Cathal McCarthy[edit]

Hurler, fails WP:ATHLETE, does not play in a fully professional league. Only claim to notability is that he is the son of Charlie McCarthy a major professional hurler, but as is stated in WP:BIO notability is not inherited.

Delete per nom. - no independent notability. JohnCD (talk) 22:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Their is no professional league thus different standards apply , please read about the topic before making claims of notability but fails WP:GAA guidelines as he doesn't seem to have played at Senior level.Gnevin (talk) 22:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:BIO. Note: The nom states "delete because does not play in a fully professional league". Per Gnevin however, this criteria does not apply here - because the sport in question is wholly amateur. The ATHLETE criteria that applies therefore is "competed at the highest level in amateur sport". This however appears to fail. As, as per Gnevin, this would seem to expect that, for an automatic pass on WP:ATHLETE, the player who need to have played for their county at a senior GAA level. Again, on it's own, a fail of WP:ATHLETE is not automatically a reason for a delete. However, the subject also appears to fail the general WP:BIO criteria of "substantial coverage". (There is SOME "trivial coverage" in match reports/etc for minor GAA games. But these are largely "passing references" that do not add to notability directly.)
