  • Comment. Part of a squad for a first class team that has not yet been selected for a first class match. Has also been selected for indigenous sides see [1] and Queensland youth sides. This is a borderline case as he has coverage in Google News Archive [2] and Google News [3]. Capitalistroadster 02:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep named article here and respectable enough mention regarding a Twenty-20 game.Garrie 05:48, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO, section on Athletes. Sportsmen who've only played for Youth teams aren't notable enough yet, however much people predict great things for them. (And Garrie's Twenty20 citation only says that he was at the game but didn't play!). Stephen Turner (Talk) 08:55, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Capitalroadster's list unfortunately included a lot of articles where he is one of a list of mentioned players - but the two I linked clearly discuss him individually. I think that is sufficient for the primary inclusion criteria at WP:N.
    • If that's what's easily found online I'm sure there's more offline.Garrie 04:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, normally I'd say that as he's not actually played he's not notable enough for inclusion, but the fact that he's in the squad and probably will play in the near term, as well as the other references, makes it good enough for me to keep. Lankiveil 13:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete per cricket notability guidelines. Orderinchaos 23:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete If he's any good he'll soon make his Queensland debut and it can be recreated then. Unless a non first class player does something remarkable or is important in the history of the game then they shouldn't be included. We expect a vast number of first class and list A players to be in without question - quite rightly - so we have to be fair and not add people who don't yet qualify.

  • Comment This would easily qualify as a keep if all the newspaper references to him were included in the article. There are so many (compared to what is usually accepted these days for notability) that he would easily meet the multiple secondary source criteria in WP:BIO irrespective of him not playing representative yet.
