Delete I read the article, seems like it's loaded with fluff to me! Most of those citations seem routine, I really don't see
WP:GNG met.

Most? Which ones don't seem routine?

Delete for the reasons cited by the nominator.

Comment There's an overwhelming amount of of media coverage, relating to his Liverpool U-23 days, his signing from Saints, his release from Saints, and then his signing by Bohemians, which seems to get a lot of national coverage. Over 300
Wikipedia pageviews yesterday (before today's AFD). There's so much coverage, it's difficult to read through the list of all the articles! Are we sure there's no notability?

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Routine is run-of-the-mill transfer coverage, nothing significant.

Comment his move to Bohemians made national news in Ireland, which is a country that requires players meet
WP:GNG. This one all depends on whether you think his articles about moving to St Pats and then Bohemians (which cover him specifically, aren't blurbs) are routine or not, but most of the citations in the article are indeed routine. I don't view notability as an either/or - some articles may or may not be notable depending on your lens, and this is one of them. I don't mind keeping this at all as I think he's been significantly covered, but certainly understand if it gets deleted. If it does get deleted, he doesn't need a whole lot else to become notable - maybe draftify this instead of deleting it in case he gets covered again within six months, which I think is rather possible.

Delete – agree with the nom and other delete !voters. All the coverage appears routine, primary and/or brief. Nothing suggesting this player meets our notability guidelines (or will meet them soon). –

Draftify. On the face of it, one of those articles with much text and little substance. But, given his age and apparent potential, I think it would be worth a draft, per
SportingFlyer above, in case he stars for Bohemians and then gets snapped up by an EFL club for next season. A tricky one. Pity he never got a first-team game for Liverpool.
