Still fails both WP:GNG and WP:NRU. I nominated this a year ago, and it was kept on the mistaken belief that the US league fell under the rugby notability guidelines. It turns out the US league was added without discussion, and after a review it was correctly removed (disclosure: I was involved in the discussion.) The only identified sources now or at the prior AfD are press releases (including coverage from an advertising campaign, that's the best source and it doesn't meet GNG) or from sources that are closely tied to the subject, including the subject's former school and the subject's team, or are not independent, such as a US rugby blog, and nothing has changed in the year plus since the last AfD that would make him notable.

- Delete. As per nomination. Major League Rugby isn't a notable league under WP:NRU, no sources to suggest it qualifies for WP:GNG (actually more references to a footballer of a differing name). Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 14:33, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per nom, rugby players in the US are not automatically notable. There are several articles in Category:Seattle Seawolves players that should probably go too. Reywas92 Talk 19:20, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
