Footballer who fails GNG and NFOOTY. Recreated after AFD, speedy deletion contested as the sources were apparently newer ones. But all of them are simple transfer updates, no significant coverage. BlameRuiner (talk) 08:58, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lacks significant coverage 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 06:20, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - looking through the sources already in the article, it not only meets WP:SPORTCRIT but also meets GNG. These aren't all simple references. Nothing wrong with significant reporting about transfers; if they weren't notable, it wouldn't be covered, or would only be a mention. Nfitz (talk) 21:46, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - was already deleted once for failing GNG and NFOOTY, and still has not satisfied either. We are now into time sink territory. Atsme 💬 📧 21:00, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No SIGCOV. No need to keep posting a non-notable article. Megtetg34 (talk) 06:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. SIGCOV totally lacking. Quotes from the subject or people affiliated with him are completely non-independent and cannot be considered for GNG, which leaves very, very little actual commentary on him. Most of the transfer news articles are just slightly reworded versions of press releases from his team, so those are not independent anyway.
