Appears to have attracted some attention as a referee due to a controversial decision. Sources only make peripheral mention of the subject. Lack of significant in-depth coverage. Mduvekot (talk) 13:31, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. All sources provided in the article are trivial/ROTM mentions (where the subject is mentioned in passing). There wouldn't appear to be any sources which meet SIGCOV (where the subject is the main topic of the source material or otherwise covered in detail).

Delete does not meet the inclusion criteria for footballers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:45, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (GAA Football) does not indicate he was most notable as a "footballer", as per "john pack lambert". He has clearly been influential in a notable teams development in coaching and organisation. He is also a published author. To delete the article would be backward. Wikipedia is here to inform and educate not to erase potential knowledge. Thanks.
