Clear case of WP:BLP1E, meeting all three criteria. The coverage is not that significant either, so WP:GNG is not really met. bonadea contributions talk 07:15, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage was plentiful in 2010. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike1980McN (talk • contribs) 11:27, 5 September 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]
Someone who thinks winning a million from a ten pound bet is not significant is bizarre. This can be researched with Titanbet 100 million mania. Envy is not a reason to ask for a post deleted. Wikipedia needs to have facts not opinions.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike1980McN (talk • contribs) 11:33, 5 September 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on your big win :-) Wikipedia does have rather strict notability requirements, though. Nobody is doubting that you did win the money and that it was in the papers at the time, but that actually strengthens the original point, that the subject of the article is known for one single event only - please have a look at that link. Many people win lots of money, but unless they are also notable for some other reason, that is probably not sufficient for a Wikipedia article. Please also read this information. Thanks! --bonadea contributions talk 11:40, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Regardless of the outcome of the AfD, the article should be redirected to Michael McNally (born 1980) as opposed to its current title. Aerospeed (Talk) 22:13, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no: if the AfD result is "delete" it we don't need to worry about its title; if it survives it should be at Mike McNally (gambler) or Mike McNally (competition winner), as the 3 sources all use that name. And a hatnote would be needed at Mike McNally. PamD 12:34, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Mike - bonadea is correct. A single event does not establish notability. Hopefully you've used that money to do something very good for humankind, and when that is completed, you may be considered notable. LaMona (talk) 20:05, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
