Chris Pendergast

This is an unsourced (apart from the subject's personal website) biography of a living person and I do not think that any sources will be found. His claimed sporting achievements are not at a professional level and I do not know of any reliable sources which cover the players in such events with the detail required to write a neutral, verifiable, encyclopaedia article about an individual player. If sources do exist then they will likely take time to find, an unsourced BLP should not be on Wikipedia for any length of time and an article cannot be based only on selfpublished sources.

?Delete maybe? According to the wikipedia article on Gaelic football, "It has strict rules on player amateurism" so that sounds like there will never be "professional" teams anyway. Not sure how to handle that, as it doesn't fit into normal rules, it would seem. You may have to delete simply because the rules of the game almost insure no player is notable, in a way. Perhaps a newspaper will have written about him, but notability can't be automatic. PHARMBOY (TALK) 02:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While searching UK Google news is unlikely to bring up a lot of detail about a gaelic footballer, the standard is playing at the highest amateur level, which he does not do. Stifle (talk) 09:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
