John Borg

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PROD by another user was Footballer with only 1 pro game is not Wikipedia-eligible per Articles_for_deletion/Wayne_Stark et al

Contested with No evicence of WP:BEFORE, when meeting WP:NFOOTBALL it's better to put it on afd

With regards to WP:GNG, I found this trivial mention, this mention in Bury Times, name check in Lancashire Telegraph and this brief quote in Bolton News. Since all coverage has just been name checks, I would argue that he does not pass GNG.

It was suggested that this person might be the same, however, it does not seem plausible as that John Borg is Maltese. He also looks older than 27 in that picture. It's possible that that John Borg might be notable enough for an article but I'm not certain. Spiderone 18:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - they are clearly not the same man, the article about the Borg associated with Malta contains a direct quote from him saying he was born in Australia, whereas the one being debated was born in Salford -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:29, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this is a total and complete failure of GNG with such passing mentions. The above process of confusing this Borg with another one is the first step to building the Frankenstein's monster article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:01, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, would be Wikipedia-eligible 5 years ago, but not now when players with 1 pro game are commonly deleted. Geschichte (talk) 20:37, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - there is clear consensus now that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with 1 appearance is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively. GiantSnowman 22:04, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - although he *may* pass WP:NFOOTY the lack of decent sourcing precludes a Wikipedia article. Eagleash (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
