Brad Ahern

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

Hoax/non-notable article. Initially created claiming that he was an Australian footballer who played over 100 times for Brazil. Then recreated claiming he was a football coach who had coached many of the world's best known players. Now had a section added claiming that he was an orienteerer with a link to the Australian 1982 championships, in which there was a person called Brad Ahern, though I don't believe he is notable. пﮟოьεԻ  5  7  11:16, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The article now claims he is notable for baseball as well, must be a joke. Do they even play that in Australia? Northwestgnome (talk) 11:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, yes, but it's a minority sport. Most Australians would know the basics of how to play, but probably haven't watched a full game.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC).

 * Comment Of course they play baseball in Australia - see Australian Baseball Federation. The article above is bogus however. -- Mattinbgn\talk 12:43, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment, the NEITA award thing at least is true: . The rest sounds fairly implausible however, the orienteering chap didn't even finish the course so I don't see how that proves he was #9.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC).

 * Delete as a waste of space. Ridiculous article. No reliable references. No worthwhile content. Probably a hoax. Delete, quick smart.-- Lester  21:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
