I am unable to find enough coverage of the subject, a South African rugby union player, to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTCRIT. Contested PROD. JTtheOG ( talk) 20:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

- Weak keep Couple of bits here, here and here which I think make it worth a weak keep. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 08:59, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete on account of the serious dearth of sources denoting notability. The ones provided above by RugbyFan22 are two routine listings of players, plus one nostalgia-cum-trivia article titled "Where Are They Now". We cannot construct notability on such thin ground. Otherwise, Wikipedia would be a collection of random information. - The Gnome ( talk) 17:22, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

- Weak keep the sources mentioned by Rugbyfan22 look like non-trivial coverage (there is a prose section of each, it's not just a routine listing). I am assuming Rugby365 is an acceptable source. -- Here2rewrite ( talk) 17:52, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Per The Gnome. This subject lacks the needed WP:SIGCOV from IRS to meet the GNG. Let'srun ( talk) 22:34, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:SPORTSPERSON was recently revised for this exact situation. A sports biography must contain at least one independent reliable source which significantly covers the subject. Nothing approaching that here, applied, presented or found. BusterD ( talk) 16:54, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
