Non-notable player, even by the somewhat more lax standards of the old WP:NSPORT (and definitely not by the new). Not seeing any significant coverage other than a few things about his vitamin company. Primefac (talk) 11:46, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There seems to be GNG coverage of his business career here, and there is some sourcing that would likely pass GNG on his rugby career as well. Article obviously needs improving, and perhaps should be more evenly split to his business side now, but I think there's enough out there. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete did he even actually play a game for Sale? I can't see any evidence he did.Skeene88 (talk) 15:04, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
According to his profile via wayback machine, he made 15 appearances in the 09/10 season

Weak Delete. Can't really find much about his career due to early retirement. Played for Scotland U20 and under two dozen matches for Sale. Not sure if his vitamin business is enough for significance, but article badly needs updating if it stays. RodneyParadeWanderer (talk) 21:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per nom. BLP, bails GNG and BIO. Sources in the article are stats, a routine sports news about contract signing, and an interview, nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Keep vote above found no sources during their BEFORE so there is nothing else to eval. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 18:47, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
