 * Delete - what a clusterfuck of an AFD journey. In the middle of the first discussion the nominator decided to try and change the notability parameters, and the second discussion was a wholly inapproproriate bundle which was procedurally kept. Rant over. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and no evidence (despite all the time at AFD for sources to be found) that WP:GNG can or will be met. GiantSnowman 08:39, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per GS. Trill, haven't you heard of A Boy Named Sue? Leviv&thinsp;<span style="display:inline-block;position:relative;transform:rotate(45deg);bottom:-.57em;">ich 03:25, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails GNG. It always failed NFOOTY (as FPL is not part of NFOOTY, but merely a separate essay) - however NFOOTY is of little consequence for a very modern player in an English speaking country (in an era with online sources in English available) for which the rule of thumb imputed by NSPORTS-NFOOTY can be simply checked vs. available sources (contrast this with Articles for deletion/Josep Raich - a Spanish player in the 30s and 40s for which NFOOTY carries weight, as sourcing for this period in Spain can get tricky). Regardless - it is rather evident that coverage for this individual does not rise up to SIGCOV., - as for Ashleigh and Sue - you ought to be careful not to mix up British and American practices - as you may see in Ashley (name) - in UK usage this is mainly male (and originally only male), harking back to at least Anthony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury. Stateside, it seems that bored housewives watching The Young and the Restless (Ashley Abbott) - made this into a very popular female name. So - longstanding, upright, British tradition vs. American soaps. (however, contrast Rhoticity in English where American speakers preserve the original pronunciation or gotten (vs. British got) where Americans revived the past use (which survived on the fringes in the States before being revived) -  - however British purists may devolve into "backwater colonial mannerism" or some such discourse).

 * I understand the cultural differences, (also, apparently Brooklyn is much more popular for British boys than girls) but this spelling has a particularly feminine look so it gave me a double take. It’d be like, a guy named Jordyn or Kacie. Trillfendi (talk) 23:59, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete I said at the first AfD discussion that he didn't meet WP:NFOOTY or WP:GNG. A month later nothing has changed. Papaursa (talk) 23:03, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Low level, modern-era, minor league soccer player, who played professionally in a country where the sport is not popular. Fails WP:NFOOTY, WP:GNG, and WP:BASIC. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:46, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
