The result was speedy keep as an example to bear in mind of how vandalism can cause the loss of articles. The article had been vandalized, and the vandalized version then speedily deleted, twice, by administrators who hadn't checked far back enough in the article's history to see the non-vandalized version. I've undeleted and reverted to the non-vandalized version, which is about the Mark Barry who is a member of BBMak. Uncle G 18:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't say that I'm quite familiar with the football fan scene in the UK, but this is surely a hoax article. It starts out by claiming such things as "the killing of a police horse in Glasgow which dared to stand on his foot", "the night he copped off with Kate Moss" and then just devolves into further nonsense. This explanation is probably much more than the article deserves. WP:BJAODN with it. --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Look like the page was actually about a musician, and someone vandalized it to be about some imaginary football player. It's been reverted, so the AfD isn't necessary now. —NeoChaosX [ talk | contribs ] 18:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
