Redirect

Have redirected on the basis of failing WP:GNG. Player was previously deemed notable under the WP:NAFL for having played one Victorian Football League game, but this SNG no longer exists after WP:NSPORTS2022. Redirected to the player list article rather than deleted based on previous AfDs for similar situations, e.g. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Graham_Kemp.

All references in the article are database or Holmesby & Main. His entire Holmesby & Main entry reads "PAYNE, DENNIS (MELB.) - 1974, 1 game, 0 goals (No. 32, b. 3 Sept 1954, 194cm, 88kg) Ex-Mulwala.", no better than a database and not WP:SIGCOV. Google search for "Dennis Payne" Melbourne football shows up database and wikis only [1]. The sole substantial reference I could find on Payne is this one, which is a further prose list of statistics. Conclusion is that multiple secondary independent sources do not exist and shall never exist. I have made this change unilaterally as I believe it uncontroversial, but the above would be the basis for an AfD nomination if required. Aspirex (talk) 09:59, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
