Peter Katholos

Not notable. While he was a member of a representative team, the team did not do anything particularly newsworthy. The only significant independent coverage of Peter is in local papers on local soccer teams, and confirmation that he was on the Sydney Olympic FC. No coverage of his impact or performance on the team. Chovain 20:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. Does not provide any proof of notability. Edison 21:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - he played for a team at the top level of his sport in his country. Precedent seems clear for sportspeople. -- Bpmullins | Talk 23:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm led to believe he was a member of the Socceroos - the Australian national football (soccer) team which represents Australia in international football competitions. Article needs more than a week to grow from more than a stub. Josh Parris#: 00:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A Google News Archive search shows he played for Marconi. [1]. He also played for the Socceroos in friendlies against England and New Zealand in 1983. [2]. In fact this SBS cache shows that he played between 1981 and 1984 for Australia as well as for several NSL sides. Meets WP:BIO. Capitalistroadster 05:15, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep played for a notable NSL team (Sydney Olympic, and if they're not newsworthy I think that says more about soccer coverage in Australia in the 80s) and the Socceroos! There's some more information at Technik Football which he founded [3]: he played for Canterbury, St George, Sydney Olympic, Larissa (Greece) Apia, Marconi, and Melita from 1976 – 1996. --Canley 06:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think I see a consensus forming here. I'm happy to let it go. (Or do we need to wait longer?) Chovain 07:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
