The result was delete and redirect to List of Gillingham F.C. players (1–24 appearances). Consensus is certainly not to keep, closing as redirect seems to me to be the best outcome which ultimately removes the standalone article but recognises the player's name as a plausible search term.

Fails WP:NFOOTY due to playing in an era before the English Football League was "fully professional". More importantly fails WP:GNG due to complete lack of WP:SIGCOV. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 20:01, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - playing in the Football League confers notability per WP:NFOOTBALL. Article needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 16:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per my comments at Austin Dunne above. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:54, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, if he really only played 1 game it is not enough to meet WP:GNG and the spirit of WP:NFOOTBALL, per countless other AFDs. This is regardless of the year he played in. However, the incoming link which is a list is also a possible redirect target. Geschichte (talk)
 * Delete of he only played one game.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:48, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to List of Gillingham F.C. players (1–24 appearances) as that seems to be the only claim to notability Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:01, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per failing WP:GNG. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:27, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment if the outcome is not a keep, then redirect to 1929–30 Gillingham F.C. season, the season when he played -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:42, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
