Appears to fail WP:GNG. Does not appear to have garnered any WP:SIGCOV during his career as a referee. Outside of that, he was President of Referees in England for a short while as evidenced by the source in the article. He also appears to be mentioned here. I'm not convinced that this is enough.

PROD contested but no reason provided. The concern was failing WP:GNG. Spiderone 11:51, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

 * There are a secondary source placed, what must be other in there??? must we convince you for create articles???Almgerdeu (talk) 12:16, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * As per GNG If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. I'll be honest, a very large number of the other articles that you have created don't look to meet GNG either. I have simply tagged them as a GNG concern for now rather than putting a PROD on them. I would strongly recommend you read Articles for creation and Drafts. It might be good to build some articles in the draft space and gather those reliable secondary sources before putting the article in the mainspace to avoid people questioning their notability.

 * Delete - referees who officiate at a high level are not automatically notable, and there is no significant coverage meaning GNG is not met. GiantSnowman 16:13, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I did a relatively simple before search and could not find anything apart from directories, though I'd be happy to change my !vote if other coverage is found. SportingFlyer  T · C  16:55, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - there are more more articles about referees in wikipedia as you said (as this article)...so why only this article must delete??? but i want to create more articles abut referees (i want left more more red links)Almgerdeu (talk) 15:56, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete doesn't pass WP:GNG, referees aren't inherently notable. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:46, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
