Gerry O'Brien[edit]

seems insignificant, and unverifiable. [1] nothing but mirrors. Doc^g 01:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Played in the FA Cup therefore meets WP:BIO and both current and proposed WP:FOOTY notability criteria. But it still needs referencing. Peanut4 (talk) 01:51, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep still. I've found his stats at [2] which show his league career and notability per WP:BIO and WP:FOOTY. Peanut4 (talk) 02:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is that a reliable source?

- But did he play in an FA cup? Or was he only even on the subs bench? And can you find a reliable source to verify any of it?--Doc^g 02:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as aboves above. (if that makes sense :)) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Peanut4 (talk) 02:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does the fact his stats might be worth recording somewhere, mean we should have a biography on this living person. Is there any biographical material that can be reliably sourced to merit this?--Doc^g 02:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strongest possible keep - he played 199 league games in his career. I've now expanded the article and added as many references as I can find. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obviously passes WP:BIO#Athletes. пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 08:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As above clearly passes WP:BIO, great improvements to the article have taken place. Davewild (talk) 08:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Impressive to see such an improvement in the article since nomination, so AfD does have positive outcomes rather than just deleting junk, hooray. King of the North East 08:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - well above the bar of notability for nearly 200 fully professional league appearances. - fchd (talk) 09:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per everyone else. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 11:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per Art and all his friends :-) ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Good research. --Dweller (talk) 12:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
String keep - clearly notable. GiantSnowman (talk) 15:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
