[edit] David Collins (footballer)

David Collins (footballer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This player is far below notability. Additionally, the article lacks verifiability. According to the article, this player has played for the national team. Unfortunately it does not even mention the sport in question, there are several "indoor football" disciplines. His club, Deportivo football club has a Wikipedia article which meets speedy deletion criteria, but on this occasion I used prod instead, so it could be used as a reference for this AfD nomination.

• Delete - Notability cannot be established because the article lacks primary/secondary sources per WP:ATT. Google search didn't turn up much. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 07:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 08:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I also note that the prod template has been removed (without explanation) from his team's article, so I'll take that to AfD as well. ChrisTheDude 08:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Only claim to notability (which actually comprises the article's only sentence as it stands) is that he plays for the "Indoor Roos". As far as I can tell, Australia does not field a team called the "Indoor Roos" - they do field a futsal team called the "Futsalroos", but I can find no record whatsoever of a player with this name turning out for that team - "futsalroos" "david collins" returns zero results on Google....

• Delete Seem a hoax. Matthew_hk tc 09:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable, unverifiable. Qwghlm 17:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete A7 as part of the AfD for Deportivo (below). So tagged. --Dennisthe2 21:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
