Weak Keep While I agree professional sports people are inherantly notable, the article really REALLY needs some expansion.

Comment Woeful lack of knowledge? I'm directly using the notability criteria you linked. The very first thing said under Athletes is 'Competitors who have played in a fully professional league', which this person has. The other things you list - secondary sources, etc. are things that make an article better, but that is a seperate issue from notability. If notability meant what you think it does then every stub should be deleted as non-notable.

Weak delete Just passes
WP:BIO but fails, I think,
WP:NOTE.
WP:BIO does say "However, it is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception." Common sense should rule here, I think. --

Keep Satisfies the requirements for
WP:BIO. References should be included to denote his (admittedly brief) career stats, but this is a separate cleanup issue distinct from notability requirements.
