PROD concern was Fails WP:NFOOTBALL, WP:NRU and WP:GNG.

This was removed without adequate explanation so taking it to AfD. He has never played at professional level in rugby union or football and has never received significant coverage from reliable sources. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A semi-professional rugby player so fails WP:NRU. A search bring up no coverage either so fails WP:GNG per nom. Looks like a hoax page as the only links are to a personal-Facebook page, a semi-pro player (of a different name anyway), and a statistics list of which he has no part in. Could potentially be SALTED. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:17, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with prejudice, zero indication of notability. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:08, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the opening sentence of the article already admits that the subject only plays semi-professionally so he obviously fails WP:NRU. Out of the three sources, one is from facebook, one doesn't mention him at all, and this one (see here) is the most promising but it talks about a rugby player named Ben Leung, not Ben Proctor. Are they the same person? I don't know, and that source by itself would probably not be enough to pass WP:GNG. Inter&anthro (talk) 02:46, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
