With WP:NFOOTY now deprecated/removed/whatever you want to call it, I have been unable to find any indication that Lovett meets WP:GNG. The only sources I can find on any search appear to be Wikipedia mirrors. I don't contest the reliability of the book cited in the article, but a little coverage in one source isn't enough for a GNG pass.

Even the article makes a clear case for his lack of notability: after playing a single game at the highest level, he "left the club soon afterwards, and his whereabouts thereafter are untraced." Unfortunately although there is a List of Burnley F.C. players, it only includes those with 100+ appearances, so this article can't be merge/redirected there. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:54, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. There is no indication that Lovett gained any kind of notability for his appearance. Alvaldi (talk) 09:14, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable in the context of a global encyclopaedia. RobinCarmody (talk) 19:10, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on (the old) NFOOTBALL with a handful of appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively, as is the case here. If sources are found please ping me. Could be redirected to 1905–06 Burnley F.C. season but that page does not exist... Giant Snowman 19:39, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As written, subject does not have clear case for notability per WP:GNG. NiklausGerard (talk) 06:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nom. It doesn't appear as though the subject has a claim for notability and, in my opinion, lacks the WP:SIGCOV required for a standalone article. GauchoDude (talk) 13:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:GNG, and no relevant, appropriate redirect target looks to exist. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:59, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The title is not passing WP:GNG. Jeni Wolf (talk) 06:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
