Comment - I can't believe Rushden & Diamonds are in the 7th tier now. I had them down as being in League Two or something... This player has only played 8 minutes of professional football according to Soccerbase - the one minute against Stenhousemuir doesn't count as Stenhousemuir were playing below professional level that season. I can't find any coverage on him but, as GS says, he is still young so he could build on his appearances, at least in theory.

Delete Fails GNG. Akubuine barely passes WP:NFOOTBALL and has since played for teams in the fifth/sixth tier in Scotland and seventh tier in England. His article can be deleted now instead of having someone stumble across it in 2031 and AFDing it.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The player passes NFOOTY by the narrowest of margins, a brief appearance in one game nearly four years ago. Since then he has played only in either the fifth teir in Scotland or the seventh teir in england. The idea that he has some kind of ongoing career where he will suddenly bounce back to full professionalism and therefore some form of notability is essentially nil to the point of being a laughable suggestion.
Furthermore there is absolutely no in depth coverage of the player in any source of note and nor, given the level of his achievement, would one expect there to be.
To be honest I was tempted simply to close this as delete given the weakness of the keep votes but I suppose it doesn't harm to extend by another week given three is not an overriding opinion one way orcthe other, to see if sources showing GNG can be shown.
Delete - passing
WP:NFOOTY barely on its own does not mandate that we have an article on this chap if there is little chance he will return to fully-professional playing.

Weak delete - the player is still in his early twenties but, given that he only passes the SNG by 8 mins and has zero coverage and given that the chance of him playing at professional level again is so incredibly low, I would have to lean towards deletion being the more reasonable outcome here.
