Non notable amateur rugby league player. Scotland was not granted full international status until 1996, so his appearances in unofficial friendlies fail WP:RLN. J Mo 101 (talk) 12:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a valiant effort at throwing stuff at the wall, but nothing sticks.--Rpclod (talk) 13:18, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think the first Scotland Rugby League internationals were in 1995, not 1996 as stated above, so his two caps could be official - it looks like Scotland were at the 1995 Rugby League Emerging Nations Tournament. That said I am doubtful if being capped by an emerging nation is enough to meet notability criteria and the article as it stands does not really have much useful to say.

Scotland did play several games in 1995, but they weren't "full internationals", so the team mainly consisted of amateur players and students. In any case, I agree that playing in an Emerging Nations tournament isn't sufficient to pass RLN. J Mo 101 (talk) 20:54, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
