Dougie Nyaupembe

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The player seemed to have real prospects when the article was created but things haven't worked out and I no longer think he has enough significance for an article. He only just scrapes by the existing NFOOTY. I'm the article creator. Best to delete. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:25, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Keep - meets WP:NFOOTY and - also meeting "Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure. This must be supported by evidence from a reliable source on a club by club basis for teams playing in leagues that are not recognised as being fully professional." having played in the English Football League a fully professional league.

 * In fact, when you created the article, No Great Shaker, in the edit summary you included as the reason "creating article – EFL appearance qualifies under notability terms"  Zanoni (talk) 07:17, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * When I created the article, NFOOTY had more authority and it did look as if Dougie had a promising league career ahead of him. Maybe he will still achieve his potential but, as things have gone, it's looking unlikely, which is a shame. He was badly let down by the situation at Bury. With hindsight, I think I created the article TOOSOON. Pity, but there it is. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:13, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with a handful of appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively, as is the case here. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 19:11, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not a hill I wish to die upon Giant Snowman but it is the inconsistency of this which amazes me. Will delete this one with one EFL League One appearance (and another EFL Trophy) appearance - but there are literally tons of articles on players who played in the FL post 1946 who get to stay, sometimes with a couple of lines on articles and same number of appearances. Whilst I am sure they had some press coverage of the small numbers of appearances these are lost to time but as they are mentioned in Hugman they get to stay?

 * Delete: A search did not provide the WP:SIGCOV required of a standalone article, in my opinion. I was only able to find passing and routine mentions, such as transfers and game reports, which I don't believe are enough to establish notability. GauchoDude (talk) 16:52, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Also called up to the Zimbabwe national team albeit not capped and there is press coverage about that Zanoni (talk) 19:27, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, clearly passes GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * So then where is it? GauchoDude (talk) 14:26, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete looks to fail WP:GNG, unless anyone can find substantial coverage. The sources in the text seem to be passing mentions, and transfer news, which don't demonstrate that he passes WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:59, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
