No citations, no specific claim to notability, no specific years played making this impossible to verify. google web search turns up no hits for `"Leo Murray" "bohemians" "ireland"`. Lizthegrey (talk) 10:31, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Doesn't appear to meet WP:SPORTBASIC ("Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources"). Per nom, a search of national news sources (like the Irish Examiner or the Irish Times or similar) returns nothing. Not even passing mentions. A search through the Irish Newspapers Archives platform returns a handful of passing mentions, including in Dublin's Evening Herald newspaper (which covers/covered national and regional association football games). And, perhaps(?), two results in the Irish Independent. However, these are all just passing mentions in match reports. And, even if each mention is the same Leo Murray, only confirms that he played with a few (amateur?) teams in Dublin during the 1960s (Bohs and Fairview CYMS?). Which wouldn't automatically indicate notability. Absent a claim to notability in the body, and coverage to the extent that WP:SPORTBASIC is met, I cannot see how can support retention....

Delete. For the reasons stated in the nomination and in Guliolopez's very helpful comments. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 16:15, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the nomination and above comments: the article does not currently pass WP:SPORTBASIC and there is not enough significant coverage to justify the article. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 19:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draft, to provide a decent amount of time to search for plausible sources. If the date of birth supplied in the article is correct, there is an actuarial probability that this subject has died, and an obituary is sitting somewhere. BD2412 T 22:49, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we think more time will help? This article has had the BLP sources template on it since March 2008. It can always be re-created if sources do turn up other than a single pamphlet/event programme that a fan says they had two decades ago which nobody else can verify.

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 10:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
