Fails GNG despite passing SNG (which cannot supersede GNG). Secondary sources cannot be found in the article, and no SIGCOV can be found on the web. Timothytyy (talk) 10:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Tennis, and United Kingdom. Timothytyy (talk) 10:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - what? This guy made the 3rd Round of the Australian Open and Wimbledon (Australia twice!)... the biggest tennis tournaments in the world. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:33, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- NTENNIS (part of SNG) cannot supersede GNG. Coverage is coverage. Anyway sources were added later. Timothytyy (talk) 10:12, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

You would do better to put up a template that more sources are needed rather than deletion nominations. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:22, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
