 * Comment - My google news search seems to indicate that there may be two golfers named "Ferdie Catropa". It's behind a pay wall, but the summary of this article is about Ferdie and his twin brother Ernie who were both pro golfers.  The article is dated Aug 12, 1957 and the person that is the subject of this article is born on 1953.  A four year old pro golfer would be astounding.  Perhaps it is a relative.  This paywalled article does correspond to information  in our article.  A 17-year old Ferdie who is the subject of the article dated  Aug 20, 1970 would match a birth year of 1953.  None of the information that I can access can confirm that WP:NGOLF is met, but I'm neutral at this point. -- Whpq (talk) 17:10, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - At this point, I'm going with deletion for this article. The coverage I can find is almost all about the elder Ferdie.  The article states that the subject didn't win any tournaments on the PGA, and there is no evidence to contradict that assertion.  There's no evidence in anything I've found to indicate that any of the notability for a golfer is met. -- Whpq (talk) 14:38, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
