Josh Schache

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Has not made an appearance in any senior competition and therefore doesn't meet notability criteria User:Melb vict (talk) 23:57, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable - may never play a senior game. Silent Billy (talk) 04:42, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. satisfies GNG, has had detailed stories written about him in major newspapers, not just routine bulk lists of potential draftees. He's a #2 draft selection, not a late round or rookie pick. Even if he never plays an AFL game, he'll be notable as being a #2 pick who never played a game. This isn't WP:FOOTY with it's strict WP:NFOOTY rules - necessary due to the fluid state of playing squads and infinite teams around the world.  This is part of WP:AFL, only 18 teams, only 1 way to get onto a fixed 44 man squad. WP:NAFL is just a guideline. The-Pope (talk) 14:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. I agree with The-Pope. The GNG trumps the subject-specific guidelines and Schache clearly has significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Some examples include:
 * "Josh Schache follows his late father's footsteps", The Age
 * Brisbane Lions-bound Josh Schache follows his dad", The Courier-Mail
 * "Josh Schache the right fit for Brisbane Lions even with the No.2 pick", Herald Sun
 * "Josh Schache ready to be taken early in the draft", 3AW
 * "Lions great Jonathan Brown says fans must be patient with Josh Schache", The Courier-Mail
 * "In the name of the father, Schache officially a Lion", Sunshine Coast Daily
 * This is just from the first page of a Google News search, there's plenty more. Jenks24 (talk) 12:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per The-Pope and Jenks24, also there are plenty of stories from independent sources about him, therefore, meets GNG. Flickerd (talk)
 * Delete citations only talk about him being the son of a notable person. Yet to become notable in his own right.  Is mentioned in the article Laurence Schache, which should be sufficient at this point.Screech1616 (talk) 11:35, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 02:52, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, a lot of the articles mention that he's the son of Laurence Schache, but some of them go into considerably more detail than that.  I think this satisfies the WP:GNG.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC).
