Speedy deletion nomination of Global Football Family (Football Agency)


A tag has been placed on Global Football Family (Football Agency) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:27, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, PhilRichardsGFF. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Global Football Family (Football Agency), you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Proposed deletion of Tom Davies (footballer, born 1993)


The article Tom Davies (footballer, born 1993) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Possible hoax, I can find no sources saying they actually played for Portsmouth. The sources all mention the player, but links to a player who's played for Fleetwood, Lincoln and FC United of Manchester, none of which are mentioned here.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, I'm Joseph2302. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Lincoln City F.C., but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.  says he isn't currently playing for Lincoln.

Tom Davies (footballer, born 1993)
Hello Phil Richards.

I wanted to let you know that I expanded the article that you created at Tom Davies (footballer, born 1993). I added several more references to show that Davies has been covered by numerous WP:RS and that he passes WP:GNG. I added to the discussion about the possible deletion of the article here:. Any interested parties whether for or against are allowed to discuss and vote one way or another if they prefer. I was not sure if you knew that as the creator of the article, you are allowed to discuss and/or vote there if you care to. I enjoy doing research, so if you have any other articles that you are working on, I would be glad to help. Have a good day sir!    מען טאָר ניט עסן די חלה פֿאַר דער המוציא (talk) 01:33, 26 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Just so you know, this user is the only user who thinks the person is now notable enough, everyone else still disagrees. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:55, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

No personal attacks or insults, please
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Davies (footballer, born 1993). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --Diannaa (talk) 02:26, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
