Jack Boatman
I tagged this for proposed deletion a while ago. The tag was removed and I just got back to it, so here we are. It appears to be an unsourced vanity piece by a semi-professional or amateur football player (I can't tell which because I'm not an expert. I propose that we delete it. --Tony Sidaway 05:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Just a bored university student and his friend mucking about creating articles on themselves/each other - no notability whatsoever, article consists of a equal-parts mix of no doubt hilarious in-jokes and utter bollocks ChrisTheDude 07:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete Non-professional player, fails WP:BIO. Qwghlm 07:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Combination hoax and attack page. There were strong rumours that Sven Goran Eriksson was due to include Boatman in his England squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup if he cut down on his Hey Ewe attendance during the summer term - I think not. Boatman is still unsure of his sexuality - childish stuff. BTLizard 09:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
