Comment subject seems real, I couldn't say how notable, but article seems to contain large elements of spoof/fantasy mixed in. "A young man named Fiona Blee"?? Flapdragon 02:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Close to A1 or G7. --JJay 02:44, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have cleaned up the article getting rid of the nonsense after the first paragraph, adding references and turning it into a cricket-bio stub. This fellow is a semi-notable cricketer playing for the Canberra Comets in the Cricket Australia Cup. For mine, this does not meet the notability criteria for cricket as this is the secondary cricket competition after the Pura Cup. Delete as not yet notable. If it is kept, move to Josh Kentwell.

Delete per above. -- NSLE _{(Communicate!)} ^<Contribs> 06:03, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. NPOV, verifiable. Cricinfo has a profile on him. Regarding the notability criteria for cricket: Canberra does not field a team in the Pura Cup, so it could be argued that this is the primary cricket competition for the ACT. Snottygobble | Talk 00:36, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as rewritten. Flapdragon 01:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I'm not sure exactly what is meant by "notability criteria for cricket", but Snottygobble's argument is lousy (articles for Northern Territory Football League players?), and Kentwell doesn't fit the sportsperson criteria at WP:BIO. JPD (talk) 09:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep this please he is a professional sports person the article looks really nice now too Yuckfoo 18:29, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep obscure but WP isn't harmed by including this. Klonimus 23:25, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and I'll write up something on Cricket Australia Cup in the next day or so. -- Ian ≡ talk 01:45, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to a suitable topic which better satisfies WP:V, WP:RS. Also, doff hat at Capitalistroadster for his display of uncommon class. encephalon 01:48, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
