promotional and not notable -- CSD A7 by another ed. declined, but I might have accepted it  DGG ( talk ) 22:24, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not eligible for speedy, as there are at least two claims of notability. But he doesn't cut sufficient muster for WP:ATHLETE or WP:ENTERTAINER. Pburka (talk) 02:22, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Easily fails WP:GNG. I agree with DGG - probably should have been A7d. --Jersey92 (talk) 02:36, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Has already been speedied previously as an A7. AlanS (talk) 11:03, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * So, any article that has been speedied should always be speedied? McKay (talk) 13:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * It should if it was unchanged. 331dot (talk) 22:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Admins make mistakes. Recreation of a speedily deleted article isn't grounds for speedy deletion on its own. Pburka (talk) 22:57, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it depends on the circumstances. If one is correcting a 'mistake' then that needs to be unambiguously established and not just be a judgement call. 331dot (talk) 23:05, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Does not fail A7, but probably fails WP:GNG, mostly lacking "significant coverage". McKay (talk) 13:13, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, not A7, but a pretty clear failure of WP:GNG. If appearing on TV a couple of times is good enough to make one notable, then even I qualify; quite a ridiculous proposition!  Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:42, 21 August 2014 (UTC).
 * starting that article now, you been be on the wireless as well, and in local newspapers. :) Gnangarra 07:00, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - notability is not inherited. Bearian (talk) 22:40, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - The article has been moved to Matthew Gregory (cricketer). If the result of this discussion is a delete Matthew Gregory (real estate agent) will need to be deleted as well. AlanS (talk) 05:06, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG and fails guidelines for cricketers as well, no 1st class games either in England or Australia and his most notable achievements as a cricketer are for a club that doesnt fulfill the notability requirements... as a RE agent was the best possibility but again not sufficiently notable for that either though the couple of tv appearances would assist in establishing notability in the future should there be some significant occurance in the future. Gnangarra 06:56, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - from a cricketing perspective he fails WP:CRIN as has made no first-class/List A/Twenty20 appearances. The rest fails WP:GNG. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 08:45, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails both WP:CRIN and WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:32, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:CRIN and, separately, WP:GNG. The Whispering Wind (talk) 02:35, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails Notability Guidelines and article looks like a promotion of some company.--Param Mudgal (talk) 15:13, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Looked like it had a possibility of a weak keep with better sourcing and stylistic rewrite, but the notability clearly isn't there and OTHER real estate agents named Matthew Gregory come up before this one when you search him. Cricket career also fails to be notable as well. Upjav (talk) 18:48, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
