Andy Jones (footballer, born 1986)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Only claim to notability is from technically passing WP:NFOOTBALL for playing 8 minutes of professional football for Mansfield - cut short due to getting two very quick yellow cards. As interesting as this is, I only found routine coverage of his debut and almost nothing on his subsequent non-league career. I could find no evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG. Almost a carbon copy of Wayne Stark who also made just one appearance for the same club. Spiderone 21:58, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Not notable in the large-scale encyclopaedic context: he would fit on a specialist Fandom site but not here.  (Should note that I cannot find an "Andy Stuart Jones" - it has never been common as a given name in its own right - on Find My Past for 1986 but can find an "Andrew Stuart M Jones" born in Mansfield who I assume is him.  Not that that matters because the lack of notability surely will be obvious.)  RobinCarmody (talk) 23:54, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. There are more Mansfield player articles like Stark and this. I declined to nominate those who had at least featured for another club. But they don't really warrant an encyclopedia entry. Geschichte (talk) 07:33, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - agree that failing GNG comprehensively is more important than scraping by on NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:26, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable for an article.--Blurz (talk) 01:11, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep It's better to have a complete set of articles here for WP:NFOOTBALL than maintain a complete set on another site and a separate incomplete set here. Subject-specific guidelines are more important than WP:GNG as a reason to delete an article, there's no reason to say they shouldn't be as a reason to keep an article.
