[edit] Gareth Cooke

Gareth Cooke (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

An unsourced biography about an alleged football player, which was speedy deleted four times last year[1] and has recently been reincarnated with the claim that he had made appearances for English Football Conference side Ebbsfleet United F.C.[2] despite the official site for the club not showing him as a member of the first team squad[3]. Thus it is believed to be a hoax; even if true, he fails WP:Athlete as he has never 'played' in a fully professional league. Another editor has removed the false information about Ebbsfleet United, which leaves us with the current article[4]. Prod was removed hence this AfD. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
