A contested Prod. Wilkinson fails to meet WP:RLN as has not played in the Super League and the article does not meet the GNG in any other way. Mattlore (talk) 19:48, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - He has played professionally in a professional league, in a professional team.Fleets (talk) 21:37, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy keepper WP:SKCRIT. The nominator's statement is contradicted by the article, which verifies that he played for the Salford Red Devils, which is in the Super League, which therefore means he meets WP:RLN. Unless there's something wrong in these points, I would ask the nominator to withdraw this. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:56, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * He has not played in a match for Salford yet and it is not stated in the article or the articles source that he has. – skemcraig⊗ 22:31, 24 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete as according to the one source provided in the article, he has not played a match for Salford and therefore fails RLN as Halifax and Crusaders are not currently in the Super League, or even fully pro. – skemcraig⊗ 22:30, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep as he is on a professional football team. GSMR (talk) 22:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I suggest you read WP:RLN, being on the books of a professional team is not good enough for an article. He must play at least one match for them, which as of right now, he hasn't. – skemcraig⊗ 22:45, 24 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, if he hasn't in fact played, that's a different story. Article states he has. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:RLN as he's only played at semi-pro level. J Mo 101 (talk) 18:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per the WP:RLN failure. Playing for a "professional team" isn't relevant here. Number   5  7  22:21, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
