Fails WP:RLN as has not played in a World Cup, NRL or Super League match. Was named in the most recent World Cup but withdrew due to injury before the tournament began. Doesn't seem to have enough to pass GNG otherwise, only routine coverage. Mattlore (talk) 19:30, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong KEEP - has played 15 times for the USA. Pushing for this to be withdrawn by the nominator who must have been unaware.Fleets (talk) 19:36, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a reference to support that statistic. But regardless, he still seems to fail WP:RLN and GNG as, as far as I can tell, he hasn't played in a World Cup, Four Nations European Cup or a Pacific Cup. Happy to withdraw if he has. Mattlore (talk) 20:05, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The official 2017 Rugby League World Cup site states he has 15 prior international caps here. Aoziwe (talk) 11:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:RLN. Was named to play in the World Cup, but withdrew. Doctorhawkes (talk) 21:24, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't meet notability. I automatically presumed all the guys would get a run and didn't consider injury.. Jumped the gun I guess. StadiumXIII (talk) 16:30, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete playing in world cup competition is the test of notability, not being selected to do so and then failing to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:29, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
