Player was previously notable under WP:NFOOTY but is no longer notable by virtue of not passing WP:ANYBIO. TartarTorte 18:59, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Doesn't seem like the nominator followed WP:BEFORE. There is plenty of coverage of Fall's life and career in print sources. – PeeJay 19:37, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's highly possible I missed something in WP:BEFORE, but pretty much all of what I saw while searching for all three name permutations: "Joe Fall", "Joseph Fall", and "Joseph William Fall" I only found largely routine statistical information. The book source I have found was from a compendium of every player to play for Manchester United. I'd be happy to withdraw if there was something large that I missed.

  • --Ortizesp (talk) 17:49, 11 May 2022 (UTC)*@TartarTorte The book you mention, does it cover him in any detail or is it just a statistical listing? Alvaldi (talk) 21:08, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • • @Alvaldi, just a statistical listing; no biographical information. TartarTorte 21:13, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm in the process of expanding the article using print and online sources. Some of the information is conflicting, so I'm attempting to put together the best account I can of Fall's career. – PeeJay 21:17, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

        Thanks. I will try and see if I can find anything on him on Newspapers.com and the British Newspaper Archive. Outside of the three name permutations you mentioned, he also seems to have been known as "J.W. Fall". Alvaldi (talk) 21:23, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per PeeJay. GiantSnowman 10:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep notable as PeeJay's expansion demonstrated. Another bad AfD nomination wasting everyone's time which shouldn't happen and is a fallout of the recent RFC. Once again reminding that WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. --SuperJew (talk) 12:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep clearly passes GNG.
