 * .--Ortizesp (talk) 19:42, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per new sources below. GiantSnowman 07:24, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep, significant coverage online, and the large amount transfer coverage goes beyond routine with lots of biographical content. Some significant coverage is articles like this, this, this, and this, with coverage in New Zealand as well as South Africa.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:42, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * First two non-independent, third is paywalled, fourth is decent but not enough on its own. GiantSnowman 20:41, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep -
 * ("Morgan was one of the better players at Maritzburg last season, helping his side avoid relegation. He is solid defensively and proved that he can also be a threat in terms of attack with decent set-piece-taking ability. Morgan was a first-team regular for Maritzburg United during his stay at the Team of Choice and so is familiar with the ins-and-outs of South African football"),
 * 
 * ("Morgan... playing either as left-back, centre back or left midfield... returned home to re-join Auckland City... Morgan has won both the domestic league and the Oceania Champions League")
 * ("He has enjoyed a solid 2 years in his time with the club. Dan Morgan offered both Eric Tinkler and currently Ernst Middendorp a lot of versatility... His educated left foot... The performances of Morgan seem to improve as time passes by. He is sure to continue being a valuable player for Maritzburg United. Off the pitch, Morgan enjoys a pretty simple life in Pietermaritzburg. Like many focussed footballers, his life is centralised around his job. He doesn’t seem to participate in many extra-curricular activities outside of the game")
 * ("he still featured in 25 out of 30 PSL games this term. 16 of them as a starter. Never scored for the club but did pop up with a few assists from left back"),
 * among many more sources. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * , Sources have already been reviewed, should be closed as keep. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:10, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources found in this discussion look enough to clear the GNG to me. Jenks24 (talk) 23:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails GNG. Sources found are atrocious. Niche Cache is a blog/podcast of unknown reliability. Goal.com has the specific coverage of Morgan that he is a midfielder and a New Zealander. Dougal18 (talk) 12:45, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * How are the sources atrocious... even taking those two sources you mentioned into account, the rest of the many sources all have secondary coverage... has ongoing career as well... Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 19:04, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
