Contested Prod with no reasons given. Initial concerns still remain. Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 11:37, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

- Weak keep I didn't give a reason because it was a BLPPROD - all that is needed for removal is to supply a source, which I did. He may not play in a fully professional league but Shamrock Rovers F.C. are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the League of Ireland and there was a fair amount of coverage from the Irish papers when he was on trial and then when he signed for them: [1], [2],[3], [4], [5]. I would argue the focus on his recovery from testicular cancer is non-trivial and non-routine coverage.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 13:19, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
- In this instance, the recovery from cancer would fall under WP:BLP1E in my opinion. The other sources you have provided seem to me to be routine transfer talk. Furthermore, some of the sources seem to be less reporting about the player, but just regurgitating quotes form his manager, which I would say make them more WP:PRIMARY than anything else.

- I have added a couple more sources from FourFourTwo.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 18:59, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- The first source is just a short interview, there's little encyclopedia c9ntent and the sec9nd source doesn't even discuss him at all. Fenix down (talk) 21:20, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

- Delete fails the notability guidelines for footballers, which footballers have to meet unless they have clear, non-football related notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
