The article is currently very weak, with a lack of sourcing to independent reliable sources, so I see a case for merging it to a list until more sources are found. But the subject is notable, so the page and its history should not be deleted. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:38, 6 February 2012 (UTC) 
 * Keep. Meets WP:NSPORT Generally acceptable standards "participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics". In this case, he played for the Ireland national Australian rules football team, which is the highest level of competition for Australian rules football.

 * Keep: Sorry about the copy paste from other ones. After the second one, I realised I wasn't going to write up each individual vote.  The tournament is the major international amateur competition for Australian rules football, which uses a modified rule set to allow the game to be more readily adapted for use where Australian rules isn't as popular.  The tournament is televised in Australia and receives media coverage in the Herald Sun and The Age.  It is also covered on the AFL's website.  It is likely that if these sources were searched, this player would be mentioned. It passes WP:NSPORT and there is a possibility it may pass WP:GNG. --LauraHale (talk) 05:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete the AFL International Cup is purely a development league played by amateurs and is a much lower level of play than most suburban leagues, it is nowhere near the "highest level of competition for Australian rules football". None of the references provided are significant coverage in major independent reliable sources. The-Pope (talk) 15:46, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
