Player does not qualify for WP:NRU (Major League Rugby is not a notable league under WP:NRU), only brief mentions and news on the player signing for sides so does not qualify for WP:GNG either. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:46, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Seems to me to meet WP:GNG, as the sources provide “substantial coverage”, viz. articles about Hughston and not brief mentions. Moonraker (talk) 06:55, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't believe any of the sources on the page or that I can find are 'substantial coverage', that are independent of the source/tournament. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:47, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moonraker, as has been discussed here can you show which of the sources in the article provide enough significant coverage for it to pass WP:GNG or if there are other sources that you believe enough to allow it to pass WP:GNG can you provide them.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete fails WP:GNG. The sources are not independent of the subject or its leagues, or are unreliable. SportingFlyer T·C 14:15, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
