[edit] Rudy Gay

Due to the deletion of Hawkins, who is an Australian rules footballer that hasn't yet been drafted, I thought it would be a case of double standards that an as yet undrafted NBA player hasn't been deleted. Rogerthat Talk 10:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it deserves to be deleted on its own mate. Gay is a prominent college basketball player himself, and if guys like him are getting deleted purely because they're not a 'big name' guy yet, it does nothing but outline the apparent rubbish standards of this site.

Same goes for young Hawkins. Boomtish 10:08, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, this article does not deserve to be deleted, but hopefully it will raise awareness of the Tom Hawkins debacle. See Talk on WikiProject AFL. Rogerthat Talk 10:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 12:40, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Seriously, guys, this isn't cool. Trying to make a point by listing an unrelated article for deletion is just throwing a grenade into a room. Don't do this.--Mike Selinker 15:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • The article isn't great, but Speedy Keep, nominated in bad faith. -Colin Kimbrell 16:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep as WP:POINT-violating nomination. Would be a keep regardless. --Kinu t/c 19:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
