Tony Moore (Irish footballer)

 * Delete - 4 years since the last AFD and the article has not been improved or expanded. I fear this player will never meet WP:GNG, and is therefore non-notable, regardless of a few minor sporting achievement 80 years ago. At the most I would suggest a redirect to Bohemian F.C..

 * Keep - I wouldn't except finding a lot of online coverage from a person where the claim for notability is 80 years ago. Playing for one of the bests teams in Ireland back then, or arguably the best team, should be enough to presume notability, even though the league isn't considered "fully pro". That the article hasn't been improved since the article was kept with a great majority of the voters in an AfD in January 2009 is not a reason to delete. Mentoz86 (talk) 09:52, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Mentoz - any evidence of the claim to notability i.e. did he actually play? He could well have been a bench-warmer for the team. Even so, he fails WP:GNG massively. We have plenty of sources for contemporary players in other leagues. GiantSnowman 11:12, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * But what is the coverage of Irish leagues vs those other leagues? - The Bushranger One ping only 14:54, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * In my experience the Irish leagues recive less coverage than British leagues - the same now as it was historically, refletcing the fact that it is not the country's main sport. GiantSnowman 14:59, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
