The result was keep. Beyond NFOOTY, for a footballer playing almost 100 years ago, sufficient sources have been provided to indicate GNG, even going back that far. Fenix down (talk) 13:35, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NFOOTBALL having never played outside whatever the Republic of Ireland was called then or a senior international game. Fails WP:GNG also. Dougal18 (talk) 21:30, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As the article now suggests he played in Football League I think there is definitely a strong case for Keep. Dunarc (talk) 20:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: I am almost persuaded to agree with User:SportingFlyer. I will surmise the subject is not alive so not a BLP. The sources are a bit sketchy on birth and possible death dates but with all the totally non-notable live players having articles I could see this as historical.

  • Keep. Passes WP:NFOOTBALL because he played in the English Football League for Walsall before going to Ireland. Added to his achivements already mentioned: top-scoring in the LoI while playing for the title-winners, scoring for the winning side in the Cup Final, and 3 appearances for the League of Ireland XI, and some individual coverage which I've added to the article, there's enough to suggest a GNG pass. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:36, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep Struway2 updates certainly help, if that's right he passes WP:NFOOTBALL for playing when Div 3 was divided into North and South. Govvy (talk) 15:23, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
