We know a name and an initial and have a single scorecard to go on. That isn't "significant coverage" in the form that we need to have. I would not be adverse, as always, for the article to be recreated if a series of sources which could show that WP:N is met could be found.
454:– you work with the current guidelines until they have been changed and they currently state "either GNG or SNG" giving equal weight to both. Secondly, how the hell does an FAQ supersede the guideline itself? Who wrote the FAQ and within what consensus? The FAQ is wrong if it contradicts NSPORTS, not the other way around.

Given that that's the most recent and wide ranging formal discussion (as far as I can tell) we should probably try and respect it.

No, I'm saying that the close of that discussion made clear that it should not be acceptable to simply cite compliance with a subguideline of NSPORTS. That's what the close says and seems to generally reflect the consensus of that discussion (which, if I recall correctly, I didn't take part in) - a

A list of supposedly "frequently asked questions" on a neutral encyclopedia is pointless as it assumes the ignorance of those involved and serves to answer questions in an absolute way which (people are claiming) have no absolute answer even though there are absolute notability criteria to hand

Ha, ha. So you are saying that "suggests" takes precedence over "states"; that a "suggestion" from a discussion involving perhaps a dozen people takes precedence over an unequivocal statement in the introduction to WP:GNG. This illustrates how ridiculously illogical the whole stupid
