Fails WP:SPORTBASIC. The article may look superficially adequate, but the references are mostly player profiles and database entries with WP:SYNTH to generate prose. There is no evidence the player has been covered by reliable, secondary sources to such an extent that notability can be demonstrated. This was the opinion reached in the May AfD and I can't see an improvement. The Scotsman source is the only one that isn't a database-like entry, yet is just direct quotation from the subject.

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. Scotsman not enough on its own. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 17:57, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC as the coverage from reliable sources is completely trivial and does not address Duthie in any real depth Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:56, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
