Definitely doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL as he has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL nor has he represented Northern Ireland at senior level. In terms of WP:GNG, none of the sources cited show anything close to significant coverage. I did find another BBC article with Callaghan mentioned but, again, it has barely any coverage. Coverage at youth level such as this also fails to address him in detail. Narrowing searches of his name down in ProQuest by including Lisburn in the search does gain a few hits but they all seem to just be passing mentions in match reports and squad lists rather than detailed coverage that we can build a biography from. If he does, indeed, have significant coverage and this can be evidenced, I will happily withdraw.

Please note that most hits that amount to decent coverage will actually be about Aaron Callaghan (footballer, born 1966) instead of the Callaghan subject to this AfD. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 19:37, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable in the global context. Northern Ireland may be an Anglophone area, but its domestic league is a backwater in footballing terms (which is obviously not to insult those who follow it and love it) and should not be given priority over more notable leagues which do not benefit from Wikipedia's Anglosphere bias.

Delete - Has not played at a high enough level or achieved a significant level of coverage to merit an article as far as I can see. Dunarc (talk) 23:35, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
