Player played one game in second division, and all other games way down the league pyramid. Coverage is almost exclusively passing mentions in match reports, with a handful of short local sports articles giving some attention (things like this and this, but nothing really substantial (e.g. covering his career or giving some background) or supra-local.

Keep - Clearly significant figure in Scottish lower league football with ongoing career based on sources here on on the page itself. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:45, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As it happens, I have seen the subject play as a sub in a Scottish 4th tier match. Such coverage as exists is in routine game reports or, as Fram says, supra-local coverage: for example, Stirling Observer articles are "badged" online as Daily Record. I really don't see that that the subject's career as youth footballer and then semi-pro has demonstrably attained notability. AllyD (talk) 19:50, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 10:29, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:SPORTBASIC due to lack of significant coverage despite the WP:REFBOMB giving an illusion that Burns is covered well. Upon assessing all of the article's sources, none of them are anything better than a few mentions of scoring goals in match reports for semi-pro/amateur fixtures.

Delete, sources do not support GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 18:08, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, not enough significant coverage to pass GNG. Frank Anchor 00:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete sourcing doesn't seem to be sufficient per WP:SPORTBASIC. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 03:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
