unnotable darts player, fails GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 20:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, participated in four world championships and was a professional in the sport. The event was the sole dart world championship at the time, and had a significant viewership (especially in UK). --Soman (talk) 20:54, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Notability isn't inherited from playing in notable sports events. I found this and this which have details about his career in between the quotes from McCarthy. There is this but it is only 3 paragraphs on him. Dougal18 (talk) 14:19, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Per Soman. He has some coverage too.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. Please assess whether sources available can establish GNG notability as notability is not gained from events an individual participates in.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I think the sources linked above are sufficient for a bare WP:GNG pass. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:06, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
