[edit] Ben Vaisey

Non-notable/hoax article. Page was created by person in question (User:Vaz21. Vaisey's nickname is listed as "Vaz", of the few Google hits that aren't Wikipedia mirrors is a deviantArt account under the username "Vazie", with the full name "Ben Vaisey"). I cannot find any mention of the person on the websites on any of the clubs he supposedly plays for or has played for, and there are little to no Google results for his name in conjunction with these clubs that aren't WP mirrors (Ben Vaisey + Nashville Metros, +Norwich, +Llanelli, +Leeds (see here), +Wrexham). Page has also been deleted in various guises twice in the past, and the only reason why I didn't put this up for speedy was because a prod was removed in the past. Note, Ryanovski (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) attempted to delete this page earlier in the year, and created this page, but seemed to have not followed through with all the steps. As it was not a complete AfD nomination, I decided to overwrite this page rather than create a 2nd nomination page. The previous version of the page can be found here.

• Delete Non notable and no sources. Decoratrix (talk) 04:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - Assuming the text is true, and this would require some sort of sourcing, even something as simple as a lineup listing from a team website. I tagged the article {{unreferenced}} as well and would, if I could remember the tag nomenclature, tag it with the "this reads like a resume/VO/biography". The edit history does show it was created by the Vaz, but the vast majority of edits are not (though many are IP). VigilancePrime (talk) 04:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged the article with {{likeresume}}. With regards to a listing of players, the Nashville Metros official website does not list him in their roster of players, despite him allegedly scoring more than a goal every two games. It could be argued that this is because he "has" recently been loaned to Wrexham, and thus been removed from the roster, though the Wrexham site also does not mention the player. There are also no Google News results for the player's name, which a real player - who had actually signed for Wrexham, and had actual interest expressed in him by Notts County and Grays Athletic, and had actually been tearing up his league - would have. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 12:01, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
