John Bennetts

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Prodded as an unsourced BLP and possible hoax - I can't find any online mention of either Bennetts or the named footballer he represents, and being "voted highest earning football agent" seems an oddly made-up claim. Article creator removed the prod and copypasted the content over the top of the unrelated Jonathan Bennett (mathematician) article. McGeddon (talk) 11:45, 30 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as hoax. This is a blatant hoax. No such agent (or player) exists. (Even obscure youth players at a club like Arsenal have thousands of Google hits.) Incidentally, an agent in the English Premier League who "made £2.5million in deals" last year would certainly not be the "highest earning football agent" in a league that regularly generates hundreds of millions in transfer fees annually.

 * Delete as a hoax per above in addition to being an unreferenced BLP (granted, only for a few hours thus far). -- Non-Dropframe   talk   14:34, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete by all means as there is simply nothing to save this and my searches only found links for a BBC sports journalist John Bennett. SwisterTwister   talk  15:59, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
