Player does not qualify for WP:NRU (Major League Rugby is not a notable league under WP:NRU), only brief mentions and news of the player signing for sides so does not qualify for WP:GNG either. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:57, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Seems to me to meet WP:GNG, as at least one source is “substantial coverage”, viz. an article about Malafu. Moonraker (talk) 06:48, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't believe any of the sources on the page or that I can find are 'substantial coverage', that are independent of the source/tournament. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:45, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moonraker, as has been discussed here can you show which of the sources in the article provide enough significant coverage for it to pass WP:GNG or if there are other sources that you believe enough to allow it to pass WP:GNG can you provide them.

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2020 November 16. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 22:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – All news sources I found are strictly mentions with no depth, frequently not even the subject of the one sentence where he is mentioned. Everything else is short statement transactions of the WP:ROUTINE variety. A synopsis of his career by Doug Coil when he signed to Old Glory is about as deep as it gets, and I have reservations about his website as he is the primary writer and editor per WP:RSCONTEXT. It would still only be a single source anyways. Yosemiter (talk) 22:08, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
