Facebook is NOT a reliable source. I'm also not sure that this meets the GNG. >> Access Denied // FATAL ERROR 10:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agreed. Does not meet the GNG or WP:BIO --Korruski (talk) 11:35, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete only claims to have played in small local teams and the Australian Schoolboys national rugby union team, which isn't enough to pass WP:ATHLETE. Can't find anything even close to significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. Hut 8.5 14:21, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete It would be hard for him to play at any much higher level - seeing as he is still only 15! "Selmes was lucky enough to sign a contract with the Henwood Park Hawks in 2004" - he was then 10. Played for England in MDIFA? From the (deleted) Wikipedia article on MDIFA, I quote: "MDIFA is an intra-school competition held yearly at MDCC, Wagga Wagga, in the suburb of Lake Albert.", and it is a "Football tournament held each lunch time for two weeks in Winter on the college oval.". The only sort of notability I could see would lie in the number of sports and teams he has been involved with in such a short time. Ghits mainly bebo and facebook. I rest my case.
