Non-notable Australian rules footballer who does notmeet WP:ATHLETE; i.e. does not play and has not played in a fully professional league and does not play at the highest possible level (i.e. the Australian Football League). No independent reliable sources asserting notability have been provided. Mattinbgn\talk 22:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as he doesn't play for a professional league. Tavix (talk) 00:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep if we are to be consistent. He plays for the Port Melbourne FC, which is a professional club, in the second division VFL. He did have a year with the Adelaide FC, but did not play any matches. Borderline, but appears to meet what I regard to be very liberal guidelines for sportpersons notability. --Michael Johnson (talk) 01:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Port Melbourne is not a fully professional club and the VFL is not a fully professional league. There would be few, if any VFL players who make their living out of playing football in the VFL, which is basically a hybrid second tier league/AFL reserve grade competition.  The sportsperson hurdle is low, but not this low. -- Mattinbgn\talk 01:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Notability issues prevent inclusion at this stage.-- VS talk 03:10, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Lack of appearances at AFL level means he fails WP:ATHLETE. While there are exceptions to this they usually relate to players who may have won significant awards or claim greater notability than Bonaddio (eg. Magarey Medal winners at SANFL level).

 * Delete. Is mentioned in many news stories due to participation in some games, but no significant coverage with enough info to build an article on. Bill (talk 00:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
