Daniel Farnworth

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

fails WP:GNG and WP:ATHLETE; contested prod VernoWhitney (talk) 18:13, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

This article is relevant, as this person has competed in, and won many major junior trap shooting competitions throughout North America and Europe, this can be proven through records found at the Dolphin Inn in Longton, Lancashire.
 * Comment I am including the below comments from the article's talk page for consideration regarding the prod and this AfD, as the two users involved in editing the page appear to be unfamiliar with Wikipedia. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:27, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Further proof of this is through the Omemee doctor, Jules Sobrian, as he has co-trained Daniel along with Daniel's father, at Peterborough Trap Shooting Club.

I have personally seen him shoot, and was impressed by his winning streak over the years.

Some people have been adding extensive information to this person's page. This page requires only information on him and his trap shooting, NOT information about his ancestry. I have deleted this information —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrapShooterPageCreator (talk • contribs) 17:50, 27 February 2010 (UTC) This article also complies with the article about Jules Sobrian and is significant as he has had management by him and should be considered a safe article. As long as this article stays unedited, then this page should be kept, because it explains his trap shooting. If any information is added that is unrelated, then this article should be revised. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrapShooterPageCreator (talk • contribs) 17:52, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Before the page was destructed by a user at a blocked IP address..it was then taken from my talk page, to make me look like a bad editor, I have since changed my password, and I will make sure this page will never get vandalized on here or my talk page, EVER. Thank you Wikipedia for your support. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.41.176 (talk) 18:20, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment More from the talk page VernoWhitney (talk) 18:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC):

"If anymore proposals for deletion come up for this page and it is because of vandalism from unregistered users, then it shall be deleted, but it will be unfortunate. I will try as hard I can to make sure no more info is added to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrapShooterPageCreator (talk • contribs) 18:25, 27 February 2010 (UTC) This shooter is a significant shooter throughout the UK and Canada. This wikipedia page should definately be kept.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.41.176 (talk) 18:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)"
 * I'd like to see reliable, third party sources that support that claim. Even so, I don't see subject meeting WP:Athlete. More info is not the problem. Information in significant coverage showing the subject meets notability requirements and backed by reliable sources is what we need.  Dloh  cierekim  21:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Due diligence. Unable to locate reliable, 3rd party sources on Google. References on page do not support claim to notability.  Dloh  cierekim  21:22, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete. I don't see any claim to notability in this article. Competing in the Canadian Trapshooting Championship doesn't appear to be a claim to notability given that I can't find any independent coverage of the event from the last 20 years or more. Also, there are no independent reliable sources about the subject provided in the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:42, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No indication of notability. Talk page comments might assert significance, but are unsupported. A lot of name dropping and insistence of importance, but wring it all out and there is no notability in the article as it stands.  Dloh  cierekim  21:15, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Those sources indicated on the Talk page deserve further research. Who will join me at the Dolphin Inn to check them out?  Woogee (talk) 21:19, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Woogee, as a former admin, you should have a clearer grasp of WP:RS. Cheerio,  Dloh  cierekim  21:25, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think, after a couple of pints, nobody will care. :)  Woogee (talk) 22:05, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Bloody well right, though we can't use OR. LOL. Alas, it's off to work I go.  Dloh  cierekim  22:10, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete unless third party sources demonstrating notability turn up in the entry. Currently there are none, and making a lot of noise on the AFD page won't solve the problem. Hairhorn (talk) 02:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, despite the fact that this was a contested PROD with an assertion of significance, it's been speedily deleted by User:Bwilkins.  Dloh  cierekim  12:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
