 * Keep - clearly notable. Over 350 appearances in English professional football, caps for St Kitts at International level, and the coverage to support it, see also this and this and this as well as stuff above. Everything I have found is from a very quick Google search. Nominator has not even tried. GiantSnowman 21:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * How do you know I didn't try, like lol? Can you prove it? This is pretty rich coming from someone who also copies and pastes the same comment on almost every AFD, asking to be pinged if there are sources found. That implies YOU also have no tried. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 16:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * That is not a normal response (which would have been 'sorry, I couldn't find the sources in my search, happy to withdraw'); that is the response of somebody who didn't do any search whatsoever. If I see it again I'll seek a topic ban for you from AFDs. GiantSnowman 20:34, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Snow keep This player with this amount of games will clearly be notable. If you're completely unable to do any form of WP:BEFORE, article improvement, don't bother nomination articles like this for AfD. You're just wasting everyones time here. Govvy (talk) 10:26, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * How do you know I didn't do WP:BEFORE? Can you prove it? Absolutely not, so please stop wasting people's time with your comments. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 16:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - More sources were provided above and I'm sure more was out there. He played hundreds of games in pro leagues and won Team of the Year honors.KatoKungLee (talk) 15:35, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I feel that he passes WP:GNG with some of the above sources found by BeanieFan11 and GiantSnowman. I've added several of those sources to the article. Alvaldi (talk) 09:37, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep passes GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 06:41, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - the newspapers.com coverage alone is sufficient for GNG Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:51, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
