Aaron Overbeek

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can't find any evidence that Overbeek played an NFL match (searched NFL.com, pro-football-reference.com, etc.), so he fails the relevant sport-specific notability guideline and I can't find any significant coverage in independent reliable sources, so he doesn't pass the general notability guideline either.

 * Delete. This appears to be a hoax.  The article makes claims to having played college football for the University of Michigan and pro football for two NFL teams.  A search of Michigan's historical roster database here shows the first claim to be false.  Also, no record of him ever being affiliated with an NFL team.  The article was created two weeks ago (on Halloween) by a user (Iknowitall1979) who has never made another edit.  Bogus sources were then added by a user (Overbeek1010) who also has never made another edit. A third newly-created account (Simonsays48836) then showed up to further embellish the article.  I suspect that all three of these users are the same jokester.  Facebook has a page for Mr. Overbeek who appears to be a Michigan football and professional wrestling fan.  Can this be speedy deleted?  Cbl62 (talk) 02:53, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

 * BTW, per Cbl62, it does look like SOCKPUPPET with 3 SPAs all used only on this article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:57, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
