Alessandro Dellanzo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Not a professional player yet. Matthew_hk tc 16:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. Matthew_hk tc 16:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I checked, there is no such player and just a joke. Matthew_hk tc 16:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as NN and per WP:V. The team's page does not metion him. meshach 18:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment He is a player for their youth team. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arunby (talk • contribs)
• Comment Assuming he does exist then by the article's own admission he has never progressed past the youth team, therefore delete for failing to satisfy WP:BIO ChrisTheDude 08:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, even if such a player did exist, by not playing any first team matches he fails WP:BIO. Qwghlm 11:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete no track of his existance; and, even if he did exist, he would not be notable (no appearances in a professional football match). --Angelo 02:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment The link on the bottom of the page proves his existence - and his release from Siena. Besides, some Manchester United etc. players have never made appearances for the first team but have Wikipedia articles, for example, Chris Fagan and Antonio Bryan. Arunby 06:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment See WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. The existence of another article which doesn't satisfy WP:BIO is not a reason to keep this one ChrisTheDude 08:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment If this page is in the deletion list because Alessandro Dellanzo has never made a first team appearance, why aren't Chris Fagan and Antonio Bryan on the list too?. Arunby 07:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Presumably because nobody has yet thought to nominate them, but thanks for pointing them out, I will now nominate them for deletion too ChrisTheDude 08:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I question the source is a good source. It just like a fan site and put it on a famous host site. I don't think a (good/reliable) fan site would have only one news and only one players profile. And the profile coincidence is Alessandro Dellanzo. And google reply only one result, the wiki article. Matthew_hk tc 12:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Indeed, upon closer examination the site listed as a source looks a tad fishy. It purports to be an unofficial Siena news site but essentially all that is on there is a single news item referencing this player's release and an essay talking about how said release was a mistake. Looks like something someone cooked up to support a hoax.... ChrisTheDude 12:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Actually, the website has a lot more than that. How could you accuse someone of making a hoax website? My friend Liam, who is a huge Siena fan, set up that website. He was the one that told me about Alessandro Dellanzo in the first place. He has just set up the website. Give him a chance to put everything on it.Arunby 16:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Fair enough, there is more stuff on the site now, but there wasn't at the time I made my earlier comment..... ChrisTheDude 16:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment But you obviously make very quick assumptions. And another thing, if Chris Fagan and Antonio Bryan are nominated for deletion, why isn't each and every youth team player who hasn't made a first team appearance nominated? Aren't you using double standards by allowing Diego Alliaudi, Natureza, Sergio Tejera, Rhys Taylor, David Roberts, Ryan Flynn etc. to not be nominated? Why not? Arunby 16:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
      • If I'd realised those articles existed then I'd have nominated them too. Now that you've drawn them to my attention I can nominate them ChrisTheDude 21:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment ChrisTheDued, why are you accusing my website of being "cooked up to support a hoax"? I am a die hard fan of Siena, and I decided to set up a website with news items and my own opinion. I'd done half an hour's work and you were already calling it "a tad fishy". I'd like to see you set up a fan site in half an hour. Then I could call your site "a tad fishy" and "something someone cooked up". LiamArunby'sBuddy 16:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Chris the dude is a bastard. This says it all. LiamArunby'sBuddy 16:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Many thanks for your kind words but please read WP:NPA ChrisTheDude 21:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non notable: has not played for the first team of a professional club. Robotforaday 13:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
