Fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Adam9007 ( talk) 14:55, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Speedy keep But appears to pass WP:FOOTBALL. TheLongTone ( talk) 15:18, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Playing for Cardiff City. TheLongTone ( talk) 15:21, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Regardless of notability, I can't verify the existence of Marchant. Probably the best bet for doing that would be the archives of the South Wales Echo from ~1949-51 (when he seems to have been active, according to our article here). Unfortunately, I don't have access to those, and the Times and Sunday Times archives I do have access to don't turn up anything from searching... Caeciliusinhorto ( talk) 17:23, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Does not deserve an article since no verifiable sources pop up on a simple google search.-- Account2235 ( talk) 20:18, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oh right. If you can'r google it, it does not exist. I've added a couple of refs. Since I think that football is one of the least interesting things on this or any other planet I've no idea how reliable they are. TheLongTone ( talk) 15:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- Speedy keep I've added some references and a basic infobox to cleanup the article somewhat. Definitely passes WP:FOOTBALL. Kosack ( talk) 12:53, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

- Speedy keep Clearly passes WP:NFOOTBALL with >50 appearances in the Football League. Number 5 7 12:11, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- Speedy keep Subject played for several years and two different teams in
the Football League, a league listed as
fully professional, so passes the criteria outlined in the
subject-specific notability guideline. This brings with it a presumption of general notability.
Although I'm not surprised that a basic Google search doesn't provide clear evidence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources of a person whose notable career ended more than 60 years ago, I am surprised that some of you failed to find evidence of Mr Marchant's existence: all three web references currently present in the article come from the first 17 results of the Google search linked above. cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 13:24, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Per above passes WP:NFOOTBALL. Pharaoh of the Wizards ( talk) 18:05, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Subject satisfies WP:NFOOTBALL. What are we to gain by deleting articles that satisfy our subject specific criteria? Mattythewhite ( talk) 21:51, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
