[edit] Fergus O'Higgins

Fergus O'Higgins (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested speedy. Article does not establish any noteability of the subject beyond being junior player of the Dublin Wanderers Rugby football team. The creator of the article contested the speedy deletion, with the following argument:

The page I ceated concerning Fergus O'Higgins should certainly not be deleted. Mr. O'Higgins is extremely well known in Dublin and Irish sporting circles. It is also increasingly probable that he will in future become a professional player for Leinster, an Irish province, currently competing in top flight European rugby, boasting such stars as Brian O'Driscoll, Gordon D'Arcy and Felipe Contepomi. The reason I know of him is because I am an avid fan and season ticket holder of Leinster and a member of the Leinster fan club, on whose message boards he has been extensively discussed.

No sources have been provided, the only thing I found through google was a story about the youth teams tour of tolouse, from the Wanderers homepage. In short, it does not appear that this meets WP:NOTE or WP:BIO. Dr bab 16:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
