So what exactly makes this guy notable? Being the son of Michael Vaughan, is all I can tell. He hasn't played cricket at a senior level and hasn't done anything of note in cricket to warrant inclusion. No amount of WP:ROUTINE refbombs can hide that he is a WP:GNG fail.

- Keep. I don’t understand whether he has already played for Somerset and the England U19 to pass
WP:NCRIC, but signing a contract with the club and being called up to the U19 team is being covered in the media, which indicates the passage
WP:SIGCOV. I will list several secondary sources, you can easily find more

- But why is that notable? Plenty of people get signed by major sports teams and never go onto do anything. Is the bar really set this low? Again, if his father wasn't a famous cricketer, he would not get any coverage. AA ( talk) 22:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Article was moved to mainspace via Afc. Subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Hildreth gazzard ( talk) 00:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 17:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)- Keep Widespread coverage in established media including BBC, Sky Sports, The Times, The Daily Telegraph The Independent, ESPNCricinfo etc. Yes the articles often mention his father in the headline or the article themselves but that is going to be the case his entire life unless he manages to totally surpass what his father achieved which is a high bar to set. The articles themselves are about him, not his father, and as such he easily passes the coverage test. Shrug02 ( talk) 20:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
