Luke Walker (Rugby Player)[edit]

This article is about a player in a Victorian amateur Rugby Union club called Harlequins (not to be confused with the English club Harlequin F.C.). Rugby Union is weak in Victoria and this player is not notable. Grahame (talk) 02:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Athletes. Appears to be a vanity article created by Lhwal2. WWGB (talk) 02:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator, union hardly scores a presence in Victoria, if he made the Wallabies squad then we'll look into this :P Non notable Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 05:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. More wannabe than Wallaby. WWGB (talk) 11:50, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Definitely looks like there’s a conflict of interest from the author. Must be said though that there are some pro rugby players running around in Victorian leagues especially since the Melbourne Rebels. IRANZ too is a significantly important facility where many future professionals are developed and not just anyone can attend. He may become something but at the moment he’s notoriety is questionable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trippie99 (talk • contribs) 13:05, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, rugby is not as weak in Victoria as some of those above are suggesting (with crowds of 50,000+ at test matches at Telstra Dome), but this particular player is a long way off meeting the notability standard. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 01:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]
