A contested PROD. The subject fails WP:RLN as he hasn't played in a Super League match or a World Cup. It seems unlikely the three sources are enough to pass the GNG Mattlore (talk) 01:57, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Canadian international playing in a professional team, albeit in a semi-pro league this season.Fleets (talk) 09:30, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Canada has never played in a World Cup, Four Nations, European Cup or a Pacific Cup as required by RLN. I wasn't able to find any more sources so it could pass WP:GNG Mattlore (talk) 20:15, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Required is an interesting choice of phrase, almost like you want to remove the rugby league article. May I ask if you are a fan of that particular sport, just out of interest?Fleets (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how my personal preferences are relevant to this discussion, but even a quick glance at my editing history or user page will answer that question for you. RLN is a hard threshold that assumes notability if it is met - therefore required is a perfectly fine turn of phrase. As Chad Bain doesn't meet this guideline, the subject has to demonstrate it meets the general notability guidelines in other ways. Your arguments should concentrate on articulating how he does this so that the article doesn't get deleted. Mattlore (talk) 21:36, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Appeared in international matches, satisfies WP:RLN and WP:GNG. Smartyllama (talk) 14:36, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Smartyllama:, he doesn't satisfy RLN and it appears dubious that the sources in the article are enough to pass GNG. If you were able to find some more could you please add them to the article. Mattlore (talk) 19:34, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- I can't find any evidence he has ever played in an international match for Canada. Mattlore (talk) 19:44, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, he'll likely pass RLN and/or GNG in the near future, but for now it's just a little bit too soon – skemcraig⊗ 20:54, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- I notice a few articles that currently fail RLN but may soon pass have been moved to @Fleets: user space. If this AfD closes as delete and Fleets wants it, I'd like to see this too moved to his userspace, it's actually a good way to save it for moving back when it passes RLN/GNG! – skemcraig⊗ 21:00, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
