Does not appear to meet WP:GNG; has made a single appearance for Leinster and in line with recent developing consensus, meeting sport notability guidelines does not justify an article alone. Stifle (talk) 08:44, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Leinster Rugby#Academy squad Ok, currently there's lots of passing mentions in articles and interviews, squad announcements, and news on him signing a professional deal. The player obviously passes WP:NRU as he's played in the URC, but there doesn't seem to be enough for a GNG pass. This might be something but I can't access it. In light of all of this, and given that he's a highly rated player who's played for Ireland U20s and will be in Leinster's main squad next season, redirect is suitable now per WP:ATD and if GNG sourcing arises soon, the player article can be re-created.

• Redirect as per Rugbyfan22's comment. Creation of article was premature - player may become notable in time, but isn't yet. Have done some searching and not found any sources that would bring him up to notability. --Nicknack009 (talk) 05:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
