Although this article passes NTENNIS, it completely fails GNG (which cannot be superseded by SNG) as it has no citations at all. A search on the web shows that there are no secondary sources about him, so there are no spaces for improvement. Timothytyy (talk) 10:06, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - it looks like it has citations to me. He was a notable player in his day. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:29, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- FYI the sources were added later. Timothytyy (talk) 10:11, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- The fact that these sources were added shows your claim "there are no secondary sources about him" to be incorrect.--Wolbo (talk) 10:51, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Wolbo I couldn't access all the newly-added citations. All of them were local newspapers. So yeah, I agree, my claim "there are no secondary sources about him" is incorrect after all, just because I couldn't find them online. Timothytyy (talk) 11:46, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
