Fails WP:GNG. This player was previously deemed notable under the WP:NAFL for having played one Victorian Football League game, but this SNG no longer exists after WP:NSPORTS2022. All references in the article at time of nomination are database, Holmesby & Main (where all players have at least a cursory entry for completeness - inclusion alone is not SIGCOV), or public newspaper death notices (notices only, not obituaries - again not SIGCOV). A google search for Harold de Gruchy Melbourne shows up database and wikis only [1]. Among those, the Demonwiki (Melbourne Football Club fan history wiki) [2] includes links to a total of two news articles which mention his existence as a footballer, and two funeral notices; the only descriptions of him as a footballer were to note in one sentence that he was from Cumloden College and that he did not have a good game in his sole game [3] – certainly insufficient description of the subject to constitute SIGCOV or contribute to the meeting of GNG. 1899-1901 newspaper search for "de gruchy football melbourne" shows a couple of routine references to playing school football for Cumloden College, but nothing beyond WP:ROUTINE and nothing which would exceed the requirements of WP:YOUNGATH [4]. My conclusion is that multiple secondary independent sources do not exist and shall never exist. If not deletion, then I am of the opinion that this article could be redirected to List of Melbourne Football Club players#1900s consistent with previous AfDs for similar situations, e.g. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Graham_Kemp.

DE GRUCHY, HAROLD (MELB.) ― 1901, 1 game, 0 goals. (b. 9 Feb 1881).That's not significant coverage. – Tera tix ₵ 11:58, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. I don't understand those editors arguing for Keep while acknowledging the lack of reliable sources. I have to abide by consensus but this is not the standard that has been applied to other sportspeople in recent AFDs.
