Michael Sturtridge

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable, if person even exists. Google search returns no hits when searching for football players named Michael Sturidge. Mediotiempo.com makes no mention of his signing either. And he's 14. Article links to what seems to be this guy's sites.--DethFromAbove 07:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Could find no WP:RS to support claims. --Evb-wiki 12:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only references supplied are to chat forums.  Smells like a windup. Hu 15:26, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Addendum: Delete all: delete the additional pages added to the nomination. Hu 01:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Not listed on the club's website as a player. Number   5  7  20:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a blatantly obvious hoax (lives in Australia and plays in Mexico? That's a heck of a commute, especially for a 14-year old!!!  0h and suggest an AfD also be created for the suspiciously similar Steven Borobio B. from the same creator.... ChrisTheDude 20:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete obvious hoax, he is 14 years old living in Australia and playing in Mexico. Yeah right. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦ · Talk 20:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - a hoax. Granted, a rather impressive hoax, but a hoax nontheless. GiantSnowman 20:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Another one to add to the hoax list that the same user has added Jose Joaquin Martinez. Same thing, same hoax, also should be deleted. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦ · Talk 20:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - obvious hoax. This should also apply to Steven Borobio B. and Jose Joaquin Martinez.  Daemonic Kangaroo 21:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Dont delete - Michael Sturtridge, for sure its an obvious hoax, but i don't understand the situation with Steven Borobio B. and Jose Joaquin Martinez. How are they hoaxes? Infact one of them are actually blank. Literally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paco pepino11 (talk • contribs)  05:37, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - neither article is currently blank, but the Martinez article is virtually identical to the Borobio one, even down to having the player name as Borobio throughout! I know nothing about Club América but they would appear to have three 14 year-olds in their line-up. That looks like a hoax to me. Daemonic Kangaroo 04:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - The Martinez one is blank for me. But Martinez actually does play for Club America though. I havent heard about any australian signings though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paco pepino11 (talk • contribs)
 * You yourself keep blanking the page, which is considered vandalism, btw. Nevertheless, since you are the author of these "articles," I have added db-author to Jose Joaquin Martinez. --Evb-wiki 12:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Whether they are hoaxes or not is irrelevant - these players do not play in a professional league so therefore fail WP:BIO. Dave101 →talk
