passes |the relevant subject-specific notability guideline, and that is enough. The point of the subject-specific guideline is to set a standard at which ''the subject of the article'' can be presumed to meet |the general notability guideline, and to allow time for ''the article about the subject'' to be improved to demonstrate the validity of that presumption. cheers
