It looks like this player has a bright future. However, he doesn't yet pass WP:NFOOTY, and although there is some coverage out there I don't think it is enough to satisfy WP:GNG. On balance it is probably too soon for us to have an article on this footballer. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 20:15, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Probably two early sources appear to be as follows [1],[2] [3], [4], [5], [6].Blethering Scot 20:34, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 14:11, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:GNG - and not suprisingly as Ayr's youngest ever goal-scorer [7], [8]. Nfitz (talk) 21:24, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - article about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league (the only match he played was at the third tier in Scotland) or represented his country at senior level, which means that it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 21:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:45, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
