Non-notable rugby league player, sources from Google and Google News suggest a small incident with a touch judge, as well as a few international games for Lebanon. While the WikiProject Rugby league believes players that are internationals are notable, they need sources to make them notable as themselves not just by the fact they play for an international team. The article is also out of date, the external link is dead, he has not played one game for the St George Illawarra Dragons, (which was contested in the prod as being a professional team which it is, but he hasn't played for). Notability seems to be based around the fact he has played for these teams and not why. See WikiProject Rugby league guidelines.    The Windler      talk   06:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:ATHLETE by playing in a fully professional league. A ridiculously over-legalistically worded essay produced by a Wikiproject doesn't override a guideline. I would, however, commend the rugby league project on being strict about inclusion, in contrast to a project that tries claim notability for thousands of sportspeople who fail WP:ATHLETE.

 * Keep. Satisfies WP:ATHLETE. Surely an international cap counts as competing at a professional level. decltype (talk) 06:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
