- Delete - I found a passing mention in a BBC squad list and a few mentions in a semi-pro match report in GameDay. Please ping me if anything better is found and I'm happy to change my !vote. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:20, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Playing a solitary game in the SPL for Motherwell (as a late substitute) does not in itself make someone notable and I cannot find any other evidence that would suggest he has the sort of notability that would justify him having a Wikipedia article.

- Delete. I just don’t see any evidence of WP:NOTABILITY in the WP:SOURCES given in the article. They don’t satisfy WP:GNG or WP:ATHLETE. If there were significant evidence of notability, then I would support keeping, but as it stands I have to say delete since the subject just doesn’t seem notable enough to merit an article.

- Delete - No significant coverage. Fails notability. Pershkoviski (talk) 20:26, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
