Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leon James (footballer) (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. I see that there are more delete arguments than keep ones, but since none of the deletes has attempted to refute or rebut the GNG-based keep arguments this looks more like a keep consensus than no consensus, let alone delete.

Delete This article was just deleted in December.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:33, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Has been subject of in-depth coverage by multiple sources, which should satisfy the GNG.[1][2][3] Loads of news coverage of his career movements as well. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:48, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: More time needed to debate potentially GNG-satisfying sources

Comment: Of the three sources I identified, the first is an in-depth profile piece by mainstand.co.th, a sports/lifestyle website. It is presented in the author's voice, interspersed with interview excerpts. The second is an article on the sports section of TrueID, portal/lifestyle website, and is written as an analytical essay about his career. The third is an online article from Thairath, and consists of a brief introduction followed mostly by interview quotations. --Paul_012 (talk) 22:55, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While it does not satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL, I think the article can be kept under the more broad guidelines of WP:GNG, so long as the sources Paul_012 provided are implemented. They've got much more biographical content (I managed to translate to English) than what's currently cited in the article and each comes from a different news agency. --Nannochloropsis (talk) 17:35, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
