The subject, a Jamaican men's footballer, has not received enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. The Jamaica Star piece already in the article is the closest thing to WP:SIGCOV that I found, with about five sentences of independent coverage. JTtheOG (talk) 04:03, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think there's just enough coverage, see this and this and this and this. Young player with ongoing career. GiantSnowman 22:22, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Other than the aforementioned Star article, the given sources mention him a total of two times per article. JTtheOG (talk) 22:29, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Aside from Jamaica Star article, hits on Google shows up mentions in other news articles. Toadette ^{(Happy holiday!)} 10:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per @GiantSnowman. Svartner (talk) 17:32, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per above. Young player with ongoing international carer and sources. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 19:11, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails GNG, none of the above sources is WP:SIGCOV. Being young and having an ongoing career is not grounds for having an article. Alvaldi (talk) 17:06, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Right now, no consensus.

Delete: Jamaica Star has enough WP:SIGCOV, but of the remaining sources, 2 and 3 (in the article) are routine mentions, 4 is a YT interview, 5 is statistics from a single match, 6, 7, and 8 are not about the subject as team accomplishments. Bottom line, there isn't enough coverage now to support a BLP on this subject. Let'srun (talk) 17:45, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agreed with Alvaldi that none of the sources above approach SIGCOV. The Star/Jamaica Gleaner interview coverage of Ming is almost entirely from his perspective, even when not in direct quotes, e.g. Kyle Ming is fully aware ... Ming, the Cavalier defensive backbone, is confident .... Nowhere close to SIGCOV.

Delete coverage provided by GiantSnowman appears to fall slightly short of GNG. The Jamaica Star source is acceptable as it includes significant non-interview content, but that alone is not enough, the rest are routine announcements and/or match reports. As a young player with an ongoing career, it is possible he could become notable in the not too distant future; I would support a move to draft space as well.
