I don't believe this person meets GNG. Briefly on the books at Bradford City 20 years ago where he played all of eight minutes in a single League Cup game.

I wasn't sure if I should nominate, due to him being mentioned in The Independent and other notable sources.

Although he was mentioned in articles at the time of his dismissal from the club, I don't think these pieces constitute significant coverage. He is never covered specifically, with each of these articles listing him alongside a teammate. These references also cover one event and he was subject to no sustained coverage.

Redirect to List of Bradford City A.F.C. players (1–49 league appearances), also suggest copying the 11v11 cite and soccerbase cite to the list. Govvy (talk) 23:38, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He wouldn't be suitable for that list as he never made a league appearance. His one appearance came in a cup game. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 00:00, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 2000–01 Bradford City A.F.C. season#Statistics as much more suitable target. Giant Snowman 14:59, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - One appearance for Bradford City in the League Cup does not make him notable enough to have an article. The circumstances of his departure for the club (along with that of another player) did attract coverage, but this coverage is not really enough to justify an article either. However perhaps a mention of this incident and the two players departure could be moved from here to 2001–02 Bradford City A.F.C. season. Dunarc (talk) 20:21, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
