• Keep per IAR/COMMONSENSE; 74 appearances in England's professional leagues, plus international appearances, plus a significant non-league career. You're saying there is no coverage? I say you haven't looked properly. GiantSnowman 21:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Some coverage from a very quick (literally 3 minutes) Google search - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 - plus all the stuff there will be on the newspaper archives from the pre-internet days! GiantSnowman 21:25, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Per everything above. Besides the sources GiantSnowman found, I found 9, 10,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, among many many more sources from newspapers.com, lancashiretelegraph.co.uk, lancs.live, theboltonnews.co.uk, etc. Having had an extensive fully pro and international career during the 1990s-2000s, there are definitely offline sources as well. Clearly is/was significant figure in English lower league as well as Saint Kitts and Nevis football. Article needs improvement, not deletion.

• Keep. I have performed a HEY. Still needs a lot of work, but he is notable without question. Sportsfan 1234, I would ask that you take another look at the sources and withdraw this nomination. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 15:40, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Massive WP:BEFORE failure. Nfitz (talk) 02:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails GNG due to a lack of significant coverage. The refbombing has produced source after source where Lutel James is briefly mentioned and heavily quoted. Dougal18 (talk) 10:18, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found 18 and 19 and 20, which states "James in his day was a leading and highly-sought striker for clubs such as Altrincham, Accrington Stanley and Guiseley. He also played in the Football League for Bury". We have found 20+ sources which isn't a small amount, and on top of that he has many many more sources from newspapers.com, lancashiretelegraph.co.uk, lancs.live, theboltonnews.co.uk, as well as other websites, etc. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:18, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another brief mention, a copyright violating video and a couple of paragraphs. Dougal18 (talk) 10:41, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

James has eight mentions on the first source... Das osmnezz (talk) 17:07, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
