I am new to this so i am doing my best to use references and player stats where possible. Can you please give me detailed instructions what i am lacking and how i can ensure this page isn't deleted. This is a Soccer player that plays for the U-17 Australian Squad and i just want him to be recognised.

"Wanting him to be recognized" is not a good reason to write a Wikipedia article - Wikipedia only covers topics that are notable already. For soccer players that usually requires having played in a fully professional league - I expect he's too young for that. Have newspapers or reputable sports magazines written articles about him (not just passing mentions, preferably not just the local paper)? If he has received significant coverage in such sources, that would also help establish notability. Huon (talk) 07:16, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Billy Hatzinikolis[edit]

The article Billy Hatzinikolis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Playing for Australia at junior level is not considered notable enough for inclusion on wikipedia. Please wait until he plays for (not just is signed by) a fully professional club or plays for the senior national team.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
