Unsourced BLP. Prod was contested. Prodreason was "Fails WP:Athlete inclusion criteria as it seems he never played in a fully professional team. No significant media coverage found, so WP:Notability guidelines are not met either." I agree with the prodreason. The player has a good number of games in the Victorian Premier League, but that is not a fully professional league. As it stands now te article is not notable enough for inclusion.

 * Delete - I was the editor who placed the prod on the article, so my reasoning is per the prod. Camw (talk) 13:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * The Victorian Premier League is professional and is considered as the second highest mens soccer league in Australia. 21:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC:
 * Can you please provide a reliable source showing that the VPL is a fully professional league? That would certainly change things, but I was under the impression that it was semi-professional, with most players deriving the majority of their income from other sources.

 * VPL players average only $10,000 - $20,000 a year but a majority of them have played for a professional club or in the defunct NSL. VPL players should be able to have an article even if they haven't played in the NSL because the VPL is regarded one of the highest leagues in Australia behind the A-league.
 * This player doesn't seem to have played in the NSL, so that argument doesn't apply. If the player does not meet the WP:Athlete guideline (playing in a fully professional league) then they need to meet the WP:Notability guidelines which state that the subject must have received significant coverage from reliable sources, and as far as I can see, this player hasn't.
