Richard North (darts player)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NSPORTS does not have any specific guidance for darts nor is there notability guidance at WP:DARTS so WP:GNG applies without any presumption of notability. I see no indication that this person passes WP:GNG. There are a few passing mentions on the web and he shows up on darts stats sites but that is not sufficient. Nor has he won any major tournaments from which he could derive notability. A single article discussing his debut is not sufficient. Jbh Talk  05:16, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: WP:SPORTCRIT suggests that a sports figure is likely to meet WP:BASIC if they have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level; which North, as a competitor at the 2018 PDC World Darts Championship, has. Furthermore, North has received coverage, both about him as an individual and as coverage of his performances in professional tournaments, including reaching the final of one tournament  and qualifying for a number of major tournaments  OZOO (t) (c) 11:22, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 03:10, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep though just barely enough. He's appeared in tournaments where all the participants are generally notable, and the coverage OZOO found is enough for me. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 04:11, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Refs identified by OZOO are OK, those in the article not. Szzuk (talk) 21:24, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
