Deletion of Mitchell Brown (Australian footballer)

Comment: contrary to claims being made in AFDs and PRODs,  is not gospel, just an additional criteria, that does '''not''' override the Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Basic_criteria|Basic notability criteria of ''A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject''.  This is a concerted effort by a few editors to wipe out all of the 2008 AFL Draft player articles, regardless of their possibilities, without allowing any time to provide references.  This was AFD'd only 33 minutes after I http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitchell_Brown_(Australian_footballer)&action=history tagged it as {{unreferenced}}. This is about the 6th AFD that's come up tonight, plus a bunch more PRODs.  I wish I could have spent tonight improving articles, but I'm too busy voting here.  For those not aware of the AFL, it has a very "closed-door" team squad makeup - the draft is the only way for new, young players to be added to their 38 man senior squads, and each team only selected between 3 and 8 players in the draft.  It's not like they have squads of 100, or they'll be getting another 10 new guys next month - this is it until next year.  This guy was pick 15 - ie first round.  I've added a couple of refs to this article.  Also, be wary of ghits counts on this one - there is another Mitchell Brown who was drafted last year in the AFL, and both seem to also use Mitch Brown a lot too
