Fails WP:GNG. Only sources I could find are this and this. It could be argued that the second one offers significant coverage. However, with only one appearance at the professional level and no other online sources for a player who played only in the 90s and 2000s, GNG is failed for me. Note that I know I created the article, but I rather go through AfD for this. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:53, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per the nomination. The article fails WP:GNG and the references are stat sites. The first of the two that the nomination provides is one already on the article, and the second one is a bit of a biography but still isn't enough to be anything more than original research on the website's part. Oh, and by the way, bold move nominating your own article. IncompA 01:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
