Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Kay (footballer)
in my experience, participation in the FA Cup has, generally, been grounds for inclusion.  I remember asking about it once in a discussion at WikiProject Football over some players who had participated in a cup (Carling Cup, I believe) match but not in a league match, and the consensus appeared to be that they met  on the basis of the cup appearance.  The FA Cup is more prestigious than the Carling Cup, surely, and this athlete has played in the fourth round, which, for me, is enough to pass
