PROD contested by article creator, no reason given. Fails
WP:GNG (no significant coverage) and
WP:NFOOTBALL (no professional appearances). Will likely become notable later in the year when the football season starts again, but
WP:CRYSTAL applies and
a draft already exists which pre-dates the mainspace creation.

Commment Hang on, you are nominating it for deletion, despite claiming they'll likely be notable in a few weeks?? I don't see anything in Drafts. A quick Google News search yields an astonishing
4530 hits. While I haven't had a chance to go through thousands of articles yet ... I'm not feeling the delete here.

They might be notable in a few weeks, they might not be. We are not a crystal ball, we cannot keep on the assumption.
Lol, out of boredom/interest I've just Googled myself using the same method as above. I get nearly 8,000 results. Does that make notable?

Ah, I missed the draft link. But that's not draftspace ... I'm not sure I'd call something in Userspace a "draft". Why not put something like that in draft space to avoid duplication? And ... it seems odd to me, to be creating articles in userspace, but then AFDing an attempt to create the article elsewhere ... I don't see how this is constructive. But also ... hang on ... you have 4500 hits for your name, in quotes, in Google News (not Google, but Google News). Unless your name is John Smith or Steve Jones ... that seems odd ... my name isn't uncommon, but I only see 80 hits - and unlike Trae Coyle (which is surely an unusual name), they aren't me. But they all look like him. No, it doesn't make him notable ...but I haven't had a chance to look through them.

Weak keep. There is coverage but not much. So far, the best seems to be
this and
this but, if that is deemed insufficient, then I'd suggest merging this into the draft so as not to lose the work done so far. --

Keep The article
above that DanielRigal mentions is not routine transfer news. It's a a significant in-depth piece, that predates doesn't even mention the possibility of his transfer to Gillingham and meets GNG. And as far as routine transfers, there's been a huge amount of coverage of a supposedly routine transfer, worldwide - even in
Viet Nam and
India.

Draftify/userfy - player is highly likely to make his pro debut in three weeks' time. As a Gillingham supported I am happy to have it put into my user space and return it to mainspace as and when he plays --

User page space, isn't draft space, precludes collaborative editing, and makes it impossible for other editors to be easily aware that a version exists. If this article is to be deleted, it should be moved to
Draft:Trae Coyle.

Comment - just looking at pre-season reports for
Gillingham F.C., and he's been part of the starting 11 per
this. And they start the season with a fully-professional
2020–21 EFL Cup match against
Southend United F.C. in less than 6 days. I'd suggest that we apply
WP:NORUSH and relist this for another week, or else we may end up draftifying it, and then restoring it a couple of days later.

The lack of AGF and
WP:CIVIL here from
User:GiantSnowman is both stunning and shameful! Of course it doesn't indicate notability - I never said it did. It may however, indicate (along with the words I didn't quote) that they are intended to be part of the first team. While this doesn't justify creating an article, it more than justifies rushing into closure! Please stop this unnecessary sniping and apologize!
