Carlos Burgos

I think this article might be a hoax. Burgos is not playing for UCF, and I see no evidence for the other claims in the article. Zagalejo^^^ 05:41, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:ATHLETE. A search for sources across Google and Google News returns unrelated results. This article is probably not a hoax, since the article does not make any spurious claims. I strongly suspect it's autobiographical, though. In the last paragraph of the article, the creator of this article writes, "Carlos transferred to UCF where he will be a walk-on and hopefully play the 2008-2009 season. Burgos' plans are to attend college and study Criminal Justice and play basketball." Since the article was created in July 2008 (probably before the UCF basketball players were chosen), this looks like speculation by someone with a WP:COI. Sadly for Carlos Burgos, he didn't make the UCF team as seen in Zagalejo's link. Cunard (talk) 07:45, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I do think the claim about playing for the Bayamon Cowboys is spurious. Here are some shots of the Cowboys' official roster page between 2006 and 2007. He's not there. Zagalejo^^^ 19:08, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - As a blantant hoax. The only player whose last name was "Burgos" to play in 2004 (his supposed "rookie year") is named Gary Joe and the same goes for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. As a matter of fact my BS-meter went skyhigh as soon as I read the article, it is really strange that someone who followed the BSN from 2004-2006 first hand hasn't heard of this "phenom". -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H.
