FIFA 11 Cover
Why was this deleted? this is relevent to him as the North America Version features him on the cover and surely this is a big moment in his career as he is featured on the largest football video game in the world, showing he is being reconised for his talents... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.68.182 (talk) 01:45, 31 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree with the removal. Firstly, the edit was not backed by any reliable sources, as Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. Secondly, being shown on the cover of a video game has no relevance to his career. I see it more of marketing strategy (for example to attract Mexican consumers). Thirdly, per WP:BLP, you always bear the burden to support your assertion that being featured on "the largest" football video game equates recognition of talent. I have doubts about this point and unless you come up with reliable sources on it I don't think it is appropriate the piece of information appears in the article.Craddocktm (talk) 15:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a good argument when other players that have appeared on the front cover have that segment of information on their own wikipedia article, especially big player names such as Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi. I will re-add the information again with sources.Gumbi93 (talk) 15:17, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

 * provide a link, official site say 5 matches 1 goal. --necronudist 08:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

http://www.udsalamanca.es/resultados.htm there


 * yes, I saw, 4 goals in how many matches? Did he play all the 9 matches? And why the other page say 5-1? Does UD Salamanca know how many match played Vela? They're more confused than us, I think :) --necronudist 13:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

They're a second division team,what did you expect from ther website? :P! and yeah he has played 9 matches :0

= Football Manager reference =

Removed as irrelevant.


 * agree --necronudist 11:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Date of Birth
The date of birth in the article doesn't match the one in the info box. Which is correct?

"Prostitution" allegations
this change was by.

 From: On 22 September 2010 it was announced that Vela and fellow Mexican international Efrain Juarez would be suspended from Mexico for 6 months for their involvement in a party in Monterrey following a game with Colombia on 7 September 2010.

To: On September 21 Vela (along with teammate Efrain Juarez) was suspended from playing international matches with the Mexican National team for the next six months, owing to an incident relating to a party after the 1-0 victory over Colombia on september 7. The party was suspected of including two prostitute and a transvestite. In addition to the suspension, he along with 12 other players will be fined a 50,000$ Peso (3942 Dollars) fine, and the money collected will most likely be used to help the flood victims in the Mexican state of Veracruz.

I undid that change.

The reference given does not mention two prostitute and a transvestite. Also, it makes no mention of the "flood victims"; it simply says donada a una institución de beneficencia, ya sea en Ciudad Juárez o Veracruz. - non-specific, therefore this is WP:SYNTH.

I do not believe it verifiable to cite a one-time TV broadcast; ie the reader of the article is unable to find that broadcast to check the facts.

We often say that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources". The allegations about prostitution are serious, and absolutely definitely need a solid reliable source - as explained in the BLP policy.

This has also been posted on Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard.

 * I see that, prior to my undo, had added a source with this edit,  which does indeed add a reference for the claim from a tabloid newspaper, with an article about "vice girls and a tranny". I did not realise that source had been added.


 * The article cited does, however, also say Players last night denied they had paid vice girls - and insisted they had innocently hired a hotel ballroom, and Salcido, 30, said: [...] the papers say we hired 15 prostitutes including a transvestite - and that did not happen. - therefore, this still seems questionable.

Real Sociedad 'transfer'
The three articles claiming he has moved to Real Sociedad are now broken links and Arsenal.com still lists him as an Arsenal player.
