As you hopefully have noticed, I had a look at your 'stub' article and it seems fine - there's probably not a great deal to say about him considering he's just started his career! You will notice I reformatted your citations to make them more explanatory. It is useful to know when a source was retrieved/accessed because, if the source becomes obsolete it is still demonstrable that it existed at some point. It's important to give citations for things like personal details - DOB's, places of birth, relatives - because if these details are not easily and publicly available we shouldn't be publishing them. In this case the cricket club has published Gannon's DOB for all to see. My goodness he's a tall chappie! Sionk (talk) 17:22, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
