Does not meet WP:GNG, coverage is limited to brief mentions in match writeups and non-independent reporting by his club. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:39, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per this decent article, [1], other bits like [2], the cites on the article already, more around in google is enough for me for basic WP:GNG thanks. Govvy (talk) 22:46, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Dougal18's evaluation of these sources below (although the Sun citation is really just a mere mention even before we consider the paper's reliability). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 13:58, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Herald contains a couple of sentences and his boss waffling on about Lyon. The Sun is depreciated, the cites on the article are either non independent (PTFC) or mentions in match reports (BBC). He fails GNG. Dougal18 (talk) 12:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lyon has literally today moved on loan to a new club, I have already added new sources covering this and will continue to update the page and add content and sources when necessary. This move will only provide the page with more detail. Partickthistle123 (talk)

Comment Where is the SIGCOV? Read CRYSTAL. Dougal18 (talk) 13:02, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I really don't understand the persecution of Scottish football league players at times. They get similar coverage to English players. I still don't get why people don't like general coverage. Govvy (talk) 14:40, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. Herald source is OKish, Sun is absolutely not. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 19:18, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify, maybe TOOSOON, but he's playing pro football and already has some coverage.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:48, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
