Delete: Completely non-notable; entire bio consists of one line: "He is a Tyrone Gaelic footballer, who was part of the All-Ireland-winning team of 2005." Again, I'll add: Not every player on every winning team in any country is notable or worthy of a page on this encyclopaedia as evidenced by the large number of players on the Tyrone Panel who are red-linked - how important they are !!El chulito 14:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Winning an All Ireland is one the greatest sporting achivement in Ireland (Gnevin 16:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC))
 * Keep He is a winner of the highest national sporting accodale you can get in Ireland! fair enough the article is very poor to say the least - but that is not a reason to delete.--Vintagekits 16:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Other articles' non-presence is not a reason for deletion, and the above comments point out that the individual satisfies WP:BIO. Sourcing would be good but this is not deletable. --N Shar 17:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, Article does not have sufficient contents. I suppose A1 is applicable. Shyam  ( T / C ) 17:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Limited content is not in itself a reason to delete if there is enough context for the article to qualify as a valid stub its clearly a stub so A1 doesn't seem applicable (Gnevin 21:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC))
 * Yes, I do agree with you, the article should be self-sufficient to qualify as a valid stub article, but I do not think that the article qualifies as a valid stub in the current format, because after reading the article, it seems to be non-notable. Either there should be contents to prove its notability or should be deleted. Shyam  ( T / C ) 21:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Now, it is a valid stub. Keep. Shyam  ( T / C ) 21:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable Irish sportsman, who won the greatest prize in Irish sport. Derry Boi 18:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
