Kayode Modupe-Ojo
Blatant hoax. No such person plays football for Bolton Wanderers or basketball for the Harlem Globetrotters. A Google search for his name shows nothing except a couple of postings to forums with similar false information, and a school newsletter from 2001. Article has previously had added, but original author  removed notice. Delete. Qwghlm 21:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Additional: The article Olukayode Modupe-Ojo covers the same person; although it is only a stub it is just as false as the larger article and should be deleted as well. Qwghlm 12:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. I had previously brought my concerns to the author's attention. As I mentioned on his talk page I'd not been back, except to notice that he'd been editting, presumably in response to my criticisms.  Back when the article was created I'd done what checking I could, and I had found only a couple news blogs mentioning this person's name, and always about a team being interested, testing out, considering him, etc.  I added a  with a reason, and echoed that with further explanation on the author's talk page.  Since I don't know if my 'research' was sufficient, I won't vote here.  So far I can't get any of the external links to work, but that might be editing problems (I see unclosed http tags - I'll fix them) Shenme 22:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete if any of this was true he'd have at least hundreds of GHits, not nine []. -- E ivindt@c 22:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I get two hits, one of which is this article. Fagstein 06:55, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Some or most things in the article are true, i am a huge basketball fan and i have witnessed this person play at the 2004 tour with the HGT but...he stopped trialing with bolton wanderers a few months ago so why the heck is the author stating that he is still a bolton player?!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.87.24.230 (talk • contribs)

 * Weak Keep Its really funny as to how this geezers name has come to light at this present moment. Im a dye hard bolton fan and last I heard of him was at a suppoters meeting back in feb and one of the topics was rumours concerning the club, He didnt actualy get the gig at bwfc coz they werent interested, then he pissed off to united, god knows what happened there! What i can say tho is that apart from the naming of bwfc as his current club, everything else seems to match up with the research I did on him (and it wasnt via google). I have a few contacts that work for bwfc and they have (sort of) heard of him. I dont think he deserves a mention on wiki coz he isnt a full-fledged premiership player. The author obviously has to do his bloody research before posting. Steve —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.203.115.160 (talk • contribs) 21:44, April 20, 2006.
