[edit] Harrison austin

Contested speedy deletion (page recreated after initial speedy and speedy tags removed from the second article 3 times despite warnings that this was not the appropriate way to contest). I think Mr. Austin is a non-notable young footballer. Google search for him and BOYS Caivanese came up empty Slp1 13:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

    • Comment given that the creator of the page was one Rayjaustin, I suspect this is a hoax..... - ChrisTheDude 14:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Some assertion of notability. Speedy tag removed. Appropriate to remain on AFD for community consensus. — ERcheck (talk) 13:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• So what if Mr.Austin isn't "notable" there are plently of players on wikipedia who aint heard of it's part of being a massive encyclopedia having the unknowns so i think he should stay here and just because it aint on google it don't mean a thing and BOYS Caivanese are a team in Italy who are the equivalent of Accrington Stanley in England —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.99.185.209 (talk • contribs) .
  • Comment see what Wikipedia is not, specifically it's not an indiscriminate collection of information. So we can't just add any random thing into the encyclopedia. Also, having no sources means the article is unverifiable, which is one of the central tenets of Wikipedia. ColourBurst 15:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment a team notable enough to be a redlink on the it Wikipedia. Perhaps the author might consider writing an article about the team there, assuming they reach the appropriate notability guidelines. Tonywalton  | Talk 21:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, speedily if possible as A7. Assertions of notability are unverifiable and probably hoaxy; it beggars belief that one of the highest rated prospects in world football gets exactly no Google hits either with or without the word "caivanese", and that no football site appears to have discussed his U18 or U21 prospects whether with England or Italy.
  "So what if he isn't 'notable'"? See This for what this Wikipedia classes as "notable" enough for inclusion, and see this for what isn't. Note also that [1] makes no mention of this world-class prospect (though admittedly that site is undated dated "2003-2004" and may therefore refer to the 2004 season before he allegedly signed for them).
