The article is currently very weak, with a lack of sourcing to independent reliable sources, so I see a case for merging it to a list until more sources are found. But the subject is notable, so the page and its history should not be deleted. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:32, 6 February 2012 (UTC) 
 * Keep. Meets WP:NSPORT Generally acceptable standards "participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics". In this case, he played for the Ireland national Australian rules football team, which is the highest level of competition for Australian rules football.
 * Comment International Aussie rules is hardly a major international amateur competition. It doesn't even get a mention on Australian rules football Gnevin (talk) 09:36, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep: Weak keep based on sport notability. The tournament does receive coverage in Australia as an international tournament.  Australia is prohibited by rules from participating and there is a modified version of the game which allows Australians who play Aussie rules to compete against Irish who play GAA code.   See mention of athlete and tournament in the Herald Sun.  He was also mentioned in the Australian newspaper for Irish expats.  He is also mentioned on the AFL's website.  So while he may not be playing the top level, his international appearance for Ireland makes him notable. --LauraHale (talk) 05:04, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete the AFL International Cup is purely a development league played by amateurs and is a much lower level of play than most suburban leagues, it is nowhere near the "highest level of competition for Australian rules football". None of the references provided are significant coverage in major independent reliable sources. The-Pope (talk) 15:33, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
