Dennis McCarthy (football player)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod, suspected hoax. The subject is supposedly a multi-sport high school phenom whose promising collegiate career was derailed by injury. A google search for "Dennis McCarthy" + "Catholic Memorial High School" yields zero hits, kind of odd if he was such a powerhouse there. Even if it's all true, he still would not meet the general notability requirements for athletes, having never played in college. The IP who contested the prod said that this person "participated" while at Northeastern University, but there doesn't appear to be any reliable sources confirming that this person ever played football there, or anywhere else for that matter. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

wow okay delete if you want, he's just a nice guy who goes to my school that i thought should get some credit. the info is in the media book they hand out, i know he had a really bad injury in 2000 or 2001 and had a lot of surgeries and missed time and kinda fell off the radar, i'd also consider that during his best years most of that information wasn't readily posted on the internet. he did get a scholarship to college and is working hard to get back on the field, check facebook and look at his football pictures...or just delete. its not a hoax he's a real guy. not a "phenom" or a "powerhouse" just a guy who had a bad break, please delete if its a problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbfb (talk • contribs) 11:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
