[edit] John Kelly (golfer)

non-notable sports figure (and belly dancer) Akradecki 22:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable, and fails WP:BIO. He's an amateur golfer at best, and although there are some champion amateur golfers, he's not one of the top. --Nishkid64 23:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Being a situp champion doesn't really cut it either. Dsreyn 00:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Finalist in United States Men's Amateur Golf Championship, can't get much higher than that in the world of amatuer golf, that's a couple of putts away from entry into the Masters. Catchpole 06:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete a notch below what I would consider as notability for amateur golfers. The stuff about belly dancing and situps is nonsense, both cannot be true. MLA 09:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Catchpole (on a trivial note, the situps and belly dancing factoids were referenced frequently during television coverage, and it rather seems that the former, at the very least, is accurate; of course, that's altogether irrelevant to the notability discussion...).

  • Comment FWIW, the disposition of this article should likely devolve onto Dillon Dougherty, whom I can in no way distinguish from Kelly. Joe 04:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Might be a little late here, but seems like the admins haven't closed it yet and are waiting for a few more people to comment on this. I agree with Nishkid64. He isn't notable enough to meet wikipedia standards despite his achievements. zephyr2k 17:49, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Catchpole. Finalists in the United States Men's Amateur Golf Championship are surely notable, much more so than inanimate sticks of carbon which made one-time appearances in an episode of The Simpsons.  ;-) RFerreira 20:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep The US Amateur runner-up gains entry into the next year's US Open, and usually gets an invitation to the Masters as well. For the next year at least, he'll be one of the more notable amateur golfers. Carl Lindberg 13:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
