The result was Delete. While the subject-specific notability guidelines do not trump the general notability guideline, they do provide a convenient means of treating a subject when sources are expected to exist but are not currently available to the discussion. They do not provide an additional hurdle that the article has to pass just because the subject of the article matches the subject of the guideline. So from that standpoint, the first keep argument in this discussion had the chance to outweigh all of the delete arguments, as the subject is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. However upon inspection of the source provided in the article, of which there was only one, it was a trivial mention (just mentions he was the goaltender for at least a portion of a game with Rushden & Diamonds F.C. -- no critical commentary of how he played), hardly meets the requirements of WP:N, in that the depth of coverage is not substantial. Therefore we must fall back upon the subject-specific notability guideline, which the delete arguments clearly identify as this article does not pass. My decision therefore is delete.

Contested PROD. Has not made an appearance in a fully professional league, so fails WP:ATHLETE. Rushden & Diamonds now play in the Conference National, which is not fully professional, so appearances this season for Rushden do not establish notability. robwingfield « T• C» 19:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC) reply
