Article gives no clues as to notability (if he is in the PDC as it says, where is the proof). A google search yields no related pages. —Half Price 20:47, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not appear to have acheived anything of note. Being a member of the PDC does not confer notability since anyone (of any ability) can join, and unless he has played in the latter stages of a major tournament – it appears that he hasn't got past the early rounds of the even most minor tournaments and his name only appears once on the PDC website having reached the last 128 in the JR & Vauxhall 128+ Classic – he fails WP:ATHLETE. _wjemather ^bigissue 21:11, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless someone shows evidence he's played at the fully professional level. Normally I would accept an organisation with the word "Professional" in the title, but it looks like this is an exception. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 18:16, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
