Following a discussion started in WT:FPL, the Scottish Championship was correctly deemed to no longer meet the requirements of being a fully professional league, as some clubs, including Alloa, were semi-pro.

This now means that Lynch's two appearances no longer give any presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL and he needs to pass WP:GNG. I did a WP:BEFORE search but could only find passing mentions in match reports and the like.

He was on the books of Kilmarnock last season but, as per Soccerway and GSA, he didn't make it off the bench in the league and his only cup appearance was for the youth team. Spiderone 22:04, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 09:57, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - As it has been decided that Scottish Championship appearances do not automatically meet notability requirements, then this does fail on grounds of notability. The player is young enough that this may change in the future and he will meet notability guidelines, but for now the best thing is to delete the article.
