~~PROD removed with rationale: "Needs cleanup, not deletion. Additional content likely can be found", which is flawed as the player still fails WP:RLN. – skemcraig⊗ 19:15, 1 March 2017 (UTC)~~[reply]

Keep: - scored two vital tries for Wales in their World Cup win over Italy Fleets (talk) 22:25, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - created too soon as the player is not notable and no guarantee that they ever will be. Mattlore (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: He apparently played for Wales against Italy last year in a RLWC qualifying match. While this doesn't technically satisfy RLN, I think it is enough when combined with the fact that he is in a Super League squad. Mattlore (talk) 22:20, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The actual inclusion criteria for rugby players as with most are an absolute minimum, if a person does not even meet those we should never have an article on them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:35, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Fleets. Appearing on a national team at an international competition is notable. South Nashua (talk) 05:58, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - although he is yet to make an appearance in the Super League, he has indeed signed with a team that plays in the top tier of competition for rugby league in Europe. The signing seems to have been done fairly recently and he might make his debut soon enough. Add the fact that he has played an international match and scored two vital tries, be it at the qualifying stage, the person seems notable enough in my understanding. Though he does not precisely meet WP:RLN yet, it appears that he very soon might. I would like to give the article some time. It can always be nominated for deletion again if he does not play any more matches, which seems highly unlikely to me. — Yash^talk stalk 18:52, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
