Footballer who fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. Despite the number of references, almost all of them are trivial transfer updates. First Afd closed as no consensus due to incorrectly applied Mass AfD nom. -- BlameRuiner (talk) 12:09, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 12:46, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sources already in the article pass the standards of WP:GNG. --Jayron 32 13:03, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Not really seeing the claims of GNG in the article sources, they're mainly routine transfer reporting and match reports, but needs more time fo develop stronger consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 17:53, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sources in the article are sufficient to establish WP:GNG. Smartyllama (talk) 21:44, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: it seems many people just look at the number of references rather then actually read them. There are 16 references: 7 trivial match reports (player only mentioned once in passing), 5 transfer rumor pieces, 2 sources that don't mention player at all, 1 youth national team trivial mention, 1 dead link. Now please explain how does this help him pass GNG. --BlameRuiner (talk) 22:17, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with BlameRuiner's source analysis. I'm not seeing GNG sources. – Levivich 04:24, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
