 * It is not often that I put things up for deletion, but, looking through the recent changes, this article caught my eye. Does this referee deserve an article? I have checked the internet, and, despite being in refereeing for such a long time, he has only ever officiated over very few top-flight games; the BBC lists 16 Premiership games, but perhaps that was only from one season. Nonetheless, I can find nothing remarkable about his life, or any controversial or important decision that he has made; so, I do not really see why this guy deserves an article above any other run-of-the-mill FA referee. If there are compelling reasons, I would love to know (although I am not much of a football fan;) but I cannot see what is notable about him, other than his being a select referee. That should take up a line, not a whole page. IINAG 23:33, 24th August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete--referees aren't inherently notable (indeed, if they do their jobs well, they don't get noticed at all). Meelar (talk) 23:50, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article fails to convince that he was worth an article, & only 1 link to this article. (I guess Meelar is wrong: look at all of those famous referees at Referee (football)!) -- llywrch 00:13, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
