Have redirected on the basis of failing WP:GNG. Player was previously deemed notable under the WP:NAFL for having played one Victorian Football League game, but this SNG no longer exists after WP:NSPORTS2022. Redirected to the player list article rather than deleted based on previous AfDs for similar situations, e.g. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Graham_Kemp.
All references in the article related to him as a footballer are database, Holmesby & Main, or death notices. Google search for Harold de Gruchy Melbourne shows up database and wikis only [1]. Among those, the Demonwiki (Melbourne Football Club history wiki) includes links to two news articles which mention his name as a footballer, and two routine funeral notices; the only descriptions of him as a footballer were to note that he was from Cumloden College and that he did not have a good game in his sole game – certainly insufficient content to meet GNG. 1899-1901 newspaper search for "de gruchy football melbourne" shows a couple of routine references to football for Cumloden, but nothing beyond WP:ROUTINE[2]. Conclusion is that multiple secondary independent sources do not exist and shall never exist. I have made this change unilaterally as I believe it uncontroversial, but the above would be the basis for an AfD nomination if required. Aspirex (talk) 05:11, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
