Recreated some time after being deleted in 2007 at the first AfD, so ineligible for PROD. Gaelic football is distinct from association football and is therefore not governed by WP:NFOOTY. GF does not have its own SNG under WP:NSPORTS, so we have to rely on GNG, which the subject does not meet based on a search. Have been unable to verify if the subject meets the actual SNG for Gaelic football, WP:NGAELIC. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:32, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment. RE: "GF does not have its own SNG under WP:NSPORTS". Actually there is an established criteria under WP:NSPORT for Gaelic footballers. In WP:NGAELIC. Which suggests that Gaelic footballers who have played senior inter-county football (in the league or championship) may meet the notability criteria. I haven't investigating to see whether this player has played in either competition at the required level (yet). But it's not entirely accurate to say that NSPORT doesn't provide for Gaelic footballers... Guliolopez (talk) 12:22, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * you are correct and I apparently need my vision checked. I've struck that part of my argument. I haven't been able to verify whether he played at the SNG level; the only Gaelic Football stats site I could find was FinalWhistle, and that only shows 2021 for some reason: . I did find some coverage of him in the Irish Examiner, but it's fairly routine game/injury reporting so I'm not sure he hits GNG. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 01:27, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   11:49, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I have found and added a number of refs which appear to confirm that WP:NGAELIC is met (Gaelic footballer who has played at senior inter-county level [in league or championship]). A claim to notability under WP:GNG is weaker. As there are limited independent/biographical sources of which the subject is the primary topic. But there are a few/scant examples. Like this (RTÉ) or this (Irish Examiner) which are at least contributory. Guliolopez (talk) 13:21, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep - meets NGAELIC - and even the last AFD found that the subject themselves was notable, just the article needed sourcing (which does seem to violate WP:ATD - but the statue of limitations on that. Nfitz (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
