Simon cobb (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Very little apparent notability; played for a youth team only; fails WP:BIO and WP:V. Google search for "Simon Cobb" football returns just 30 unique hits, almost none relevant.[1] Contested prod. ~Matticus ^T_C 20:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Delete - NN player. On a random note, an IP tried to change all the votes to Keep. I reverted the changes. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

  I agree with the speedy tag as well. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 21:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep i know Simon Cobb he's a quality keeper and he is a model as well, the relevance will go up if he gets the contract he is negotiating at Kings Lynn FC. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.142.167.105 (talk • contribs).
  • Comment and if he signs on with Lynn, he's still two levels away from being considered notable enough for an article. - fchd 21:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Very Strong Keep please keep my page i made, he is a very highly rated keeper, and yes he used to be called Simon Escott, my mistake!!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nigel sawyer01 (talk • contribs).

• Google search for "Simon Escott" football returns even fewer results. ~Matticus ^T_C 21:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete under WP:CSD#A7 and WP:SNOW, and so tagged, before this descends any futher into farcical sockpuppetry. ~Matticus ^T_C 21:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete before every teenager he knows shows up here to add more farcical comments. Fan-1967 21:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete A7. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete Subject does not even come close to meeting WP:BIO, and signing a contract with non-league Kings Lynn certainly won't change that. Note that none of the "Keep" puppets !voters (I'm being charitable) have offered any argument other than WP:ILIKEIT ChrisTheDude 21:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, as Speedy as they come. Bubba hotep 21:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
