I would be surprised if someone with 53 international appearances failed to pass GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:25, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find anything in local media beyond passing mentions but I tend to agree with you. I did find this interview for what it's worth. For those looking for more sources, he appears to sometimes be referred to as George Yellowman Isaac. He was also manager of Cayon Rockets.

I bet @Das osmnezz can find a thing or two. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 23:02, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per BeanieFan11 and the source above. He was clearly significant figure in St Kitts and Nevis football having been third highest appearance maker and score ever and one of few St Kitts players to ever play abroad, in Asia. In addition, he definielty has offline sources having had a 15+ pro career including stints in Trinidad and Tobago and Hong Kong top flights. Article needs improvement, not deletion.

Delete Fails GNG as all I could find is passing mentions. The concacaf.com article isn't independent of Isaac and therefore doesn't count. Dougal18 (talk) 13:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 14:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep he has 53(!) appearances on the senior national team, which is the third most in St. Kitts and Nevis team history. This is a case where WP:IAR and WP:COMMONSENSE need to be used. Frank Anchor 14:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A minor football team with minimal coverage... Giant Snowman 15:08, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not that minor - only 5 years ago they were ranked 73rd in the world - higher then than a team from the same federation in this year's World Cup. Nfitz (talk) 06:04, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unfortunately. I thought there'd be something out there but I can't find it. Nothing in St Kitts newspaper archives, nothing about his time at W Connection or Happy Valley. Despite what I said above, I need a policy-based argument for keep. If anything substantial is found, I'll consider changing my vote. As it is, there's nothing policy-based here to indicate we should keep, sorry. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 15:21, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am with Dougal, MOTG, and GS here; the fact that someone played #NUMBER of games for #TEAM is irrelevant if there is no coverage to demonstrate they actually received substantial attention for such an accomplishment. JoelleJay (talk) 04:05, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
