Weak Keep While I agree professional sports people are inherantly notable, the article really REALLY needs some expansion. Jcuk 01:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe that would be possible --> Adelaide: 1996-98, 2 games, 0 goals. His carrer stopped after 2 games w/ 0 goals. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 11:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Where are there reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability? Where is the content, analysis or even sporting stats? I think Edward321 has a "woeful lack of knowledge" when it comes the notability criteria for sports bios. --Gavin Collins 19:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Woeful lack of knowledge? I'm directly using the notability criteria you linked. The very first thing said under Athletes is 'Competitors who have played in a fully professional league', which this person has. The other things you list - secondary sources, etc. are things that make an article better, but that is a seperate issue from notability. If notability meant what you think it does then every stub should be deleted as non-notable. Edward321 04:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:BIO for athletes having played at the top level of his sport. -- Whpq 19:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. - Ukulele 21:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep played professional sports at top level, so merits an article. Some further info and refs would be useful though. -- MightyWarrior 21:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete Just passes WP:BIO but fails, I think, WP:NOTE. WP:BIO does say "However, it is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception." Common sense should rule here, I think. --Malcolmxl5 21:45, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Satisfies the requirements for WP:BIO. References should be included to denote his (admittedly brief) career stats, but this is a separate cleanup issue distinct from notability requirements. --Craw-daddy | T | 11:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I noticed someone has added a reference to his career stats since I last looked at the page last night. --Craw-daddy | T | 11:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
