Prod declined with claims that WP:Athlete are met, but the player has made no appearances for a professional club as the Brisbane Premier League is semi-professional. Player fails notability guidelines as there is no significant coverage from reliable sources that I could find. Camw (talk) 15:57, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No assertion of notability. Spiderone 08:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. No assertion of notability, and I likewise didn't find anything - except that, when I clicked the link to the player's WP club entry, Souths United FC, I found the entire text was a copyvio. It is now a one-sentence stub, and may face a similar notability issue. hamiltonstone (talk) 03:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:ATHLETE as he hasn't made an appearance with the Roar (or another A-League team) yet. Recreate if and when he does. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 23:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Delete - non-notable player who fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 16:55, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
