Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV. Sources such as this are trivial at best. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:18, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, United Kingdom,  and England. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:18, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I found these sources which show his notability in England: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12,I13, 14, and 15. In addition, he is a player who has made pro appearances for English second tier and third tier teams, a high level, with an ongoing career, and is mentioned in countless match reports and videos. I feel like the nominator specifically tries to delete only football articles en masse for no reason. I look at the other sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 30. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion.

 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 08:44, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources above which show notability (although not all are SIGCOV) - needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 08:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails GNG. Any coverage he has is due to being a binman playing against a top league team (WP:1E). We are not keeping articles based on Marine being fortunate to be drawn against Spurs and Barrigan having press attention for it. Das osmnezz must stop refbombing AFDs with unreliable sources and brief mentions of the subject. Dougal18 (talk) 12:24, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete the sources do not provide significant coverage of him and are thus not enough to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:11, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly shown to pass GNG, and arguments deprecating the sources are faulty.--Ortizesp (talk) 15:39, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes GNG. Simione001 (talk) 08:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, sources 2 and 3 cited above are sufficient to contribute to notability, but I must comment to User:Das osmnezz that the vast majority of the sources they cited are inadequate for notability purposes, and that they should keep WP:THREE in mind rather than attempting to bombard the discussion with a massive list of references.
