[edit] Matt Gillon

Matt Gillon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Possible hoax. Doesn't seem to be a single reference anywhere of someone with the name Matt Gillon ever playing rugby, let alone for Blagnac SCR. The apparent source for this information doesn't mention anything for someone by the name either. Being a French team, I checked the French article ([1]), not on there either.

a few google searches;
"Matt Gillon" rugby - two pdfs'. One for a school, another written by someone with the same name. Removing the quotes returns plenty of pages, but I stopped looking after the first 250 results.
"Matt Gillon" Blagnac - Returns nothing, whereas a search for one of the other players of the team (eg, "Boumedienne Allam" Blagnac) finds plenty of info. Again, removing the quotes finds a lot to do with a 'Prunay le Gillon', but nothing usefull (filtering reduces it to two pages [2]) ARendedWinter 23:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

KEEP - this man played a few games in 2005-06, although mainly for the feeder side and was a regular 7 a side player. He probably played 3-4 for the top team.....twice as a reserve I would guess —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronan010 (talk • contribs) 06:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC) — Ronan010 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • keep I have heard of this guy. He got a surprise call-up out of nowhere in 2005 (I think....maybe early '06 actually, either or!) on the wing after two of the incumbents were injured (I think one was actually quite ill) and even scored a good try with his first touch, but his tackling was sketchy, at best! I think he got dropped after that, and then came back into the side for another 1-2 games that season (I think he was a reserve though), but played a number of games for the reserve team and was a good performer in the 7's team —Preceding unsigned comment added by Castres (talk • contribs) 07:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Even if what you say is verifiable, Castres, that wouldn't meet the unofficial notability level applied to New Zeland players (which is a full season in the squad for either NPC or super rugby or playing for a national team (including age-group).dramatic (talk) 08:55, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per Hammer1980; need substantial coverage in WP:RS to establish notability, and that's not present here. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
