[edit] Trio Of Italians

Trio Of Italians (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Irrelevant article about the signings of three football players, none of them notable for an encyclopedia. No citations for the amount of money paid for transfers, and POV issues. Plus even the title is wrong. Udonknome (talk) 01:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Until the information is properly sourced, I have to !vote delete. The notability of these football players is questionable until the information is verifiable. If sources are provided that make this article verifiable and assert notability, then I will change my !vote. Billscottbob (talk) 01:29, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is no source that this term is ever used in any news sources, instead it just looks like a fan's view of three "crappy" players. Chanheigeorge (talk) 02:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I think if the phrase has any weight it can be mentioned on the individual players pages; but as a single page for the three it serves no real purpose on wikipedia. The players are notable in Italy as all have played in senior games at the highest level--but they then should have individual pages, like Manini. Stochil (talk) 03:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete: unreferenced, borderline with BLP vio. MaxSem(Han shot first!) 07:30, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment The phrase has been used, see [1], not sure about the quality of the m though. Bevo74 (talk) 07:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete article, although all three did play for Forest in the First Division - therefore they do warrant individual articles. Oddly, the article on Moreno Mannini does not mention his time at Forest even though he played 8 games Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 08:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete – POV, lack of citations and the bad title alone are not reasons to delete as these problems can all be cleaned up. Each player is notable in their own right and could have their own article, however they don't seem to be notable enough to have a seperate article about the three in this context. I'm also not convinced that this term is in common use. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 08:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per all the above. пﮟოьεԻ 57 09:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete – Aside above reasons, the article intends to discredit 3 players contribution. It would've been acceptable if there was any source --NAHID 10:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - it's POV City, and this article's the Mayor. GiantSnowman (talk) 13:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - major cruft. Pretty much no encyclopedic content and hugely POV to boot. Peanut4 (talk) 19:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Since I'm the one proposing the deletion, 'Irrelevant article about the signings of three football players, none of them notable for an encyclopedia. No citations for the amount of money paid for transfers, and POV issues. Plus even the title is wrong.' Udonknome (talk) 21:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
