Article fails WP:GNG. Simione001 (talk) 03:44, 26 September 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: I closed this discussion as Draftify but found that Draft:Franco Lino exists already. Should that draft be deleted in favor of this article? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:45, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep and develop. I have reset the article classification to stub because it is at a very early stage of development, as would be expected for an 18-year-old player. I think the topic meets the notability guidelines, perhaps marginally so, and all that is needed is for the article to be developed. I know there is a WP:TOOSOON guideline which would apply if Franco was still a reserve player only, but he has made his professional debut. It is surely "too soon" to delete because, if Franco's career takes off, the article will have to be recreated and that would mean time has been wasted.

 * His career may take off is not a good enough argument to keep. WP:TOOSOON applies. TarnishedPathtalk 10:57, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete A search indicates that the subject fails WP:SPORTBASIC. This was created WP:TOOSOON. TarnishedPathtalk 10:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Drafify - not currently notable, but might be in future. GiantSnowman 19:06, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Drafify per above.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:49, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with TarnishedPath that fails WP:SPORTBASIC. 'Draftify' is a good option, but my understanding is that the policy is not yet approved?? Spinifex&#38;Sand (talk) 02:36, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: I tried to Merge this article and the draft version and even though the edit history didn't overlap, the system wouldn't allow me to complete a Merge. Perhaps it's because they were in different namespaces. Maybe someone could ping an admin who is more technically adept at merging page histories and they could take a stab at this process. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 03:23, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Draft and Delete The draft is very similar to the article being discussed here, but not identical. I think the best option is to combine the two in draft form, as it may be WP:TOOSOON to be in mainspace. JML1148 ( talk &#124; contribs ) 07:49, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

 * see above. I suspect the draft first needs to be histmerged into the mainspace article and then moved ot of mainspace without leaving a redirect. Could you take a look when you have a chance? Jenks24 (talk) 09:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * All done. I have no position on what should happen to this page though. Graham87 (talk) 12:02, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks Graham. histmerge has been done so you should be fine to close as drafity now if you want and move it to Draft:Franco Lino. Jenks24 (talk) 13:34, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
