Canice Doran

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

Not sure if this is a hoax or a misspelling, but there is something odd at work here. If the claims are true, notability is not in question per WP:ATHLETE, but I couldn't verify them via Google, nor is the subject listed in the current squad of his purported team.

 * Delete Speedy Deleted twice and PROD all on 24th Jan. Paste  Let’s have a chat. 14:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for all the reasons listed and for the opinion making up a substantial part of the article stating him to be a good forward. That comment is non-encyclopedic as well. The two sentence article is less than a stub. The page should probably be transwikied into Wiktionary. Spencer Divonn'io the Glorious 16:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete My reason for PROD on January 24th still stands: "Non-notable footballer. 21 non-wiki ghits, none of which show a professional career, 0 non-wiki gnews hits."-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  17:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 14:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on his club's official website and every single other hit bar one forum posting is Bebo. This must be a new all-time low for internet coverage of an alleged professional sportsman..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as blatant hoax. Per ChrisTheDude, no such person on Cork City website, nor is there such a person on the Football Association of Ireland website, unusual for an alleged under-21 international... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If I had to take a guess (which I don't, but I will anyway), I'd say Canice is a boy who is a big Derry City F.C. fan, and one of his mates has made this article with the rival team's name as a joke. I say this because a Canice Doran has been active in Derry City forums, and this seems to be his myspace.   Flying  Toaster  16:18, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete suspected hoax, certainly has not notable for football achievements, fails all counts of notability per WP:ATHLETE and WP:FOOTYN and WP:BIO-- Club Oranje Talk 09:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
