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, Holmesby & Main or wiki. His entire Holmesby & Main entry reads "RODD, HERBERT H. (MELB.) - 1910, 9 games, 5 goals. Ex-Gisborne.", no better than a database and not WP:SIGCOV. His Demonwiki page, usually the most thorough source on Melbourne players, is no better. Google search for herbert rodd melbourne shows up databases and wikis only [1]. A newspaper search for "H. Rodd" Melbourne Football [2] yielded nothing, while searching "H. Rodd" Gisborne Football [3] demonstrated that the couple of sentences written about his career as a bank accountant attracted more coverage than his time in football. Conclusion is that multiple secondary significant 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.

I'm not looking to move Herbert C. Rodd to this title because a quick check of the references indicates that the Herbert C. Rodd is his common name. Aspirex (talk) 21:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
