Munro never played at a fully professional level in Scotland - East Fife F.C. and Cowdenbeath F.C. are semi-professional clubs - and therefore fails WP:ATHLETE. There is only incidental coverage (match reports, team lineups) using a search with the club he played for most. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 18:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:ATHLETE and no other reason for notability. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  20:39, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - (I was the user who removed the prod) although it might not technically pass WP:ATHLETE, this sort of article highlights the weakness of that rather than the non-notability of the person concerned. There is plenty of coverage in reliable sources that indicate the verifiability of the article, and the quantity of games (well over 100 Scottish League Div 2/3 games) played make him (in my eyes at least) far more worthy of an article than someone who has stepped across the white line as a sub for 5 minutes at "pro" level. Also East Fife were prepared to pay a £10000 fee for him. Some of the BBC articles found by a simple Google search are more than just match reports, line-ups etc, for instance it is noted when he was released from Cowdenbeath. - fchd (talk) 07:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - there is only one result which mentions him outside of a match report, when he was transfer listed by Cowdenbeath along with two other players. I don't think this qualifies as significant coverage. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:37, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete doesn't seem to have played at required level yet. Previous user's comments notwithstanding, if we don't draw a line in the sand there is no criteria to meet and we'll have my 6yr old with his own page before we know it (he's actually quite good you know!). I'd rather see a 'pedia with worthwhile info. re-create if an when-- Club Oranje Talk 10:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Playing 135 games for East Fife is just as notable as playing 135 games for a small Conference team. It's just not enough. Bettia   (rawr!)  14:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:N per fchd. Nfitz (talk) 02:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - clearly fails WP:ATHLETE and I think he fails WP:N. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:37, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:ATHLETE is designed to help guide the application of WP:BIO by reliably predicting who is and is not likely to meet it. If an athlete has not played in a fully professional league, but has multiple nontrivial reliable third party sources about him or her, that makes a fine article.  Show me those here, and I'll change my opinion. gnfnrf (talk) 14:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
