Not sufficiently notable. Has a few voluntary roles in sport in Edinburgh that get a handful of references in local press. Besides this is credited with writing a single comedy sketch on BBC One. Article isn't really referenced link to comedy sketch returns 404, other site it just a link to the homepage of one of the organisations he is involved with.

 * Delete, or at a push, Merge to Edinburgh Wolves. We don't normally consider sportspeople outside of the fully professional sector, and I can't see any reason to treat this person any differently, given the limitation of his coverage in GNews to mentions in articles about his team. If someone does find more evidence of notability, the article needs a major rewrite for neutral point of view. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 08:40, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete for now. He may become the Walter Camp of British gridiron football... but he hasn't achieved that yet.  Hope he does, then we can keep!--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:44, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
