Moved back into mainspace with the reason has played for the first team at Huddersfield, and might be about to at Dundee United but does not appear to meet any football guidelines or be otherwise notable yet. Has caromed back and forth between draft and main so bringing it here for discussion. Star  Mississippi  01:58, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Draftify - playing for Huddersfield is irrelevant, what matters is significant coverage. There is one decent piece but that's all I can find, so it's not enough for now. GiantSnowman 10:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - probably just enough coverage as shown below, but the Huddersfield Town sources do not count towards GNG. GiantSnowman 19:01, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep In my view there is just enough notability for a weak keep, cite 3 and 4 are not bad. There is some other sources online, but those are more tabloid, nevertheless the amount there gives me credence to want to keep the article. Playing in the FA Cup does give another point towards notability, to say it's irrelevant is just wrong. Notability is not just about the sources, it's also how the sources contribute to each other to build the picture. So many editors seem to forget to overall and focus on the bullet points.

 * Keep - Per Govvy. There are sources like, , ,   and  among other sources. Young player with ongoing career in fully pro Scottish top flight on loan from English second tier team who he has already played in the FA Cup for, both leagues that receive lots of media coverage.

 * Comment At the moment I would say this is borderline in terms of notability as he has only played on game at a fully professional level. Also his coverage in the media so far is relatively limited. This could change quickly if he starts to regularly appear in the Scottish top flight for Dundee United, although so far he has been an unused substitute. Dunarc (talk) 23:52, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep passes GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 07:15, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Weak keep. It would seem that there's just enough to establish notability, although it's not a strong case. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 16:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page looks alright, in fairness: I've seen a lot of articles involving young players (especially in the English leagues) get created as soon as they make their professional debuts, and then get left in the dust once those footballers fall off the radar back again... At least, this page looks decently sourced and organized, and the fact Ayina is currently playing at a good level (Scottish Premiership) should prove to be even more beneficial.
