Nominating in lieu of PROD. User:Mattythewhite nominated for PROD. I removed the PROD notice because I think this has the possibility of being notable and should be discussed by the community. I am neutral on this nomination. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 18:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete . I searched for notability for this related AfD and found none. Dricherby (talk) 19:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you mean that you searched for notability of Paul Whelan (football) or of futnet? •••Life of Riley (T–C) 21:02, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity. I searched for both Paul Whelan and Futnet and could not find notability for either. Dricherby (talk) 21:14, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

 *  Delete  Redirect per Dricherby – Appears to be a neologism not covered by independent reliable sources. Fails WP:GNG. – Kosm  1  fent  08:10, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect – Futnet is the new name for Football tennis per this. Edinburgh   Wanderer  11:32, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Edinburgh Wanderer (replacing my earlier !vote). We then have the related question of whether football tennis is notable. I found one source on the BBC and added it to Football tennis but boy, oh boy, is it hard to find sources for that sport as every sports page of every newspaper in the universe covers "Football, Tennis, Cricket, ..." and pollutes every Google search I can think of. Dricherby (talk) 14:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I am wondering if the redirect should go the other way: football tennis → futnet; i.e., move football tennis. The reference found by Edinburgh Wanderer above states that futnet is the new name for football tennis. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 16:10, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That does make sense but, as yet, the new name has zero notability, whereas the old name does have a little. Until the new name catches on, I'd say it's just a neologism. Dricherby (talk) 16:42, 27 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect for now, and then we can have a WP:RM if anybody wants. GiantSnowman 10:17, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
