Only claim to notability is from technically passing WP:NFOOTBALL for playing 25 minutes of professional football for Mansfield. I could find no evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG; coverage for Ollerton was trivial. Almost a carbon copy of Wayne Stark who also made just one appearance for the same club.

Delete - agree that failing GNG comprehensively is more important than scraping by on NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 19:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Not notable in the broader encyclopaedic context. He would have a place on a Mansfield Town Fandom site, or maybe even a lower-division football Fandom site, but not here. RobinCarmody (talk) 23:56, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There are more Mansfield player articles like Stark and this. I declined to nominate those who had at least featured for another club. But they don't really warrant an encyclopedia entry. Geschichte (talk) 07:30, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's better to have a complete set of articles here for WP:NFOOTBALL than maintain a complete set on another site and a separate incomplete set here. Subject-specific guidelines are more important than WP:GNG as a reason to delete an article, there's no reason to say they shouldn't be as a reason to keep an article.
