Speedy keep There are a lot of nominations for deletions for articles on rugby league footballers where there first name isn't known, I think they should all be nominated in the same AfD. ビッグツリ64 (talk) 21:53, 26 December 2021 (UTC) Block evasion Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:55, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~Strong keep I have not checked in detail, but it seems there is a lot more to this one. The subject was also a rugby union player,^[1] and with non trivial coverage, and it seems a swimmer, also with non trivial coverage.^[2] BTW, the subject's first name is Tas, and played league in 1916 (not 1915).^[3] Aoziwe (talk) 10:02, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I can now confirm that the subject was also a swimmer, and a diver,^[4] and it seems much better known as a swimmer and more notable than as a rugby player. There are a lot more swimming references than rugby union or rugby league references. BeanieFan11. I do not have time right now, but I will do an article on the subject. There is a large amount of material to wade through. Aoziwe (talk) 11:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - added to rugby union sorting due to research from Aoziwe above Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:32, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few of the current/recent "league AfD batch" that also played union, but yes, this one has the highest, and I think notable, profile. Aoziwe (talk) 09:13, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Aoziwe: if he truly is notable, and played multiple sports, could you try to expand the article to reflect that? For I don't think any article with all its content being "T. Jones (birth unknown) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1910s, he played in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL). Jones played with Eastern Suburbs in the 1915 season." should actively be in mainspace. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
See above: keep --> strong keep. Aoziwe (talk) 11:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Significant work done on article. I suggest WP:HEY applies. Article will also need a Move to Tas Jones. BeanieFan11 as requested I hope. I have more to add and will do so over the next week or so. Aoziwe (talk) 13:49, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Nice work. If I knew how to I would withdraw the AFD. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:11, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have a not small amount to still add. I presume someone will see this AfD soon and close it. Aoziwe (talk) 09:56, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
