[edit] P McCabe

Nominated for speedy deletion as A7, but the text may be asserting notability within a limited area - ie schoolboy Rugby Union. It would be useful if people with knowledge of this area (or willing to do a bit of research) could comment. Technical nomination - no opinion from me.➨ ЯЄDVERS 11:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete and so tagged - all it asserts is that he's a good high school rugby player. NawlinWiki 12:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
  • It actually asserts notability as a national player. Ansell 13:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Userfy Neutral so far. with note about lack of notability. It would hurt the user to speedy the article, it will not destroy Wikipedia by staying there while discussion is continued. Ansell 12:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• If it stays, please oh please follow Naming conventions and rename it to Patrick McCabe (rugby player). - Mgm|^(talk) 12:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, no assertion of notability. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 13:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
  • It actually asserts notability as a national player. Ansell 13:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't think playing in the national schoolboys team is quite enough. JPD (talk) 13:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Is it feasible to have decent articles about national schoolboys teams as a whole? How are National Under 21 teams thought of on Wikipedia? Ansell 22:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete asserts notability, but not credibly. We have no deadline, let's see if his career fulfills the early promise. Just zis Guy you know? 15:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete but no bias against recreation of article if he makes more of a name for himself in Australian rugby such as making a Super 14 team. I removed the speedy tag as playing for Australia is an assertion of notability. Capitalistroadster 22:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 22:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete insufficiently notable at present, come back some other time. Jammo (SM247) 23:21, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Sorry, but non-notable at this stage. According to the article, his highest achivement to date is to have played in one Australian Schoolboys team as a substitute, which I'm sure is a huge personal accomplishment but IMO, not encylopaedic material. I'd also have no objection to recreation at a later date after he achieves a few more career milestones. -- I@n ≡ talk 03:58, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I wrote this page, it deserves to stay, one day he'll be playing first grade and Super 14 and then I'll update it. And there was already a 'Patrick McCabe' and I didnt know how to do the entry, so could someone change the title to the full name, thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rattlesnake6646 (talk • contribs).

• Comment He is not notable at present, despite any future likelihood of notability. Inchoate notability is simply not enough. Jammo (SM247) 10:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
