I am unable to find enough coverage of the subject, a South African rugby union player, to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTCRIT. The most I found were a handful of sentences here. JTtheOG (talk) 17:36, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There's this, this and this found in a simple search. Enough for a GNG pass I think. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:20, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The first two sources are ok, but are from the same day and about the same topic, while the third source has 3-ish IRS sentences and so is pretty far from being the sustained SIGCOV expected for N. Can you find more sources? JoelleJay (talk) 16:17, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Not enough coverage for a comprehensive independent biography IMO. JoelleJay (talk) 01:05, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete The article, while impressive in length, is based entirely on primary sources. The three sources provided by Rugbyfan22 are helpful, but not quite enough. The HeraldLive source in particular is just an interview. I am willing to reconsider if another source can be found, but I couldn't find one. Toadspike [Talk] 10:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
