[edit] Leo Clijsters

non notable father of a tennis player Delete --Aranda56 02:06, 11 September 2005 (UTC) Keep per below --Aranda56 00:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Being related to a notable person does not make someone notable. I was going to redirect this to his daughter, but I have no problem deleting it either. —Cryptic (talk) 02:28, 11 September 2005 (UTC) Keep per below. —Cryptic (talk) 09:40, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand as notable soccer player. Played in the 1986 World Cup and 1990 World Cup for Belgium see [1].

Apparently, he won Belgium's golden boot award as a soccer player in 1988 see [2]. He is notable enough as a soccer player to warrant an article. Capitalistroadster 03:23, 11 September 2005 (UTC) PS. Our Belgium national football team credits Clijsters with 40 internationals. Capitalistroadster 03:28, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Kim Clijsters. – AxSkov (☏) 07:39, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand. He deserves a page a a soccer player. If it wasn't for this it would be a clear redirect to his daughter. --Apyule 09:26, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand per the Capster. Alf ^melmac 09:30, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Capitalistroadsterand and Alf, seems sufficiently notable. PatGallacher 09:36, 2005 September 11 (UTC)
• Keep per Capitalistroadsterand --rob 10:20, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand not only was he a notable soccer player in the Belgian national team and winner of the MVP award, he was also the captain of K.V. Mechelen during its heydays with which he won the European Cup Winners Cup 1988 and the European Super Cup 1988 and after his playing career, he was manager of several professional soccer teams.

• Keep per Capitalroadster. - Mgm|^(talk) 18:10, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand - This is a very trival case, the person who marked it for deletion didn't do his homework. --WouterVH 21:09, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand - Indeed very trivial case, he was a famous soccer player, his daughter's career isn't what's made him well known. Some public tv footage where Kim Clijsters appears as a child merely exists because of some tv interviews with Lei Clijsters. --LimoWreck 22:46, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep as a notable soccer player. Hall Monitor 20:22, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand - for his soccer achievement and because I love how Wikipedia is the ultimate resource for anything you would ever want to know, especially trivia like this guy. Divad 22:05, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
