The result was no consensus. The situation has clearly changed since the nomination was made nearly a month ago, with the player apparently having played for the national team and potentially meeting the relevant notability guideline now. Without any further participation despite multiple relists, it seems that (a) the nomination's rationale is no longer factually correct but (b) nobody's directly argued to keep the article on the basis of now passing WP:NRU#3. This discussion has not reached a useful consensus, but if there are enduring notability issues I'd suggest a new nomination detailing them. ~ mazca ^talk 15:52, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Hi there, the player does now meet WP:NRU, he is playing for the Ireland national sevens team, the player meets point 3. MunsterFan2011 (talk) 17:05, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Could someone confirm that receiving a call up is equivalent to 'playing for a team'. My understanding is that he has yet to play and might be either benched or unable to play for the team due to whatever reason (like an injury). nearlyevil665 17:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nearlyevil665: it looks like Phillips has now played for a team in a way that may meet WP:NRU#3. Does that change the situation from what you described in the initial nomination? — Bilorv (talk) 00:37, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify Has yet to appear for the Irish 7s side so currently fails WP:NRU. I don't think we include this Olympic repecharge (qualifying) events as a notable tournament in the guidelines either. Unless more sourcing can be found for GNG I'd recommend draftifying until he passes NRU. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The player now definitely meets point 3 of WP:NRU...MunsterFan2011 (talk) 11:01, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
