:({{Find sources AFD|title=Joe McGlynn}})

Was draftified, and was improved before returning to mainspace. Unfortunately, there's not a single in-depth piece about this footballer from an independent, reliable, secondary source. Still fails WP:GNG. There are several local articles which mention him, but all but one are not in-depth, and all are routine sports coverage. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:33, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep - Clearly meets WP:SPORTSBASIC based on the article and the sources on it. Very young player with ongoing career who has played for a Premier League club. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 20:31, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
• {{ping|Das osmnezz}} - for clarity, he's never played in the Premier League. He has played for Burnley's under-age teams in the youth leagues, but the highest level of senior football he has played at is the National League (level 5) -- ChrisTheDude (talk)
• Keep there is sufficient sourcing to show notability. GiantSnowman 10:08, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
• Keep clearly passes GNG with sources already on pae, lazy nomination.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:31, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
• Comment - not a single in-depth source from an independent, reliable reference = "clearly passes GNG"?Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:43, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
• Delete Fails GNG. Outta the six sources that are independent of Joe McGlynn, The Guardian is a paragraph, the Burnley Express is a routine contract signing story, [https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/burnley-joel-mumbongo-lewis-richardson-20192345 this] contains a single sentence on him, [https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/lewis-richardson-burnley-michael-mellon-21694915 this] is a routine match report, [https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/five-burnleys-next-generation-keep-17426967 this] has one sentence on him and [https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/gifted-grafters-goalscorers-burnley-strike-17247214 this] is that he scored a couple of goals.

::The first source gooes into his background and even provides yearly updates on his progress, the second source defiantly does not merely contain a "single sentence on him", and the third and fourth sources also goes into more detail about him and his prospects for the first team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Das osmnezz (talk • contribs)

:WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).  // Timothy :: talk  06:59, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delete As per source analysis by Timothy. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:02, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
• Comment - Many of the sources are not necessarily routine... he gets this coverage due to his reputation and performances. All the sources combined make a Wikipedia page that meets WP:SPORTSBASIC. Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of knowledge, and this article is a "yes" to Wikipedia:The one question. McGlynn is clearly a topic of interest, having been listed in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2019" (The Guardian has tracked his progress since that year as well, which shows the level of interest) and the topic of many other sources, which combined, make for a decent sized article. Very young player with ongoing career. On a side note, I find the double standard of the most consistent pro-deletion users very frustrating since most of them either support Wikipedia:SNG for another topic where the article doesn't need to meet WP:GNG or have sometimes created articles with less coverage than this one... (I support article creation, but their double standard is very frustrating). Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:28, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delete - This is a case of WP:TOOSOON as the article fails WP:GNG; the 9th and 14th links above contain some useful prose from a publisher that is actually independent of McGlynn, but it's nowhere near significant coverage. Probably after McGlynn plays a bit of professional senior football, this will change so draftifying is an option as well. Jogurney (talk) 17:46, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
