The result was delete. Sources presented to support GNG are either routine hiring / firing reports or are actually the person discussion the club he manages rather than a third party discussing the manager. Nothing has been presented to suggest he has received significant coverage in a number of third party sources per GNG. Fenix down (talk) 00:28, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

John Gill (football manager)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NFOOTY, having not played or managed in a fully professional league, or played international football. No indication of significant coverage to otherwise satisfy WP:GNG. Jellyman (talk) 21:27, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - Dundalk F.C. certainly a pro club, Dublin City F.C. in 2003–2004 potentially also professional as won LoI 1st Div twice in those years, Drogheda United also a fully pro club, St Pats big club in the country; overall probably enough to satisfy WP:GNG and through the backdoor WP:NFOOTY Abcmaxx (talk) 00:17, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Delete - the League of Ireland is not a WP:FPL, so he fails WP:NFOOTY (fully professional clubs in a semi-professional league still do not meet NFOOTY). He should have coverage somewhere, whether in print or online, from a more than 30-year career in Ireland, but I wasn't able to find any WP:SIGCOV. Unless someone can find the coverage to change my !vote, I've got to go delete. 21.colinthompson (talk) 01:29, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. interpretation of NFOOTBALL is just wrong. The LOI is not a fully-pro league. GiantSnowman 09:03, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep managed Dundalk, one of the most important teams in the country. Coverage is thorough but more on the routine side but still has made national Irish news, coverage on him specifically like so:   I think there's enough here to keep and heartily disagree with any "fails WP:NFOOTY" !votes - Gill has to be analysed on WP:GNG grounds.

 * Delete Fails WP:NFOOTY and coverage seems to be typical routine sports reporting. Papaursa (talk) 19:11, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
