I was under the impression Knowledge is about having a capture of as much reference information as possible. there are already pages of persons with as much (or little) claim to notability as per McCabe's (the reference actually showing him playing for Ireland and scoring in the 56th minute of the game v USA is pretty much a nailed on confirmation, from times when RL constantly shot itself in the foot by not recording information, that he is indeed a full international). The Rugby Record Keepers club (a collective of International Rugby League approved historians) will soon be uploading a complete capture of all international games, results, players and scorers and this will be the de facto reference point at that time. 509: 491: 591: 330: 581: 563: 385: 361: 447: 719: 665: 21: 647: 218: 459: 395: 829:, articles aren't required to have images, but they are required to be reliably sourced and there subject's are required to be Knowledge notable.
