Adama Keita

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Biography of an African football player which is at best non-notable and at worst a hoax. De-prodded with no reason given by article creator.

Google for "adama keita" (with quotes) gives a rubbish collector as one of the top results which is not encouraging (and no relevant results, of course). Worse still, Google returns no relevant results for either "Adama Keita" "Africa Sports" or "Adama Keita" "Denguelé Sports d'Odienné" (swapping surname and first name gets even worse results).

Furthermore, the creator of this article has confessed on the talk page of the article and my user talk page that no sources are forthcoming - the only way to verify this player exists is to call the club, which is not allowed for Wikipedia articles. Given this blatant confession it makes no sense for this article to survive any longer. Unless sources are added, my opinion is strong delete. Kimchi.sg (talk) 01:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
