Keep and close No rationale presented by the nominator. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:06, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated for deletion due to the fact he hasnt managed or played for a league club, first team. Telfordbuck (talk) 19:25, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep now there's a rationale for deletion, IF [1] is independent enough (and, by extension, the lower league ones), then he'll pass GNG, due to numerous interviews there. Lukeno94 (talk) 22:06, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (obviously as I'm the article creator). The article was never intended to satisfy NFOOTBALL (which it doesn't), but rather GNG, based on a significant and growing number of secondary sources, including several newspapers and BBC Sport. DevaCat (talk) 00:52, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would strike that second sentance, as WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an argument to avoid in deletion discussions. Mentoz86 (talk) 11:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, consider it withdrawn DevaCat (talk) 23:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - The article is close on passing WP:GNG, and with one more good source I would be satisfied that this is a notable topic. I think we should give the article creator more time on improving the article, rather then deleting it. Mentoz86 (talk) 11:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename - appears to just about meet GNG. Should be renamed to Neil Young (footballer born 1975) per standard conventions for managers who previously had a playing career. Giant Snowman 11:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agree that the article just passes GNG and ye, rename as Snowman said. Govvy (talk) 15:52, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
