[edit] Nick Munro

Nick Munro (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is (probably) a self-written article about a junior football player. Despite the claim by a father of a team mate on the talk page, Nick Munro is not notable, whether or not he is a hoax. Grahamec 05:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable amateur athlete. May be notable in the future, but isn't currently. -- Flyguy649 ^talk 06:38, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 07:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Subject was allegedly recognised as the second best junior goalie of the 20th century by FIFA in 2000 - firstly I find it astoundingly unlikely that FIFA would compile a list of the best junior goalies in the first place, and secondly I doubt very much it would include any 7-year olds, and besides the article itself states that he didn't start playing football until 2001, after the alleged list was compiled. And he was inducted into a club's Hall of Fame at age 10? Yeah, right. Article is the creation of an SPA which is clearly the subject, as (apart from the username (Munaz = Munro?)) he uploaded (and botched adding to the article) a picture of the subject called "Me.jpg" ChrisTheDude 07:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Note also that it was the article creator who added the comment to the talk page stating "I know all this to be true" and claiming to be from a father of one of Munro's team-mates.... ChrisTheDude 07:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. As the editor who originally added the {{prod}}, I may be biased, but the article at that time read like a {{hoax}}. Now it just looks like a non-notable school-age athlete. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 08:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete not a pro or notable athlete. Canuck85 08:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Per my comment on the article Talk page, the article contains many implausible claims, and no references. A hoax seems possible. I left a message for the article creator indicating my doubts and urging him to clarify the situation. As a technical point, I think {{prod}} should be not be applied twice. A contested prod should go to AfD if editors believe the article is still inadequate after the removal. EdJohnston 12:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Certainly not notable, and very possibly a hoax. пﮟოьεԻ 57 12:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - probably a hoax, even if not he is non-notable. GiantSnowman 13:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete reeks of hoax. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:29, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete nonnotable (and boastful) junior player. NawlinWiki 15:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• To be fair, at least he only claimed to be the second best junior goalie of the 20th century..... ;-) ChrisTheDude 15:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, above comments. Pig^man 16:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I've been watching this article since it was first created. I didn't add any tags to the article, (but I did replace a {{prod}} tag when the author removed it, as the tag itself says "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to its deletion for any reason." neither of which the author did). I have searched Google, and the website of the team the person supposedly plays for, and can find no confirming information to verify the claims made. No reliable sources are given, and this seems to me to likely be created by someone with very high hopes and dreams, but is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article.
