Phil McGuinness

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NAFL and most likely fails WP:GNG, no references in article to establish notability and cannot find any other sources about him. Flickerd (talk) 10:54, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for the moment, but open to changing my mind if sources can be provided. 200 games in the SANFL, even if they were all when it was a second-level competition, is a reasonable achievement and he could meet WP:NAFL criterion #3 if significant coverage in independent reliable sources can be demonstrated. I had a look but couldn't find anything easily myself. Someone might need access to the Adelaide Advertiser archives of the 1990s to really be sure – if someone can find a couple of decent length articles there primarily about McGuinness then I would be willing to change to keep.

 * Keep >200 games, Premierships & a B&F indicates a significant career in the second level state league, 2 articles listed indicates GNG is likely, especially given how poorly the 1990s are covered online. The-Pope (talk) 13:04, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Coment I was able to find a couple of early 2000s articles on Factiva and EBSCOhost that deal primarily with him. I suspect that if someone was to visit the newspaper archive at the State Library in Adelaide, they would find be able to find some coverage of his earlier career.
