Does not appear to meet WP:GNG (which superseeds WP:NFOOTY) and being Hull City's youngest ever player does not make him notable per WP:BLP1E. Almost orphaned as the only article which links here is List of Hull City A.F.C. records and statistics. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 13:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep seems to pass WP:GNG with articles such as [1] and made multiple appearances. I also don't have a good source for mid-90s newspapers but there is a clip in that article. SportingFlyer T·C 14:25, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - definitely meets NFOOTBALL, likely meets GNG. Giant Snowman 18:50, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A one-event journeyman. It is rampant WP:BIAS to have articles like this on such a scale. We are not supposed to be Anglospherepedia. RobinCarmody (talk) 22:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I couldn't find anything to add to the Hull Daily Mail article, which has very good coverage. Since Edeson passes WP:NFOOTBALL, I'm leaning keep here. I think we should only delete in these cases if the subject completely and utterly fails WP:GNG but that isn't the case here. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:31, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets NFOOTY and I assume we could find another source for GNG if we looked for contemporary coverage. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 22:10, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He passes WP:NFOOTBALL and the Hull Daily Mail article surely provides him enough coverage to pass WP:GNG too. Grailcombs (talk) 17:03, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
