Pat Sheahan (publican)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Played for Auckland (what team, what level?) and New Zealand Barbarians but both fall short of WP:NRU. Lacks coverage about Sheahan in multiple independent reliable sources. One of a glut of articles on seemingly non notable St Peter's College old boys. Wikipedia is not a webhost for a collection bios of a schools former students. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:49, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep According to a source in the article, and the article itself, he captained the Auckland provincial rugby side, and played first-class rugby in New Zealand. This alone makes him notable. Article could use a bit of a clean up, but meets GNG and very hard to argue he is non-notable. WP:NRU is rubbish, and should be used with caution. Have to AGF with the offline source, but am happy to keep. --  Shudde  talk 11:54, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak keep He captained a first-class rugby team in New Zealand; the notification rules for rugby don't really cover the amateur era, but Auckland is a long-lasting and very successful team so it's a significant role in one of the world's leading rugby nations. Sources will be offline in New Zealand papers and magazines. If kept, article should be renamed to Pat Sheahan (rugby player). --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
