Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:22, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football,  and Panama. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:22, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Some sources found here, here, here and here. JTtheOG (talk) 07:24, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources identified by JTtheOG which constitute WP:SIGCOV. An international footballer who has played in FIFA World Cup qualifiers also takes this person past the mundane meaning offline sources are likely too. Valenciano (talk) 14:56, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per JTtheOG and Valenciano. Besides the sources above, there are many many other sources specifically about him (e.g. from YouTube, tvn-2.com, etc). He is clearly significant figure in Panama football with an ongoing pro and international career. I look at the other Sports WikiProjects (or any WikiProject) and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 20. By the time I finish writing this, another 20 will probably be deleted. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:42, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep was able to find multiple sources in both English and Spanish.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 22:17, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources provided by JTtheOG would seen to satisfy notability.Lovewiki106 (talk) 00:24, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify - Although there is online coverage of Linton in English- and Spanish-language sources, I'm not finding in-depth coverage. Most of the coverage is transfer announcements or national team call-up announcements, with very little focus on his footballing accomplishments. I suspect there could be more out there, but to date, he's been playing at a fairly low level (top division in Malta and Panama, third division in Japan, plus being at the fringes of the Panama national team) so I can't be sure.

 * Besides the sources JTtheOG found, I found 5 and 6 which focus more on his footballing accomplishments. There are also many many other sources specifically about him in Japanese and Spanish. Also, as Valenciano said, offline sources are likely too. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 03:59, 18 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep: per sources listed by JTtheOG. Meets GNG. Indianfootball98 (talk) 16:58, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:22, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify or delete, per Jogurney. The sources found above are routine, transactional, and/or heavily quote-based and do not amount to SIGCOV. Random interviews on YouTube are obviously not RS, secondary, or independent. JoelleJay (talk) 01:13, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly passes GNG after latest round of sources added.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:27, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources above which show notability. GiantSnowman 18:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
