Repost of Sekani Simpson

A tag has been placed on Sekani Simpson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process.

Notability of footballers

Hello. You may not know, although I think you probably do, that Wikipedia has guidelines about notability, which means whether a subject qualifies for their own article or not. If a footballer hasn't played in a fully-professional league, which in England means Football League level, they don't qualify. So if you keep creating them, they'll keep being deleted, and you'll be wasting your own time as well as that of others. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
