No evidence that Freeland passes WP:GNG; nothing presented in the article, nothing found in my searches except this Daily Record article. According to his World Referee page, he has only officiated qualifiers, youth matches and two first round UEFA Cup games outside of domestic level, which might explain the lack of coverage. Being the fourth official in a Scottish Cup final doesn't make him automatically notable either. A Google Books search only came back with trivial, incidental coverage.

Delete This is a very easy call. This article does not meet notability guidelines and fails even the minimum standards for Wikipedia-quality biographies. Go4thProsper (talk) 02:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
