[edit] Marcel du Plessis
There are no references, after a lot of searching on the web I have found nothing that says this player exists, or that he plays for Leinster or Namibia Shudda talk 22:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Except for WP mirrors, there's virtually no trace of this guy on the internet. I'd feel more confident if I could find an actual roster for the Namibian squad, but I can't vote keep just because the article seems too bland to be a hoax. --Djrobgordon 23:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete not sourced and doesn't seem to be notable. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 00:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Except for WP mirrors, there's virtually no trace of this guy on the internet. I cannot find any mention on him on the Leinster web, and on forums regarding Leinster rugby, the only hit I get on his name is somebody asking who the guy is as he had never heard of him before reading the Leinster Rugby article here. The Namibian website has been taken down. --Bob 05:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I've put in a source request under talk. I would recommend giving a sufficient amount of time for a response before taking down. The article has been up for 4 months and has been edited by multiple people. A bit of patience won't hurt. Bbagot 03:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. When I found the page I tried to find some sources for it. However there is absolutely nothing on the internet about this guy. Chances are it's a hoax. I have not found him listed in any Namibian team lists, any Leinster team lists. As well, he was never the International Rugby Board under 19 player of the year (I checked their website, where past winners are listed). So after spending a lot of time trying to verify this info I can really think of no reason to keep it. - Shudda talk 20:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
