Juninho and Tulio

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD. This is one article about two soccer players! Juninho may meet WP:ATHLETE, but what little is known about Tulio shows he definitely isn't notable. Therefore I would suggest deleting this article, and perhaps creating a new one on Juninho if sources can be found to show he is indeed worthy. GiantSnowman 04:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge to the New_York_Red_Bulls article. This article is less about the particular athletes (who are described as obscure in the article itself) than about the bizarre publicity based motivation for drafting them. However, it is clearly not an independently notable topic so a merge to the sports team is in order. Ben Kidwell (talk) 07:32, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is a bizarre situation. If Juninho can be proved to be notable then he can stay but this can't go on like this as the two aren't Siamese twins. Spiderone  08:18, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per Ben Kidwell. Apparently this article is about the Red Bulls drafting two obscure Brazilian soccer players whose names were similar to two better-known players. However, I can't even figure out who the better-known Tulio was. Do we have an article about him? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment It could be Marcus Tulio Tanaka Spiderone  08:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought that but Tanaka didn't begin his pro career until 2001, while the MLS Tulio was drafted in 1996. Maybe it's Túlio Costa? GiantSnowman 11:52, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
