Keep, now that the little vandalwar is over (for the time being), I'd say keep per WP:BIO. 6 appearances with the 1st team if I understand correctly. That would qualify him under "Sportspeople/athletes who have played in a fully professional league..." as Glentoran F.C. is Irish Premier League.--Isotope2318:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The Irish Premier League is not fully professional. Some Glentoran players are professional and others are not (e.g. [1] describes Glentoran as having "only a couple of professional players") It is unclear whether Mannus is one of them, but as reserve goalkeeper it is unlikely.

Weak Delete if Mannus played in any of Glentoran's UEFA games, I'd be for a keep, but I can't see that he did and I'm not sure that six league appearances (given that the IPL isn't fully pro as Oldelpaso says) is enough. Or if he'd been the first choice goalie I'd have gone with a keep, but as he's off on loan, that's not going to happen for a while, if at all. Angus McLellan(Talk)10:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - 'Ian is currently facing competition for the role of Glentoran reserve goalkeeper from a more promising young talent named Ciaran McLaughlin' says it all. BlueValour 22:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
