He has some coverage but doesn't appear to meet WP:ATHLETE as there's no evidence he's ever played at the fully professonal level and he is of 'local fame' TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 20:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep WP:ATHLETE is only a guideline, but you could argue his contribution to his field is "enduring" and as you say there are some RS. As a football fan on the other side of the country I know who he is, so it's not just local fame.The-Pope (talk) 00:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment It was a direct quote from the article, "Mornington Football Club in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League of local fame for having kicked over 1,500 goals including 10 seasons" (emphasis added) TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 03:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete semi-pro footballer at best. Never played in any fully professional competition. The rather overblown comparison to Gary Ablett is risible. -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, fails WP:ATHLETE as not being a professional player, and the sources provided about him aren't especially compelling. Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC).
  • Weak keep, although he fails WP:ATHLETE, the guideline there is meant for us to figure out when we can be lazy, and presume the person notable, even if it has not been shown WP:N is met. There are however several mentions in newspapers, and though most are trivial mentions, I believe this just scrapes by WP:N. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 10:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
