Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lewis Macleod (footballer)
There's no argument about the subject failing  as it currently stands, and I'm not convinced that  lets us change that guideline here by declaring Rangers to be a special case. WFC above says he'd be more comfortable with an appeal to  to keep the article. IAR applies when the rule to be ignored stops us improving the encyclopedia. I'm further not convinced that the encyclopedia would be generally improved by invoking IAR to include this article, and I'm ''absolutely'' sure that the encyclopedia ''would not'' be improved by invoking IAR to declare Rangers players notable ''per se''. Which brings us to .If the effort expended here in support of the article being kept because Rangers are a special case had been applied to adding all the presumed media coverage to Mr Macleod's article, then there's be no argument about his passing GNG. But it hasn't. The article's improved since its nomination here, but as already stated above, most of the sources just verify his appearance in various matches. Of the others, several are variations on his signing a new contract with the club and the others show that young players (including Mr Macleod) are getting a chance because the club are playing at a low level. I don't see that as meeting GNG, particularly in light of the definition of multiple sources (see explanatory note #3 at ). If Mr Macleod's career continues as he hopes, then he's sure to get enough individual coverage to pass GNG in his own right, but I don't think he's there yet. cheers
