 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Fails WP:RLN and WP:GNG. J Mo 101 (talk) 18:05, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:GNG. Several independent and reliable sources describe his activities at Huddersfield Giants, adding up to quite a significant amount of cover. Here are some online examples:, , , , from the result pages of this search. Speccy4Eyes (talk) 20:34, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * That's all routine coverage and so fails GNG. A subject needs significant coverage where they are actually the subject of the article (not mentioned in passing). I see he was called into a Super League squad, is there any news sources out there reporting that he has actually played for Huddersfield's first-grade team yet? Because if there is then he'll meet WP:RLN (although the article may still be deleted, because WP:RLN is about assumed notability, and GNG actually establishes it). -- Shudde  talk 02:24, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete -- Speccy4Eyes has not been able to help me here, and I can't find anything to warrant including this biography under WP:GNG or WP:RLN. May well change in the future, so this could easily be a case of WP:TOOSOON. But at the moment nothing in policy to warrant a keep vote. -- Shudde  talk 08:46, 5 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Shudde, I am sorry, I didn't realise that you were waiting for me to respond. Johnson was the captain of the England youth team. and has a page dedicated to him on the Giants website here. He has received significanrt coverage, including being the subject, or one of the main subjects, of many media articles. Please see these:, , , , . I hope, after seeing these, that you will reconsider your verdict. Speccy4Eyes (talk) 20:01, 7 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - as per the rationale explained by Shudde above. Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, but time will tell on that.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:56, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
