Liam Jones

Appears to fail WP:Athlete as he has not competed at the fully professional level of this sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport. --VS ^talk 11:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. This is one of a combined effort by a couple of editors to delete all articles created on players just drafted into the AFL, with no attempt to allow references to be found. I barely have time to vote on these mass nominations, let alone improve/reference the articles. Basic notability criteria (A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject) trumps WP:Athlete The-Pope (talk) 12:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per VS - WP:Athlete not met and trumps basic notability criteria if that criteria are being applied to that person's sporting career - refs in the paper to sporting achievements need to be subject to the lens of WP:Athlete. --Matilda ^talk 21:58, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:ATHLETE. McWomble (talk) 09:33, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete For all we know he may never play a single game at the highest level. Fleeting mention in footy-mad papers like the Melbourne Herald-Sun for a day or two don't constitute notability. Murtoa (talk) 11:10, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Every year we have the same debates, and every year we come to the same conclusion that it's a lot simpler to keep the articles. He will be on the list for the whole of next season, making him one of only 44 players to be able to play for Western Bulldogs next season. - Allied45 (talk) 01:16, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
