This is a third "mass deletion" of rugby league players who fail notability guidelines (WP:NSPORTS), following on from Articles for deletion/Tyer Allen and Articles for deletion/Abraham Cohen (rugby league). These players have played international rugby league but for a country that plays at such a low level it does not meet notability requirements (eg USA or Japan). I have also discussed the matter at the WikiProject. Mattlore (talk) 05:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because none of these players play, or have played, at a notable level - either international test or World Cup football or in the NRL or SL:


 * Delete all To make one thing clear in advance: playing international rugby league is not an automatic conferral of notability like it can be in some other sports. Only a few nations take rugby league seriously. Having reviewed this list on the Rugby League wikiproject a few days ago, I am very confident that these players are entirely amateur, ordinary people. The articles should be deleted. --Mkativerata (talk) 05:24, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete All - as per nom and Mkativerata, none of these meet WP:GNG. Codf1977 (talk) 06:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all except for Roman Ovchinnikov he has played for Russia, who are members of the RLIF and has had some experience with the Wests TigersYoundbuckerz 11:07, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that on the face of the article WP:NSPORTS would suggest that he is likely to be notable, however a on him turns up very little, and with the only ref (if you can call it that) on the page is to the Russian RL, (in Russian) there is no independent reliable sources on him. Do you have anything that could be added ? - if not then, at this time it should still be deleted (as fails WP:GNG) with no bar to re-creation if independent reliable sources on him are found.

 * Is there an english source to say he played for the Russian national team in a competitive international match? Trialling with the Tigers isn't notable - only NRL games. If so, i'll remove him from this list. Mattlore (talk) 20:46, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
