Article about semi-professional footballer which doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. I cannot find any SIGCOV online - just trivial coverage like match reports and database entries or a quick profile like this. Jogurney (talk) 15:36, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technically he was a pro as the 1999–2000 Chester City F.C. season was in the third division (now EFL League Two), which is fully professional. Chester was relegated at the end of season 1999-2000. Lack of coverage and any other pro appearance would support deletion despite this.--Mvqr (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete That playing in the 3rd level division could be enough that every player in it is notable does not make sense. We need to find ways to only include the top level players in lower divisions, not every person who plays.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:00, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And how do you define a top level player in a lower division? No Great Shaker (talk) 10:55, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on 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. Alternatively redirect to 1999–2000 Chester City F.C. season as his sole claim to fame. Giant Snowman 21:24, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. One in a long line of non-notable stubs. I doubt he is even a plausible search term for more than about three people. RobinCarmody (talk) 00:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Same situation as the Kamu Laird AfD, subject doesn't seem to satisfy WP:SIGCOV with mentions like this and this. As such, does not warrant a stand alone article in my opinion. GauchoDude (talk) 13:46, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 1999–2000 Chester City F.C. season per WP:PRESERVE, etc. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:55, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
