[edit] Michael Eborn

Michael Eborn (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Previously speedy deleted by myself several times for A7 violations it now has an assertion of notability through "under 21 national sabre champion of Ireland". In my opinion this assertion still does not merit an article, but as it is no longer a speedy candidate I'm filing it here. –– Lid(Talk) 23:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete and salt. Possible hoax. Also delete the associated picture, Image:Michaeleborn.jpg. --A. B. (talk) 23:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - I saw the page while on New pages patrol. My first reaction was that "national champion" probably qualified for notability. But Google finds zero relevant pages so I suspect a hoax. Sbowers3 (talk) 03:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete should be in the news if notable Victuallers (talk) 23:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - No reliable sources. The Irish Amateur Fencing Federation (governing body for Irish fencing) lists no Micheal Eborn in the 2005-2006 final rankings. Notable fencers don't spring out of thin air, and one would have expected to see a ranking. The IAFF 2006-2007 Men's Sabre ranking also does not show a Micheal Eborn. A search on the FIE site for an Irish fencer with a name of Eborn returns no results.
I should clarify that the FIE is the world governing body for fencing. You can conduct your own search to verify my results using this url -- Whpq (talk) 21:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
