Clint Benjamin

Failed WP:Athlete before at the time of creation and certainly does now as subject did not compete at the fully professional level of this sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport. Having now been de-listed from the Carlton Football club his two seasons with the club were interrupted by injuries and he did not play a senior game. --VS ^talk 10:32, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Again, yet another example of an article on an Australian rules footballer created before any notability is established per WP:ATHLETE. WP:ATHLETE is a very low bar and this subject fails to meet even it. The creators of these articles on AFL draft picks would be better placed to wait until WP:ATHLETE is met rather than attempting to foretell the future. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 23:50, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly non-notable. Agree wholeheartedly with Mattinbgn's sentiments. An example of the legacy of promoting a whole raft of draft might-be's, supposedly for reasons of "convenience". These articles should be noted for next year's debate. Murtoa (talk) 01:04, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete But as I interpret WP:ATHLETE to be primarily criteria for inclusion, not for deletion, it is the lack of WP:RS references to prove notability outside of the 'played in a professional league' criteria that fails this article. The-Pope (talk) 04:22, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, another AFL hopeful who came agonisingly close, but in the end did not end up making it. Fails WP:ATHLETE. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 23:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]
