:({{Find sources AFD|title=Mark Draycott}})

Article about former non-league/semi-pro footballer who made a handful of appearances in the US third division, and which fails WP:GNG. THe online coverage of Draycott is mostly routine/trivial stuff like match reports and signing announcements, or lacks independence (e.g., pieces from the FA or National Football League). The best coverage I could find is from local paper [https://archive.vcstar.com/sports/mark-draycott-proving-to-be-a-prolific-scorer-for-ventura-county-fusion-ep-375462322-352865141.html/ Ventura County Star], but even that is highly promotional and leans heavily on an interview with the subject. There is nothing else that approaches WP:SIGCOV. There was a previous AfD in 2009, which was withdrawn by the nominator long before WP:NSPORTS2022 deprecated NFOOTBALL.

• Weak delete He certainly had a career, I am not sure how notable being the top scorer for the Youth FA Cup actually is, it's not even sourced in the article, don't know if that can be confirmed. However, I feel in agreement with the assessment, there are some hits there for him, but the notability is just too weak for me for what is needed to even pass WP:BASIC.

• Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 10:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
