Contested PROD. Has not made an appearance in a fully professional league so fails WP:ATHLETE. robwingfield«T•C» 20:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO#Athletes. The article can easily be restored if he ever plays professionally. пﮟოьεԻ57 22:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: While WP:ATHLETE is often cited as an exclusive reason for deletion, reading the section heading at Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria is instructional. quoteFailure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included. Waving around WP:ATHLETE criteria as if notability established in normal ways (non-trivial coverage in multiple reputable sources) can be ignored is simply bad for the project. In this case, WP:N is not established; so, it should have been used as the deletion rationale rather than the weaker WP:ATHLETE. Neier (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, like all the other SuperDraft nominations you have made. ugen64 (talk) 20:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
