The information listed here is false. The current president of the IFA is Raymond Kennedy. The current chairman of Crusaders FC is Stephen Bell. Thus, all of the information listed for Jim Semple here isn't true. Giantsjs2000 (talk) 05:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - the article seems to be not so much false as out of date - see these clips from 2000 and 2003; but if he is no longer in those posts, even after a search I don't see enough notability to sustain an article. JohnCD (talk) 18:13, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. GiantSnowman 18:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - firstly, just because the article is out of date doesn't mean the person in question is no longer notable - I would advise you to read WP:NTEMP. Secondly, I believe that Semple's roles as both a player and chairman with Crusaders, as well as his presidency of the IFL, means he is a notable football figure.

 * Keep and expand - changed my !vote, GiantSnowman is right. JohnCD (talk) 19:56, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Article rewritten to say "former" chairman, president; refs added. JohnCD (talk) 18:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - being former president of the league is notable. I also see there are some references above to him also being a former player of Crusaders - it would be good if they could be added to the article. Eldumpo (talk) 18:20, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
