Totally unsourced; doesn't assert its notability. The removal of a PROD was simply a "routine" removal, by the creator of the article. It was unexplained. Porcupine (prickle me!) 15:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete lacks notability. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 15:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep professional footballer who has played internationally = competing at the highest level. Nuttah68 17:35, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep He's played for the Pirates 40 times [1]. He's also mentioned on Reuters [2] and Fifa.com [3]. Operating 17:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 18:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Seems notable enough to me, though it could do with a bit of a shake-up. - PeeJay 18:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, if reliable references are provided for South Africa game or the 40 odd games for the Pirates, then the player is verifiably notable as per WP:BIO. King of the North East (T/C) 18:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The guy is a South African international and therefore completely notable. Number 57 20:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Mdledle has played in a fully professional league for Orlando Pirates (as recently as 22 September: http://www.supersoccer.co.za/results_1.asp?id=794) and at the highest level (in past South Africa national team matches). Jogurney 21:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment. There's no AfD template on the article. --Malcolmxl5 21:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Member of national team, played in fully professional league. Not to mention, the lack of an AfD template on the page would pretty much speedy overturn a deletion in DRV. Smashville 22:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've now added the AfD template to the article. This is procedural and I don't endorse the nomination ChrisTheDude 22:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong and Obvious Keep Article certainly needs work, but he's an athlete who has competed at the highest level, both professionally and internationally. What possible rationale for deletion could there be? Doesn't assert notability? Are you serious? faithless (speak) 06:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
