 * Thanks for this, but I wasn't quite convinced to withdraw the AfD as I feel that most of these have insufficent depth of coverage to count towards meeting GNG, so failing the "multiple sources" requirement. 1 appears to be a blog - is there a reason to accept it as a suitable source? 2 is just comments after a match and the player saying he had been injured for two months. 3 is closer to meeting the criteria for supporting GNG but not quite there, IMO. 4 is fairly routine post-match coverage. 5 just reprints comments made in an interview. 6 is passing coverage. 7 does contribute to meeting GNG, IMO. 8 is very brief.

 * @BennyOnTheLoose, I would consider #7 to be routine transactional coverage (signings, departures, injuries, etc.) which does not contribute to GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 20:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Draftify, perhaps? I feel like it would be a good compromise, as we could work more freely to rate 's sources and expand the article. By the way, I've just added the infobox and a few more basic details, so the page isn't reduced to a bare couple of sentences, anymore. Oltrepier (talk) 10:56, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
