Non-notable RL player. Was unable to find any WP:SIGCOV at Trove, other than a few mentions of him being the father of his much more famous son. J Mo 101 (talk) 18:33, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Keep. Nomination fails to raise a cas as to why this needs to be deleted when the obvious alternative of a Redirect to List of Sydney Roosters players is there. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:23, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Changed now that the is a delete comment below. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:50, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I have no problem with a redirect, but why not simply recommend that rather than "speedy keep"? In any case, I would disagree that the above redirect target is obvious, when his bigger claim to fame is that he was Brian Bevan's father. J Mo 101 (talk) 11:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails GNG, and notability not inherited. RLP gives the name as Eric Bevan, and a search for this gives only a few results on Trove, the most detailed on which, from 1950, just notes that Brian's father used to play and which teams he played for. I am not sure how useful a redirect to the list of players would be as there are only three other links to the article – on Brian Bevan, where the name is already preceded by a link to the club, the families list where he appears next to the link to Brian, and on the Richard Bevan dab page where his inclusion does not seem particularly relevant.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete as per Edward's reasons. Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. We rarely have articles for players of one first grade game. LibStar (talk) 13:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
