[edit] Bobby Harmon

Bobby Harmon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable minor league soccer player, can only find 1 non-wikipedia google result for "Bobby Harmon" relevant to this player's career, and it is his bio for the youth team he currently coaches. Drdisque (talk) 02:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Wryspy (talk) 02:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete Along with the above, it is also unreferenced and far too short. ― LADY GALAXY 05:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment This New York Times article references his signing for the San Diego Sockers, but I can't find any reliable source to confirm he played any matches..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
    • This shows he played for San Diego in the CISL and this shows he played for Detroit, so I'm going to go with weakest possible keep ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - based on ChrisTheDude's research. GiantSnowman (talk) 13:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment It needs a full re-write and tidy up. I can't make head nor tail about what it means and whether he's notable enough or not. Peanut4 (talk) 18:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment There is no doubt that Harmon played in the CISL, but I'm not sure if that meets the notability requirement. CISL is an indoor soccer league, but I'm not sure it would meet the magic "fully professional league" status that is applied to association football players. Does anyone know? Best regards.

I found this ([1]) which indicates he played 40 games with Dayton in the 1992-93 MISL season. I'm not sure if MISL was professional, but I think it was. Jogurney (talk) 23:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Jogurney, MISL was a fully-pro league as far as I know BanRay 00:19, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - even with the appearances the page is lacking encyclopaedic material and there are no secondary sources attesting to notability. Fails WP:V since several of the alphabet soup constructions haven't yet been verified. TerriersFan (talk) 21:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Yep agree with you. This article could probably be speedy deleted under various criteria. It's just gooble-di-gook (sp?) in its current form. Peanut4 (talk) 21:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
