Almost nine months after the previous AFD, there is still not a single source with even a full sentence about him. KSFT ^(t|c) 21:15, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm neutral on this; while sources are sparce, there are a few reliable examples listed on the Talk Page, such as https://www.newsletter.co.uk/sport/more-sport/sean-murray-loss-is-massive-blow-to-lisnagarvey-1-6389859 and https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/hockey/sean-murray-hopes-to-get-the-thumbs-up-30755944.html Okamialvis (talk) 21:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I had advocated a 'delete' in the previous AfD. Mainly on WP:TOOSOON grounds. While I am perhaps not swayed to recommend a firm 'keep', I do not feel I can agree with the "not a single sentence since" statement in the nom. As, in the months since (Apr 2017 to Jan 2018), there does seem to have been an increase in some types of coverage. While it may still be slightly TOOSOON, I am shifted to a more neutral stance based on the activity in the intervening months. If the community feels that the article is to be kept, then the scope and references will need to be firmed-up (to avoid a loosely sourced article becoming a magnet for more loosely framed nonsense).

Keep. Clearly notable international hockey player, with no real shortage of coverage, e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. --Michig (talk) 13:11, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
