Delete though sadly he got many paragraphs of coverage in The Daily Record in when he missed a penalty which ~~would~~ might have allowed Whitehill to advance in the Scottish Cup in 1999 (devastating description), and there is a choice quote from his manager in 1998 ("Stuart's goals now give us the psychological boost of going top of the table just before our Scottish Cup tie against Stenhousemuir.") That said, the Scottish newspapers from this period are tricky and if someone feels compelled to search each one individually and access archives, you may be able to find more, so I wouldn't definitively rule out that enough coverage exists to argue WP:BASIC; it just seems highly unlikely.

Delete - As far as I can see, the available evidence is that he did not have a notable enough career to merit an article. Dunarc (talk) 22:59, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
