[edit] Robert Mushtare
The article, covering a bowler who bowled two certified perfect series under controversial circumstances, has serious problems. There are no sources, and except for a few isolated newspaper articles, there isn't much else to go on. A Google search for 'Robert Mushtare bowling' receives only 172 Google hits, many of which are forum discussions arguing about whether his scores are legitimate or not. It may be worth noting that there is no article on Jeremy Sonnenfeld, the first bowler to ever throw a perfect series (though I admit that that's a horrible argument for deletion on its own). Nevertheless, the general lack of reliable, unbiased sources makes me believe that the article should be deleted. Delete. Ral315 » 17:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as there are borderline BLP problems (the claims that he cheated). This wouldn't normally be as much of a problem, since a citation could be provided for the claims, but since the article as currently written is designed to emphasise the controversy rather than the achievement, I see that as a very big warning sign. For the record, Ral inadvertently removed the AfD template on the article. I've re-added it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
