 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete lacks enough coverage to pass the general notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:58, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 11:36, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep There are a few more references up to 2017, which will allow some improvement to the article.  Aoziwe (talk) 00:25, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. There seem to be sufficient sources on him if one clicks the links at the top, , , including this article which calls him "one of Queensland’s most decorated match officials": . SunChaser (talk) 09:01, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - subject has been a professional referee at club level for 9 years, and at international level for 4. As the two above !votes show there is sufficient coverage to back this up and demonstrate that the subject passes WP:GNG. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 00:15, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Coverage appears to be mainly routine sports reporting--that he was the ref for this game, he made a bad call here, he got hurt there, or he's mentioned in a list of referees. Being one of over 3000 FIFA international referees doesn't seem encyclopedic and being a one of a state's "most decorated officials" doesn't seem to meet any notability criteria I'm aware of.  I also didn't see his name on the current list of FIFA officials. Papaursa (talk) 04:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. There does not seem to be enough to pass GNG or NSPORT. Dino monster (talk) 16:52, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Not enough notability for own article. His big accomplishment in article header wasn't entirely his own doing and is cited with a primary source. Google search turned up multiple doctors with the same name, aside from mundane match reports. Fails WP:GNG. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  17:13, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Some sources confirm that this personality meets Wikipedia standards--IamIRAQI (talk) 23:05, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Assuming you mean the ones already in the article, the first mentions Millner only once, among a cattle call of other referees at the end. The second is a puff piece that is now a broken link redirecting to a paywall, and the third is a match report in which he's not even mentioned. It's nowhere near enough in terms of notability.  sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  02:33, 5 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete I held off voting until now because I was hoping someone would produce the coverage necessary to meet WP:GNG. Since nothing has changed since my earlier comment, I'm voting to delete this article. Papaursa (talk) 19:44, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
