The article is currently very weak, with a lack of sourcing to independent reliable sources, so I see a case for merging it to a list until more sources are found. But the subject is notable, so the page and its history should not be deleted. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC) 
 * Keep. Meets WP:NSPORT Generally acceptable standards "participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics". In this case, O'Connor played for the Ireland national Australian rules football team, which is the highest level of competition for Australian rules football.

 * Delete the AFL International Cup is purely a development league played by amateurs and is a much lower level of play than most suburban leagues, it is nowhere near the "highest level of competition for Australian rules football". None of the references provided are significant coverage in major independent reliable sources. The-Pope (talk) 15:36, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete, with due respect to the Keep !vote above, Australian rules football is an unusual situation where the international level is significantly lower quality and professionalism compared to the domestic league in Australia (and probably even some of the Australian state leagues). In this case I don't feel that applying the usual sorts of rules results in a sensible outcome here.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC).
