I dont agree with this request for deletion. Our players have accomplished a lot in order to be on our national team and it is unfortunate that because we are a small country our players do not have the best sources. Some of players have played and competed at high levels across the globe and take time and their own money to fly and compete for their country of heritage. --Lebanonrugbymedia (talk) 19:34, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the mistake is to treat a Wikipedia page as a prize for hard work or something that one's entitled to, nor is it something for less famous people to get publicity. Wikipedia has clear and specific guidelines on what constitutes notability and I don't see how either player meets the guidelines. Ytoyoda (talk) 21:48, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
