The result was Draftify. I'm willing to provide it for XeverPL, but I will also protect the mainspace to ensure AfC is used. Star Mississippi 02:31, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As per the original AfD nom, I think this is WP:TOOSOON. In terms of sport-specific criteria, we don't seem to have guidelines specifically for darts players, and so WP:SPORTBASIC would seem to apply. Which expects that "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources". And I'm not seeing that any such significant coverage exists. In terms of this WP:SIGCOV, looking in national (mainstream) news sources, a search in the Irish Times, the Irish Independent and on the RTÉ website returns nothing at all. In darts sources, we find only passing mentions and relatively ROTM coverage. And, in local (regional) news sources, we find two examples of (very recent) "local boy done good" type stuff. While this is great, and I have added these to the article to support some of the text, I don't think these examples are significant enough to contribute much to (or establish) notability. (Otherwise, unless I'm missing something, the subject is similar to any other professional darts player - And I'm not aware of any guideline or consensus that every pro darts player (who has or had a tour card) is automatically notable...)

Oppose: Identical situation as in the case of Pascal Rupprecht, with the difference that in this case he has already achieved some success on the international arena in youth tournaments. I am asking for a draft this if getting a pro tour card and qualifying for the UK Open tournament is not enough. XeverPL (talk) 9:19, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
