[edit] Corben Bone

Corben Bone (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Prod contested, taking to afd at DGG's suggestion. Currently a college player, he has been a member of notable teams. BUT just because one is a member of a notable team doesn't mean you yourself are notable. As I said in my prod, there is no indication of his contribution to the team's success. For all we know, he spent more time on the bench than on the field. Unless someone can demonstrate notability - and include it in the article and not here or on the article's discussion page - I say delete as nn athlete. Postcard Cathy 17:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - No notability established. Corpx 21:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • ? - What is the relation between Corben Bone and Alexander Parker? the_undertow talk 22:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I forgot that part. Delete because author is seriously confused between title and subject and notability of team vs. notability of player. Cathy
  • Good question Corpx 22:11, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • They're both U.S. soccer players, it seems, though your guess is a good as mine as to why an article about Alexander Parker is titled Corben Bone. --Malcolmxl5 22:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The content refers to a completely different person (Alexander Parker) and there is no evidence that Corben Bone is notable <will that do?>. --Malcolmxl5 22:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Well Then Strong Delete If the subject is not in agreement with the article title, there is a huge problem. In any event, there are no references so there is no way to verify if they (which one, I don't know) pass a sports bio. the_undertow talk 22:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I wouldn't say huge problem. Just an annoying problem. Someone who thinks Corben Bone is notable can blank the page and write an article on Corben on this title and if it turns out Alex is notable, then a new page can be started. But that is IF either are notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.146.136.185 (talk • contribs)
I was referencing the fact that it adds immense confusion as for which player we are trying to establish criteria for inclusion. Please remember to sign your posts ;) the_undertow talk 00:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
May or may not be notable. I don't know how presitgious of an honor that is so I won't comment. But anyway, if you read the article, the author wrote about Alexander Parker, NOT Corben Bone.
No, I understand your point. Parade always issues a player of the year for all major high school sports, so it's a pretty prestigious award, even if the magazine is free with your Sunday newspaper. Corvus cornix 19:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I know that Parade does that. But I am still not convinced it is a prestigious award. Besides, Corben Bone received the award, not Alexander Parker who is the subject of the article.
