Alfie Lewis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PROD removed but no reason given. I can only presume that draftifying would be challenged as well.

Rationale was ''Lacks significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject (so excluding St Pat's and West Ham's own websites and social media feeds and excluding routine transfer news and match reporting), failing WP:GNG. Has never played in a game between two clubs playing in a league listed at WP:FPL, failing WP:NFOOTBALL also.''

I couldn't find any significant coverage from sources independent of Lewis in a WP:BEFORE search so I can't see any reason why the PROD rationale would be incorrect at all. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:48, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Please note that Soccerway has only youth team appearances for West Ham, one game as an unused substitute in the Premier League and then 14 mins in the semi-pro League of Ireland. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:51, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Draftify or delete Not sure I have an opinion on which one to do, but this is WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer  T · C  23:02, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Draft I saw a few hits on google, mainly routine stuff. I don't mind sending the article to draft space as every so often you can get players that play in the Irish league to pass GNG. He is still on the books at West Ham, so could also be loaned out to a pro league club. So I lean more towards draft'ing. Govvy (talk) 07:07, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 10:21, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom, fails GNG and NFOOTBALL CommanderWaterford (talk) 11:08, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Draft/Keep I agree with Govvy. The player signed a professional contract four years ago with a Premier League side and has featured 12 times in the EFL Trophy across 4 seasons - a competition where he has faced mainly League One and League Two clubs who feature mostly fellow professional footballers. League of Ireland may not be fully professional but teams from this league can reach the Europa League and sometimes Champions League - some of the most prestigious competitions in club football. I've now added some independent sources to the article. I believe the article should be kept, at the very least drafted. User talk:Kieran167 15:48, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - his career may come to something but at the moment all coverage is routine and his appearances are at youth level or in a non-pro league.--Egghead06 (talk) 16:30, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
