Michael Walters (Australian footballer)[edit]

Previously prodded and then de-prodded by enthusiastic fan of AFL. However as for many similar articles being created this article is also problematic from a WP:Crystal perspective and it appears to fail WP:Athlete as subject has not competed at the fully professional level of this sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport. If (when) subject reaches standards required recreation will be suitable however to simply put these names directly into mainspace at this time is inappropriate. --VS ^talk 16:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article has sufficient RS to prove notability. And can the enthusiastic nominator please play the ball, not the man.The-Pope (talk) 23:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Every year we have the same debates, and every year we come to the same conclusion that it's a lot simpler to keep the articles. He will be on the list for the whole of next season, making him one of only 44 players to be able to play for Fremantle next season. - Allied45 (talk) 01:21, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This appears to pre-empt the outcome and is not helpful, particularly seeing that at least some of this year's crop are actually being deleted. "We" haven't necessarily come to the same conclusion this year. Murtoa (talk) 06:21, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
