Delete and Salt as a blatant hoax. This article was deleted as G3 Hoax, and was recreated moments later. I have done a number of searches and can find no indication of this person's existence, or past existence, no indication of the existence of the "memorial stadium" (except for a hoax article in another wiki), etc. The user has attempted to create other related articles which have been identified as hoaxes as well: [1], [2], [3], etc. Taroaldo ✉ 01:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A quick Google search shows this guy probably never existed, as this page is the only link resembling a soccer-related biography. Beerest355 Talk 01:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - What Did I say above? ths isnt a hoax. Weareunited878 (talk) 01:31, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt - it really doesn't matter if it is a hoax or not - the subject fails WP:GNG entirely and WP:NFOOTY as well and the article breaches WP:NOTMEMORIAL if the original author is to be believed. Stalwart111 02:35, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS to establish WP:GNG. Can't get any simpler than that.--FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 02:37, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I realize that this discussion has not been up for long, but can WP:SNOW be applied? --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 02:54, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt - no matter whether it is a hoax or not, many strong rationales for deletion are provided above. Ansh666 03:07, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Delete immediately. Content here needs to be verifiable. VQuakr (talk) 03:41, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a reference and about the comments about me I do NOT Create Hoaxs Madam or Sir This Article was originally created in the summer of 2007 while the BT Stadium was being Built but someone deleted it so His dad created it again on last year but once again it was deleted and it had references and links and everything and now I created it in memory of him because he was a great player..... just because he wasn't like George Best,Duncan Edwards or Bobby Moore doesnt mean he weren't likedWeareunited878 (talk) 06:35, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But being "liked" is not the same as being notable. For the article to be included, you need to demonstrate how the person was the subject of "significant coverage" in multiple reliable sources. Simply being well-liked or sorely-missed is, unfortunately, not enough because Wikipedia is not the place to publish memorials to you friends or loved-ones.

Comment I just tagged it CSDG3, without having read this AfD. It's a blatant hoax, whatever the author might say, following on from the other hoaxes they've created surrounding the non-existent football team Wycombe Boys., e.g. as per here. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:17, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
