[edit] Michael Carroll (footballer)
This article is unverifiable and a possible hoax. Google suggests there is no Michael Carroll currently playing for Limavady United[1], and there is no mention of a Michael Carroll on the Limavady website's senior team and youth team pages. --Muchness 11:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom as hoax. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 12:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. MER-C 13:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - per nom. no google hit. Anyway non notable. -- Cate | Talk 14:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - Google is not the only reference available. The player currently plays in the Reserve team and has appeared in a couple of friendlies for the senior team.Ryannus 15:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - but if there are no (really only one reference in forum) reference in the FC site, it is non (yet) notable. Anyway, you don't give verifiable sources. So I still vote delete until he is more notable. Cate | Talk 15:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Also no mention at Limavady reserve team (few players mentioned). There is a selfpublished claim at [2]. No reliable source and non-notable. PrimeHunter 15:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - The Limavady website may not have been recently updated.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ryannus (talk • contribs) 17:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
- Delete Per WP:BIO, subject is not sufficiently notable until he plays with the senior club. For all we know, he could blow out a knee and never see a top-level match. Caknuck 17:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, needs to actually play w/the club and gain notariety on the field. SkierRMH,23:50, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment According to the BBC website [3] he's a member of the squad, and an Irish newspaper does include a player called 'Carroll' as a substitute [4]. One Night In Hackney 06:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment The BBC link is about County Londonderry, not Limavady United. Even if he does play for Limavady now (still no reliable source), he seems far from being notable for a bio when it's so hard to find information about him in a popular sport. Limavady was 10th in 2005/06 in the (Northern) Irish Premier League. They have never won and are currently 13th of 16. Their home ground has capacity 1500. A small club in a small league.
