[edit] Danny Lennon (Gaelic footballer)

Unreferenced stub on a non-notable Gaelic football player (no references, so fails WP:BIO). He has not played at senior level for his county, so there should be no presumption of notability. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete fails WP:GAA notability guidelines Gnevin (talk) 20:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Where are those GAA notability guidelines, and how and why do they differ from WP:N and WP:BIO? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
    • They aren't anywhere more of unwritten set of guidelines(i can write em down if you wish) and don't differ from WP:N and WP:BIO, just define WP:N of GAA players. Basically, unless other factors come into play GAA players are only notable if they have played a Senior Intercounty championship game Gnevin (talk) 15:29, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Fair enough, an unwritten convention, and it seems to fit with other sports conventions. I'd much prefer if we simply applied WP:N, but sadly there does seem to be a convention of deeming sportspeople notable if they played at a particular level, even if they don't otherwise come with a million miles of passing WP:BIO. That's why wikipedia has so many permatsubs on sportspeople :( ... but I won't argue for the GAA to be an exception to that bad convention! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
