Sam baines

Non-notable amateur athlete. Weak assertion of notability but fails WP:ATHLETE. McWomble (talk) 12:05, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Depends on whether we accept the U20 Commonwealth games as the highest level of amateur athletes. Can anyone clarify this matter? The peacock words need to go no matter what. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 13:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Cleanup This person is notable, but it needs verifiable sources. Also, he graduated from grammar school at age 17? What the hell is with that? Jonathan321 (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * What age would it be more usual to finish grammar school? Ages 16-18 are quite normal here in the UK. AlexTiefling (talk) 12:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Finishing school in Victoria is usually around 17-18 and dont forget Sam was born in Feburary so he's not that young. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.98.199 (talk) 23:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A wander through Google suggests subject fails WP:ATHLETE. He might get there one day, but...  Agree that regardless of outcome, article needs rewrite and deletion or preening wording. Twilight1701 (talk) 17:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
