editHas he played first-grade yet, and if not then technically he is not eligible for an article.Londo06 07:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- He is in the first grade squad but hasn't played yet - we keep hearing that his debut is going to be soon. --Wikitoov (talk) 18:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Not gonna come from me, but someone will probably put it up for speedy deletion as he hasn't played in the NRL yet. I'd defo save it to your sandbox just to be sure and recreate it once he takes the field for Manly. Looking at the depth of their first-grade squad I'd imagine he'd get a run-out at some point in 2010.Londo06 19:12, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you, I didn't realise that he had to have played in the NRL to get an article. But I suppose the line has to be drawn somewhere! I'll copy and paste the contents in case it gets deleted, so it can be put back up when he finally makes his debut. --Wikitoov (talk) 20:51, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Just as a FYI here are WP:RL's notability guidelines [1], but remember that they are a guide only. This article does have sources and he has played at schoolboy level so that might be enough to save it if it was contested. Mattlore (talk) 21:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Mattlore, those guidelines are very helpful and I'll follow them for any articles I create in the future. Little Hoppa has been getting a fair bit of coverage so he might meet the general notability guideline, but I take on board your caution that it is a guide only. Hopefully he'll be put in the team this weekend to put it beyond doubt! --Wikitoov (talk) 22:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Just a note, I did take that into mind before I approved the article. I figured being signed to the highest level was enough for WP:ATH. However, I created an article once about a person signed and had payed in preseason games, but he was deleted.--SKATER Speak. 23:59, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
