Andrew Miller (rugby player)[edit]
- Looks like a vanity page, especially considering that the same author created Southland Rugby a few minutes later. I think the latter could be expanded to a full article though. A quick googling doesn't reveal any notable career. --sitharus 04:36, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. No, Andrew Miller played rugby for Japan in the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup. I am the person who created both pages today. I happen to like Japanese rugby. Andrew Miller is an excellent player who now plays for Southland, and I am not him.--Historian 06:43, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Played World Cup Rugby plus seven years as a professional rugby player. A Google search on "Andrew Miller" Japan Rugby [1] gets over 1,000 results. These include this [2] on the World Cup fixture between Japan and Fiji. He also played a season with the Canterbury Crusaders (rugby) but after being dropped in favour of Andrew Mehrtens decided to go to the Japanese leagues.Capitalistroadster 09:57, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep a search for "Andrew Miller" +rugby brings 4,650 results. Seems notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:33, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and allow for organic growth. Hardly vanity. GRider\talk 18:17, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, he's not the most famous rugby player on the planet, but he is an international and thus has some notability. This is clearly not vanity. Rje 18:46, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)

- Keep OK, after more than a quick search it looks valid, and the article has been fleshed out more. I apologise for the hasty judgement. --sitharus 07:41, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
