Nigger Hills[edit]

Article semes to be about a rugby player who's only indication of noteability is scoring two rugby caps for Australia. Career spanned only a single season, and he's retired and thus unlikely to gain any further noteability. A google search returns nothing of interest relating to him other than what is displayed in the single external link. Jtrainor (talk) 05:56, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue he's notable for being named Nigger. hare j 05:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per harej. One two three... 06:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the notability guideline for rugby union says that all Australian male test players are presumed notable. 109.154.66.6 (talk) 10:57, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep AIUI, sports notability is extremely low, regarding duration of a career. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:16, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Represented Australia in two international matches, the highest level of his sport. Meets WP:NRU. Jenks24 (talk) 15:04, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - but move to Ernie Hills as all of the newspaper reports of the day refer to him by that name. Quite an interesting guy it seems, 5 mins searching has discovered that we have a Kiwi, living in Melbourne (not a big Rugby Union place) getting selected to play for Australia, then the next year signing up to fight in Korea! A guy of the same name later played Rugby League in Sydney and maybe in England too! All easily referenced if you search in the right place with the right name.

Keep Playing international rugby for Australia is enough. Would change the title per The-Pope. Keep the nickname in the infobox though. AIRcorn (talk) 23:28, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as meets WP:RU/N, but move to Ernie Hills. --Bob247 (talk) 22:13, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as meets WP:RU/N, he played at the highest level for a Tier 1 team. But as with others comments move him to Ernie Hills. FruitMonkey (talk) 07:01, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:NRU. Move the data to article titled, Ernie Hills, as he was referred to. Northamerica1000 (talk) 06:17, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
