The result was delete. Given the only keep vote also admits to not being able to find anything substantial, this s pretty open and shut. Fenix down (talk) 21:56, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG (which superseeds WP:NFOOTY). A player who happens to have played three times for a Football League team is not inherently notable and there is no evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 12:00, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL; there are plenty of sources out there, though none that I can see from a very quick Google search that would class as "significant", but I have concerns about nominator failing to WP:BEFORE. GiantSnowman 20:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I accept I could have tried to improve the article but I didn't see the point if the subject is not notable. I know there are sources on and offline that this guy existed and played in the Football League and he may well have been mentioned in the local press at the time but all of those sources only indicate that he played in three football games. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, that's why we have GNG. Including *every* footballer who played in three football matches and did *nothing* else is not for Wikipedia. NFOOTBALL is only a soft rule which presumes there will be other sources to establish a footballer's notability over and above the standard statistical sites but not every one/two/three appearance wonder does generate significant coverage. Most of them don't. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 20:58, 9 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - including cup games, he's played about 150 mins of football. So, about a game and a half in total match time. A ProQuest search yields nothing more than a couple of name checks in match reports. Searching Google News, Images and Books, I can only get hits about BMX, nothing to do with this footballer. Nothing decent in a newspaper search either. It's possible that there is some coverage about him but I haven't uncovered any. If anything significant is found, please let me know and I'll happily reconsider. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:23, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
