Contested prod. Clearly fails WP:RLN, and not enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG either. J Mo 101 (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• The Rugby League European Federation is an official governing body of the sport of rugby league and the Newcastle Thunder are a professional club. How are they not reliable enough to satisfy criteria. I have loads more references if you want them?

They're a third tier club who are semi-pro at best - far below the requirement in WP:RLN (playing in either Super League or NRL). If you can provide evidence that's he received significant coverage (i.e. not just trivial mentions or routine coverage such as match reports or transfer news), then people will vote to keep it. I was only able to find this article [1], but multiple independent sources are needed to satisfy WP:GNG. J Mo 101 (talk) 07:07, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative keep as WP:RLN looks like it may need reviewing. The Balkans Cup is an international event and in most other sports these generally take players across the notability threshhold. NealeFamily (talk) 01:54, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The guideline was reviewed quite recently (see here), as if anything the notability bar was too low. Rugby league is a very minor sport in all but a handful of countries – even at international level, it receives minimal coverage aside from the major tournaments.

Delete as per guidelines NealeFamily (talk) 04:14, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete WP:RLN has clear guidelines for notability requirements. subject falls short of RLN and WP:GNG
