No evidence of any notability. The sources currently in the article are some sportsfan database[1], a match report that mentions a McCartney (this one)[2], some name mentions on a personal website of a Livingston fan[3], and finally a reliable source, the Glasgow Evening Times, which, er, doesn't even mention McCartney[4].

Looking for better sources than this sorry bunch didn't yield anything useful. Fram (talk) 13:48, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is one of several footballer articles created by this user of dubious notability. Not enough in-depth coverage to show that they pass WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:42, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. As you might expect, Newspapers.com turns up several people with the same name in Scotland, but so far I've only been able to find one passing mention of this Craig McCartney in the Daily Record on 16 October 1993 when he joined Meadowbank.

Delete - I would agree with the consensus above that it appear that the subject lacks the level notability that would be needed for an article. It seems he only ever played a few matches in the lower levels of the Scottish League and that his career has not attracted any significant coverage.
