Article about former footballer and police officer which comprehensively fails WP:GNG. Laborde's claims to fame appear to be his appearance in The Other Final and an award he received for his service in the RMPS. He is also the VP of the Montserrat Football Association, but all of the coverage of that role is incredibly superficial. There is simply no in-depth coverage in secondary, reliable sources.

Comment. Might be notable per WP:ANYBIO/1, but I agree that the lack of meaningful coverage is a problem. I don't know what the exact significance of the award is within the context of his service, so I will not express a judgement. Actualcpscm (talk) 14:57, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My read on that award was that it was for his years of service, not for some particular achievement. If that kind of award is enough for ANYBIO, then yikes hundreds of thousands of long-serving municipal workers will be eligible for articles. Jogurney (talk) 15:16, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per ANYBIO.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:40, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, obviously generic service awards given to hundreds of thousands of people do not qualify for ANYBIO. GNG is not met either. JoelleJay (talk) 20:49, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: BLP, fails BIO and GNG. Sources in article are brief mentions, BEFORE showed stats, mentions, but nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 01:51, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
