Delete - NFOOTBALL debatable, no evidence of GNG (which in any event is more important).

Keep, covereage is enough IMO, notwithstanding that this is a historical player where it's harder to find sources.--

Currently two of the sources are on a fan website, and the third is Dundee United FC, which is not independent.

Delete. The article has 1 non-independent RS and 2 sources that are clearly not RS (database on a self-published fan site). If that is all anyone could find on this player in 13 years then he clearly fails GNG.

Delete Had a look in Pat Kelly's Dundee United Who's Who from 1998 and unusually he and his brother are grouped together as one entry - on p.180 - (with very limited info) which suggests a lack of notability regardless of the fact he made appearances in the Scottish top flight. It is noted that the two twins were identical and made at least one full appearance together in a league match for Dundee United (vs Aberdeen on 18 December 1971). Perhaps a redirect to Sandy White would be best as Joe can be covered there in basic detail.

Delete Fails GNG, passing NFOOTY doesn't matter when it comes to AFD

Merge to
Sandy White (footballer), his twin, which does mention him, as they played together at Dundee United (meeting NFOOTBALL), however his career was much more significant.

I have added to the reference to Joe at Sandy's article information from the source mentioned above.

Delete - fails NFOOTBALL, as the Scottish top division was not anything like "fully professional" then (
or until c. 1990). The more important matter is lack of WP:SIGCOV meaning it fails WP:GNG by some distance.

Delete: Per nom. If
WP:SIGCOV does not exist, which it does not appear so, consensus exists at
WP:WINNEROUTCOMES for someone who barely meets NFOOTY which results in delete.
