 * Keep per arguments under Richard Sinclair. -- Bpmullins | Talk 22:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Your argument with Richard Sinclair appears to be that the article should be kept based on the fact that he plays for Queen's Park. However this player plays for East Stirling - a club which pays players £10 per week! Keeping this article goes against the criteria set by WP:BIO which states that "Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league". What's the point in having such criteria if people are not prepared to adhear to it? Forbsey 13:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - as per Bpmullins - Daemonic Kangaroo 06:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Forbsey. Athletes should play in a fully professional league or have achieved some particular distinction at a lower or amateur level.--Kubigula (talk) 23:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
