Not an obviously notable person. I turned down a CSD because there is a news source that covers him in passing, and a comment on the talk page contesting the CSD says there is more. Since I like to give people a chance, they should be given the opportunity to come up with them, though I'll still point out anything violating WP:BLP should be aggressively removed.

  • Delete (arguably speedy delete). I can understand why someone unfamiliar with Australian rules football didn't speedy delete, but to be honest I would have. The 'source' about him being a draft prospect in 2014 is blatantly made up (and even if it were somehow true, it would not make him notable). Only actual mention in a source is a local story about some school fundraising. Vanity page by an underage kid who probably doesn't realise how stupid it is to put so much information about himself online. The photo should probably be deleted too.

Speedy delete Personal information of non-notable minors should never be allowed to stay online. We don't know if it's a vanity page by him, or a mate or an enemy trying to embarrass him by posting this. BLP for minors should be so much stronger than for adults.

Do you mean speedy delete via G10 ("Attack page"?) To be honest, I think rewording G10 to cover this scenario has some merit. I see you've trimmed out the BLP violations (which I meant to do but forgot) and I've taken out the picture. It's for his own good. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:18, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy delete we should err on the side of speed with minors. Principals of schools are not notable, head prefects even less so. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment since the article's creator has not commented on this AfD, then I agree that speedying this is the way to go. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:08, 22 June 2014 (UTC) reply
