Short, poor grammar article with no references. My attempts to find sources on Google and Dogpile did not turn up any hits. User who prodded the article thought it was confused with someone with a different name or that it was a hoax. Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 17:57, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The Arizona Cardinals have no record of him.[1][2].--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 08:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment per WP:AGF. From the author's other contributions, this looks like an honest mistake for Hercules Satele, who just signed with Cardinals a few days ago. This editor and others have been creating "NFL player" articles for based on the 2008 draft. See C.J. Hawthorne for example. • Gene93k (talk) 16:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Delete per WP:V. Probably not an intentional hoax, but not verifiable as true. • Gene93k (talk) 17:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm not sure if the author is confused with Hercules Satele or his cousin Samson Satele, but neither of them plays defensive tackle. I think it qualifies as a hoax in that this quite apparently isn't a NFL player, but I don't think it is any sort of clear bad faith. In fact, I would assume it was not. On the other hand, I really don't get short circuiting a proposed deletion just to nominate for AfD. I'm not saying that's bad faith, either. It's just puzzling.

  • Delete, hoax. Not necessarily intentional, but certainly not true. Stifle (talk) 21:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete let's at least wait until training camp and there's some media coverage of the players before creating articles on newly-drafted players.-- danntm T C 16:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Intentional or not, the material is false and thus perpetuates a hoax. (jarbarf) (talk) 22:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
