[edit] Drew Cameron

Drew Cameron (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No reliable sources which mention the subject, subject does not seem at all notable. Subject played some frisbee in small towns in South Africa, although even that is not demonstrated with reliable sources. Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 08:17, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Unless better sources/references provided. Right now, there are two external links: one is dead, the other has nothing to do with this gentleman. Sounds like an inspiring figure in his community, but not seeing encylopedic necessity here. —Gaff ^ταλκ 08:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As Gaff said, inspiring figure, but no references - and maybe it is my own American ethnocentricity coming through here, but is there a professional frisbee league in California? If there is and it can be documented and that he participated in it, then keep. Otherwise the article fails to meet the requirements for WP:Notability --Ozgod 13:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Bah, the information is genuine and sound. I'm sure concrete evidence is unnesessary under these circumstances; the writer has clearly gone to a lot of trouble in creating the page and i'm sure he/she is only new. New information seems to be filtering through, and i'm sure there is a representative frisbee team from the African nations. What joys would somebody possibly get from hoaxing a page like this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.244.194 (talk • contribs) (user's only edit)

• Sorry, in this encyclopedia you can't be "sure concrete evidence is unnesessary." I suggest that you read a little bit about Wikipedia before submitting unreferenced, unverifiable articles. Check out Wikipedia:Notability or Wikipedia:About to learn a little about Wikipedia. As for the article, it looks nice and is well written. I think it would look great at myspace.com or blogspot.com. Take care. —Gaff ^ταλκ 16:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete This edit by someone with a very similar IP address to the unsigned keep vote above, attempting to add an image, supports the hoax theory. The current image is clearly not of Cameron today (article says he's 47, even though the article also says he was born in 1964), but of a teenager. It's a 2.5 Megapixel image taken with a Kodak C340 which hasn't existed long enough for the image to be a teenage picture of anyone born in 1964. Lack of any verifiable source is plenty enough rationale to delete - the probable hoax elements clinch it. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete, likely hoax. "I'm sure concrete evidence is unnesessary"?? Oh, please. NawlinWiki 21:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, frisbee player who lacks encyclopedic merit. RFerreira 06:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
