Kai Rooney

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I believe that the subject fails WP:GNG (another case of WP:TOOEARLY). Let's just take a step back here. Are we being serious? Why is a 14 year old playing in an academy getting a Wikipedia article? There is nothing to suggest this kid will be a professional one day. He's just Wayne Rooney's kid playing for Man United's academy. There is no article about Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., although there is arguably more coverage there. Are we gonna make articles for all football-playing sons of famous footballers? I think we need to really take a step back and think before we make such articles way too early. Short: I don't think Kai Rooney is notable. I wouldn't be against either merging this to Wayne Rooney or just draftifying and seeing how the next few years go (with someone upkeeping the draft as time passes).

 * Comment - this article was created by the same user who created Cristiano Ronaldo Jr — see Articles for deletion/Cristiano Ronaldo Jr as this may be a very similar situation. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Wayne Rooney. In addition to too early and GNG, this is also a clear case of WP:NOTINHERITED. 💥Casualty • Hop along. •  23:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, or redirect to Wayne Rooney - My personal view on articles on minors is that they need to be held to a higher standard than other BLPs, since a Wikipedia article has the potential to irrevocably destroy the subject's private life. Another thing weighing against this is that, even when there were top-level-game appearance criteria in WP:NSPORT, U## leagues (read: leagues specifically for minors) were never considered acceptable. I'm not impressed with the sourcing here, as it seems to be entirely routine stuff only being amplified because of his parents' notoriety. —Jéské Couriano v^&lowbar;^v  threads critiques 23:49, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, or redirect to Wayne Rooney—I personally think these types of articles are useless. I also agree with Jéské Couriano above. Anwegmann (talk) 02:21, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Wayne Rooney as we did with previous similar AfD cases, such as Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. History is preserved if Kai Rooney gets media attention as he grows up. If this AfD resulted in redirect, I also would recommend to protect the redirect page to prevent future creation. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ   Clara A. Djalim   ໒꒱˚｡⋆  12:23, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
