• Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 14:11, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 18:46, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Article needs work but subject defo notable. Hundreds of articles on English semi-pro players on Wiki. Gannon has been named in LoI Premier Division Team of the Tear on at least one occasion. Also played for Dundalk in European football this season. They have qualified for group stages of 2016–17 Europa League. Surely this is notable. Is there a prejudice against Irish semi-pro footballers on Wiki ? Djln Djln (talk) 20:52, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NFOOTY failure. I have to say that I find the claim that there are "Hundreds of articles on English semi-pro players" somewhat dubious as consensus has been very clear that they are equally as non-notable as their Irish counterparts (here are a couple of example AfDs on such players).
