The player does not meet the criteria for inclusion as per WP:NRU he has only played 1 season for a club in a minor championship and has not played in a major international competition Domdeparis (talk) 21:07, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

I don't see the point of deleting this article now. This is a young player with several caps for Georgia, which is currently ranked 11th in the world. He has been named to the squad for the November tests, and the team and its players will likely draw significant coverage in the coming weeks, especially since they are playing Scotland, a Tier 1 side. I don't see a reason to delete the article now just to re-create it later. CUA 27 (talk) 01:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi CUA 27 as per the criteria in WP:NRU he doesn't come close to meeting the notability conditions as he would have had to have played in a major international competition such as the world cup to meet them. Simply playing against Scotland or any other major team would not qualify him. IMHO if we allowed pages for every capped player for every national team in every sport just because he or she may meet the criteria later Wikipedia would lose its encyclopedic nature and simply become a mirror of the web pages of the different sporting associations.Domdeparis (talk) 17:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

You havent addressed the points I've made above, but have instead chosen to argue against points I didn't make. The first point I made was why now? The player will spend November playing a string of high-profile matches. Why the rush to delete now? Why not withdraw your proposal for a few weeks and then re-raise if still a valid concern? The other point was blindly relying on a guideline that suggests that a player with 7 caps for 11th ranked Georgia is not notable, but a player with 1 cap for a nation ranked 16th-18th (Can, Rom, USA) is notable. Surely you can see the weakness there. CUA 27 (talk) 12:23, 6 November 2016 (UTC)


 * CUA 27 I have addressed the 2 points but I think I need to make it clearer for you

The only reason for him to have a wikipedia entry after the November tests would be if he makes some very notable plays and scores some notable tries that qualify him under WP:CCS. My reply is very simple it is too early for him to have his entry NOW. So I would ask you why keep the entry and not recreate it once he fille the different criteria in WP:NRU. If one follows your logic then we should create a page for every international player just in case they become notable and if they don't make a case for deleting it. this is not what wikipedia is for IMHO Domdeparis (talk) 11:14, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 'This is a young player with several caps for Georgia, which is currently ranked 11th in the world': REPLY this does not make him notable according to WP:NRU check it out and you will understand.
 * 'He has been named to the squad for the November tests, and the team and its players will likely draw significant coverage in the coming weeks, especially since they are playing Scotland, a Tier 1 side.' :REPLY even if he plays against Scotland and there is significant coverage this alone does not qualify him under the criteria WP:NRU
