While he did play in two World Cup qualifiers and appeared in one Caribbean Cup qualifier according to the stats sites, Ehricks comprehensively fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 21:41, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep since when are we deleting article on international footballers? His surname also seems to be spelt Ehrichs in some sources, and on a quick look, there are at least a couple of sources about him under that spelling: [1], [2]. I believe it's likely there is more coverage of him, but Puerto Rican newspapers don't seem to have a prominent online coverage. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:22, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The misspelling at least explains why there was so little coverage of him. I still don't see significant coverage - almost all of it is from Hofstra and not secondary, so I won't be withdrawing: for instance he's headlined here but there's only one mention of him in the article.

Keep per Joseph - international player. Needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 11:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He still clearly fails WP:GNG. As far as I can tell (having searched the archives of major Puerto Rican newspapers), it's impossible to improve with secondary reliable sources. SportingFlyer T·C 13:29, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes GNG and NFOOTY.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:18, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Two of the international caps, were starts where he played the full matches against at the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF Second Round against Honduras. Someone blanked a couple of references to this back in early 2011, that I've restored, though they are now dead URLs. I couldn't confirm the third cap, however 2010 version of the PR team article says 3 caps. Nfitz (talk) 02:37, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added a couple of Puerto Rican references. Nfitz (talk) 17:08, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ehricks isn't mentioned in the lede of either of those articles - would you mind copying the text where he's mentioned so we can determine whether they pass WP:GNG? They don't seem promising to me, neither of those stories are specifically on him. SportingFlyer T·C 10:30, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's only a sentence or two. Proquest access is available through the Wikipedia Library Card to any regular editor here. See https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/ and use these links one, two to see the whole article, and not just the lead. I wasn't trying to imply they were great GNG references. The two broken links would be better - well at least the one that's independent. Nfitz (talk) 19:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not a single keep !voter has presented evidence that any WP:GNG-qualifying sources exist for this player. Every single source currently in the article is problematic somehow. SportingFlyer T·C 11:42, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I also don't see any GNG-meeting references here, and since NSPORT explicitly defers to GNG it's irrelevant whether he meets NFOOTY. JoelleJay (talk) 04:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
