Mark Draycott
AfDs for this article:


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

Article about former non-league/semi-pro footballer who made a handful of appearances in the US third division, and which fails WP:GNG. THe online coverage of Draycott is mostly routine/trivial stuff like match reports and signing announcements, or lacks independence (e.g., pieces from the FA or National Football League). The best coverage I could find is from local paper Ventura County Star, but even that is highly promotional and leans heavily on an interview with the subject. There is nothing else that approaches WP:SIGCOV. There was a previous AfD in 2009, which was withdrawn by the nominator long before WP:NSPORTS2022 deprecated NFOOTBALL.

 * Weak delete He certainly had a career, I am not sure how notable being the top scorer for the Youth FA Cup actually is, it's not even sourced in the article, don't know if that can be confirmed. However, I feel in agreement with the assessment, there are some hits there for him, but the notability is just too weak for me for what is needed to even pass WP:BASIC.

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 10:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
