Michael Burns (footballer)

Liverpool reserve/youth players. Fails WP:BIO as has not made any competitive first team appearances. Multi-nomination. I have avoided those players in Liverpool's Youth Cup winning squad beause they need separate consideration. I also nominate:

• Danny Guthrie
• David Mannix
• James Smith (footballer)
• James Frayne

• Keep Guthrie, delete the rest. The rest are just youngsters who have never played professional football, but Guthrie actually has a squad number [1]. Revisit if he is released without playing any games. Punkmorten 17:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Obviously Keep Guthrie, he has a squad number. Smith and Mannix are on the official squad list, and Mannix had a squad number (38), and there is some confusion over whether he still has it. You can still buy a shirt with Mannix 38 on it. I'd support the other two being kept aswell, although it's harder to make a case for them. ArtVandelay13 17:34, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all except Guthrie - unless a player has a squad number (new incoming transfers notwithstanding) it is impossible to claim that he is a first-team squad player. Apart from Guthrie, they all fail WP:BIO and precedent set by other AfDs. Qwghlm 17:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I have withdrawn Guthrie. BlueValour 17:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all Never played first-team football. Catchpole 18:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
