Speedy keep There are alot of nominations for deletions for articles on rugby league footballers where there first name isn't known, I think they should all be nominated in the same AfD. ビッグツリ64 (talk) 21:54, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Block evasion Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 14:53, 28 December 2021 (UTC)- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Rugby league-related deletion discussions.

- Weak keep Subject did play in at least one representative team, higher than club level(?), even if most mentions are routine.[1] BTW the subject's first name is Rupert.[2] (and their family name is not Bruton). Aoziwe (talk) 10:45, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Aoziwe: Did you find anything on Burton that rises to the level of WP:SIGCOV? Cbl62 (talk) 14:23, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Cbl62. No. I suppose I might be being a bit generous, but the representative mention is a bit out of the ordinary and I think was a big deal at the time being post WWI. Sorry I should have provided the routine match reports too.[3] It is rather difficult trying to sort out who was who in the match reports because so often only the family name is used and sometimes an initial if you are lucky. Two teams might have persons with the same family name but initials might only be used if the two teams play each other, etc., so I have have tried to limit my assessments to be only when I am reasonably confident that I have got the person correct. It is very likely that all of "this batch" have more to be found, but only if you "know" what you are reading based on other sources (which given the time are essentially impossible to find on-line). However, I am also reasonably confident that unless I could see something non routine then everything else will also be routine. Aoziwe (talk) 10:24, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. I'll note that so far all !votes here, including the keep, argue this individual does not and is not expected to meet GNG, so... JoelleJay (talk) 02:16, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
