Rhys O'Keeffe
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Football player who does not meet WP:ATHLETE having never played a first team match in the fully professional Australian Football League. He has now been cut from the Carlton list so it is unlikely now that ever will. Regardless, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.

The previous AfD is quite interesting reading as a example of how arguments for keeping an article based on the subject surely becoming notable in the future quite often turn out to be wrong. Mattinbgn (talk) 11:03, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE and seems that he never will. It will be interesting if this has any affect on the new articles that will surely be created in the wake of the upoming 2010 AFL Draft. Jenks24 (talk) 11:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: WP:GNG not met in that significant coverage does not exist in reliable sources. If a list of Carlton draftees exists, then it could be redirected there.  This SHOULD have no bearing on the upcoming draft - evaluation of those articles should be done based on [WP:GNG]] principles, not WP:ATHLETE as it is obviously impossible for a new draftee to satisfy ATHLETE before the season starts.

 * Delete - He did play four games in the semi-professional SANFL & may well head back there and add to his tally but I would argue that atm, he's non-notable. --Roisterer (talk) 00:26, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ATHLETE. StAnselm (talk) 04:22, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
