This article is about a rugby union pl;ayer with no coverage in reliable sources to to establish notability. The article claims that he plays for Newport RFC and the Newport Gwent Dragons. However, he is not listed on the current squads: [1], [2]. Checking with WikiProject Rugby union, User:FruitMonkey offered the opinion that "With no first class games under his belt and no international caps, we must state at this time Chris Ball is not notable and should be deleted."

Delete. Nomination indicates that subject does not meet WP:ATHLETE, and without reliable sources, notability is not established. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:19, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – No evidence is provided that he meets WP:ATHLETE, and I was unable to find any indication of notability in a quick Google News search. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 02:27, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:NSPORTS, and very little sourcing available. Alzarian16 (talk) 14:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
