Richard Brush

Fails WP:BIO as never having played in a fully professional league. If he does play in a professional league, the article can be recreated. Delete until then. robwingfield ^«T•C» 23:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - plays for a professional team in a professional league. GiantSnowman 23:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The League of Ireland appears to be professional. Even if it was not 'fully' professional, it would be unduly harsh to keep out fully professional players (and I assume Brush is one of these) simply on the basis that their leage, being the top tier in the country, was not fully professional. --Mkativerata 23:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. Does play in fully professional league. Basis for AfD is false. Also...11 Google News hits in the last month... Smashville 01:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - is the Football League of Ireland definitely fully professional? The article seems a bit ambiguous. If it is, then I'm happy to withdraw the AfD. robwingfield ^«T•C» 06:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Plays for a notable football club, and used to be contracted to Coventry City. Has also played first team football at Tamworth, and many conference players have articles. Esteffect 14:12, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - none of those facts make the player notable. The only way this player fulfils notability criteria is if the Football League of Ireland is a fully professional league. robwingfield ^«T•C» 16:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Delete this on the grounds that the Football League of Ireland isn't fully professional (and I've no idea if it is or not) and you open up a whole new can of worms re football players playing in either of the Irish leagues. WikiGull 11:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From elevenaside.com "Ireland's soccer website": "Six of the eircom League of Ireland’s biggest clubs have convened in a bid to secure the future of the domestic league in the face of directionless planning by the Football Association of Ireland, according to a hard-hitting report on Wednesday morning......In addition, the six clubs are calling for the implementation of a fully-professional Premier Division as opposed to the mix-and-match pro and semi-pro state of affairs which currently prevails" ChrisTheDude 11:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
