 * Keep - meets WP:GNG based on the sources in the article, including two separate full-length articles about him from the Daily Record (a national newspaper) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:28, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - as pointed out by Chris, this article already passes GNG from the sources provided in the article itself; I count at least 4 reliable sources providing extensive coverage Spiderone  12:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. He may not meet the thematic criteria, but meets WP:GNG, given the existence of multiple sources with extensive coverage. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 13:51, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - a player cannot fail FPL; a player can fail WP:NFOOTBALL which refers to FPL. Anyway, as noted above, GNg is met, which is more important. GiantSnowman 16:58, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - He has been the subject of significant coverage, not least due to the young age in which he made his senior debut and the interest he attracted from significant clubs when he was a teenager. Even playing at junior level he has still attracted a fair level of coverage. So to my mind he passes general notability criteria. Dunarc (talk) 23:59, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
