James Rowe (footballer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Recreation of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was Fails WP:GNG as having not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and WP:NFOOTBALL as having not appeared in a fully professional league. This remains valid. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following article for the same reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:30, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete both as having never played in a fully-pro league. Finding sources for James Rowe is not easy - there is an ex-Birmingham City academy player with the same name. Even more confusing is that this Sky Sports article,, lists him as originally being a Bournemouth AFC player, not a Southampton one - although this is clearly a different player, as mentions him as being 19 in 2006 (the article dates are missing in the articles themselves, but  tells me they are 2006 sources), so this could even be a third James Rowe. The situation with Jamie Turley is far easier - he's the only player of that name, and I could only find one national source - a BBC article about his transfer.

 * Delete both - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 09:44, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete both - articles is about two footballers who hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented their country at senior level, which means they fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG because they hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 08:30, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
