I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing
Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed
Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by
User:Tedinboston with the following rationale "proposed deletion template expired" which (coupled with that users mass deproddings around that time) suggest he misunderstands proposed deletion procedure (the templates are supposed to expire, and then said articles are reviewed by an admin who then decides whether to accept or decline the deletion). As in this case Ted expanded the article, we are at AfD. I don't feel that the new sources suffice to merit keep per
WP:BIO. Referees are not auto-notable (
Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Notability#Referee_notability), and he also fails
WP:CRIMINAL (minor coverage of minor crime). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Keep - arrest/suspension drew coverage from the NY times.

Delete - Unemployment fraud is not a notable crime, thus
WP:BLP1E and
WP:CRIMINAL are failed. Per consensus, the position of referee is not inherently notable so
WP:GNG must be met, which it is not. —

Hydration is not a crime. Some of the references relate to his crime, but not all. Also such a minor offence would never be newsworthy if he wasn't a prominent ref to begin with. Meets
WP:GNG.

Delete - Criminal activity whether guilty or not fails
WP:CRIM as the individual has not committed a crime against a well known individual, nor is there any particularly unusual motivation for the crime. No indication that his refereeing activities have generated significant reliable coverage of themselves (as opposed to
routine coverage that he refereed one match or another). Seems an obvious
WP:BLP1E article and not even sa particularly interesting 1E at that either.
