David Harris (Rugby League Player, Parade College Raiders)[edit]

Contested Prod (I'd originally prodded it, in case anyone's curious) which was removed without comment by an anon. There's no assertion of notability here, for the simple reason that the player in question is only potentially going to have a bright career in the code. Sorry to clog up the works here, so if someone could perhaps slap a Speedy on it (my own attempt at db-bio'ing him was removed by the same anon with the same lack of reason), I'd be much obliged BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 09:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The speedy was already removed twice (it shouldn't have been added back after the first one), as was the prod (is it proper to add that after a speedy is removed, I wouldn't think so). Live with it. I don't care whether it stays or not, just play by the rules. But 92.2 kg? Give me a break. Where'd that supposed precision come from; looks like something just made up to me.

I added the second speedy tag after coming across the article in the newpages list. In retrospect, I should have checked the page history to see if it had been so tagged before, but I didn't. The prod was not (at least at the time I moved this to AfD) removed twice. I added it based on the fact that the speedy had been removed (twice, in the event) without any assertion of notability in fact added, so the original author or anyone had the full five days. When it was removed, I brought it here. What I meant by the phrase "to slap a Speedy on it" wasn't "to add a CSD tag to the article again", but rather "to speedily delete this article despite its appearance at AfD", something which frequently occurs for things which have only turned up here because of process. To say that I'm not "playing by the rules" is, to me, either an assumption of bad faith or something sailing remarkably close to that area.

Speedy delete - playing in a school side isn't an assertion of notability. I'll see if I can get that speedy tag to stick. MER-C 11:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
