Drew Russell

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

PROD Does not meet criteria in WP:SPORTBASIC. Simply a player. was declined removing deletion request as has played loads of professional games so meets football player notability. As we know from the metric ton of sports AfDs, that's no longer a notability criteria and I am unable to identify coverage that would meet GNG requirements. Just some game reports. Note when searching, it does not appear the sports exec is the same Drew Russsell. With appearances for multiple teams, there isn't a clear AtD target either.

 * This appears to be SIGCOV. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:40, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete – There just aint no "significant" coverage that shows Russell having "success in a major international competition at the highest level". – S. Rich (talk) 18:00, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Where does it say someone has to have "success in a major international competition at the highest level" to be notable? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:04, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * "Success" supports notability – if it's there. But we have no indication of success at any level. – S. Rich (talk) 16:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete there is clearly not enough coverage here to meet GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:27, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - The only in-depth coverage I could find was from the The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) (the link is now included in the article), which is partly an interview and seems to be very local coverage (it's his home town's local newspaper). In order to pass WP:GNG we would certainly need something else, but all I can find are statistics database entries, match reports, transfer announcements and youth coaching advertisements (nothing that would be SIGCOV).
