Passes WP:NFOOTY from one appearance for Wycombe but recent consensus at AfD has placed more importance on WP:GNG in these cases. Aside from one source, I can't see anything else giving him significant coverage. Please see here for consensus that these articles should be deleted. Spiderone 19:57, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets NFOOTBALL, there's coverage out there, had a significant non-league career (played for Dunstable Town, Hitchin Town, Arlesey Town, Hendon, Aylesbury United, Slough Town, Yeading, Wingate & Finchley, Hemel Hempstead Town, Berkhamsted Town, Northwood, Boreham Wood, Chesham United) - searching his name and those clubs brings back more and more coverage.

Delete Unless the page reflects what GiantSnowman said, and I really don't consider that career notable really. I am more inclined to say delete for the article failing GNG. There also appears to be a boxer with the same name, don't know if it's the same person. Unless the article was improved I am still going to say delete.

- Definitely not the same guy per BoxRec -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:27, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article needing improvement is not a reason for deletion. Giant Snowman 21:51, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - He definitely has played for a lot of clubs but the coverage is bordering on routine [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. This one is probably the best but it's still quite weak. Spiderone 14:46, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Appears to fail WP:GNG. I agree that the Bucks Free Press article could be in-depth coverage (it BFP a regional newspaper that could qualify under GNG?), but there needs to be more, and everything else looks routine. Jogurney (talk) 04:25, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
