 * Keep - article had sources when it was nominated. Subject played several professional games of Ozzie Rules football in the top league, therefore meets the WP:NSPORTS notability requirements. Sionk (talk) 02:23, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, and suggest withdrawal or SNOW close. The article had sources (and footnoted ones at that) at the time of the nomination, and those sources show that Amos meets WP:NSPORTS. To go off on a bit of a tangent, I'm pretty disgusted with the way this article, by a new contributor, has been treated. If you'll look on his talk, you can see that the creator is a new editor who was actually encouraged to create some articles exactly like this. But in the space of something like 20 minutes, this clearly notable (if anyone had cared to even look up the relevant guideline) article has been nominated for deletion via CSD, PROD and now AfD. No wonder we're struggling to retain new editors. Jenks24 (talk) 02:51, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Nomination by a Twinkle user run amok, it would seem. I note the nominator's history for today includes an attempt at speedy deletion launched against a stub bio of an 18th Century British MP and BLP-Sources tagging of a turn-of-the-20th-Century American labor leader that died in 1908. In this case, played in top league of Ozzie Rules, snow keep. TURN OFF THE AUTOMATED TOOLS AND SLOW DOWN, FRIEND!!! Carrite (talk) 03:53, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:NSPORTS Doctorhawkes (talk) 08:23, 23 February 2012 (UTC
 * Keep sports people who have played in a top-flight league of a notable sport are automatically notable. Has sources to back it up, too. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew
