 * Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:34, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 13:40, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – According to this source, he has played in the Ghana Premier League which according to WP:NFOOTBALL is a notable league. I'm adding this source in the article.
 * Weak Delete - The source above seems to show that the player has made at least one appearance in a fully professional league. However, there are still WP:GNG issues here. Normally, I would not call these into question, but I am concerned that if the photo in the source noted above shows the players, as I suspect, preparing for the game, then I am far from convinced that they are at a grounds with sufficient facilities / attendance to indicate a genuinely FPL throughout.

 * Weak Keep – The source naming Lawson as a player on the pitch is a blurb by the opposing team (Medeama SC), but it doesn't appear to include lineups (I know, not required) and there is little substance. Still, this was a Ghana Premier League match, and appearing in a match within an FPL meets NFOOTY. There is little other independent coverage of Lawson that I can find. This article needs a lot of improvement. If this article is deleted, it will likely be eligible for recreation if he plays for IFK Göteborg since coverage will likely be more in depth. — Jkudlick t c s 08:16, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as he hasn't played in a fully professional league and he doesn't have any senior international caps. IJA (talk) 12:37, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL as he hasn't played any professional match yet. No international caps as well.  ƬheStrike  Σagle   13:52, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete lacks sufficient references from reliable sources to support notability.  B E C K Y S A Y L E S  09:53, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
