Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:49, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:19, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @GiantSnowman: Found some sources that I think confer significance.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, some coverage that IMO is significant on top of his 65 international caps: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The second, third and fourth sources are all trivial mentions of the subject. The fifth one is not even a source, rather a tag of the person on a website. The first one is passable imo, but not enough for SIGCOV. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree - source 1 is good, the rest insufficient. Giant Snowman 08:49, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - Per @Ortizesp:. Clearly significant figure in St Vincent and the Grenadines football (confirmed by 6), 2nd most capped Saint Vincent and the Grenadines international ever with 63 appearances and 6th highest Saint Vincent and the Grenadines international scorer ever and definitely has offline sources, having consistently scored during an extensive pro career abroad and played 16 years for national team with double digit caps and been only Vincentian to ever play in Middle East. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 02:05, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your source is a database, which cannot be used to gauge WP:SIGCOV Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets wp:anybio by 63 international appearances for the national team which is fully recognised by FIFA for 34 years. Few info on the Internet but there should be option to find and create significant coverage per WP:Hey. Few years ago ENwiki was lenient for footballers who played few matches for national team not recognised by FIFA.Dawid2009 (talk) 15:39, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NFOOTBALL has been phased out. Your rationale is no longer valid. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. One non-trivial source is not enough for GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 01:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per JoelleJay. BilledMammal (talk) 05:14, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment How about this google books source? Velox is also mentioned in some English books and broadly covered in LAtimes [1], I think all those books and sources are better than news coverage (suggested above, partly reliable). What I can see "keep" is reasonable option, eventually redirect to national team to keep content in history but certainly not delte. I recently supported deletion of many footballers at Afd but I have really too serious doubts to remove soccer player with (!) 63 official international appearances!

Velox is only briefly mentioned once in a match report by the LA Times. Books can count as significant sources but there are no indications that he is significantly mentioned in these books. Alvaldi (talk) 08:34, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to national team page or Delete. Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant sources. Although I did find this significant source, WP:GNG requires multiple significant sources from multiple publications so he's still of the mark. Alvaldi (talk) 08:37, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete owing to a lack of multiple, in-depth high quality sources. Fails GNG. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:01, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
