The result was delete. The community came to a consensus in March that caps alone do not confer notability and WP:NFOOTY was deprecated. Based on that, I disregarded the comments by Zanoni and Das osmnezz which LOCALCONSENSUS around the community's decision. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 16:35, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep User has nominated ~25 articles for deletion in ~20 minutes. Imposisble that a WP:BEFORE was done for each, and the nominations appear to be in bad faith. NemesisAT (talk) 22:40, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - has clearly decided all players that play for national teams he does not feel confer notability are those which should be deleted. The usual revisionism and elitism around notability in sports Zanoni (talk) 08:18, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 15:13, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per NemesisAT and Zanoni. In addition, he is a young international capped player with an ongoing career. I look at the other sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 30. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 21:16, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. There is no significant coverage in the article and none has been presented here. This is a modern day athlete from a English speaking country during the golden age of the internet so if there were sources they should be easily accessible.

Delete - due to a complete absence of significant coverage, Murray fails GNG. I disagree with the comment above saying that he is a young player, 34 is quite close to the average retirement age for a footballer. I therefore would also oppose draftifying as future notability seems doubtful. Comments relating to playing for a national team bear no relation to any Wikipedia policy or guideline and should be given less weight. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:13, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Less Unless: woul you mind explaining why is there no consensus, given that no one has given policy-based reasons for keeping? Avilich (talk) 19:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
