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) 15:25, 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) 15:48, 15 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 21:23, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not meet GNG. If the consensus is that "scapping by on NFOOTBALL with a handful of appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed" maybe it is time that we recalibrate NFOOTBALL in a way that better reflects actual likelihood of passing GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The key word in GiantSnowman's point is consensus. I suggest you read WP:CONSENSUS, Lambert. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also that is exactly what we are doing right now, trying to write updated guidelines for footballers... Which makes Johnpacklambert's comment completely pointless. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:15, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Only passing mentions such as this and this does not satisfy WP:SIGCOV, in my opinion. As such, there isn't enough to warrant a stand alone article. GauchoDude (talk) 13:36, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 1999–2000 Chester City F.C. season per WP:PRESERVE, etc. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
