Miguel Tevez

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability of the individual in question has not been asserted. If anything, he is most notable for being the brother of a notable person, and having allegedly signed for his brother's club. If and/or when Tevez makes an appearance for a professional club, the article should be recreated, but at the minute he does not meet Wikipedia's stringent notability criteria. - PeeJay 22:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep: distinctly non-trivial coverage in at least three reliable independent sources, including The Sun, the Daily Mail and the Lancashire Evening Post  means he meets the notability criteria, independent of whether or not he's played a professional match. --Pak21 08:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete; No assertion of notability except by being brother to a notable footballer. Notability is not inherited. The information could be incorporated in the Carlos Tévez article instead. Sebisthlm 09:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: "currently on the books of English Premiership Champions Manchester United", "considered one of his country's top young talents." What is an assertion of notability if they're not it? --Pak21 11:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no official confirmation from Manchester United or Boca Juniors that Miguel Tevez has actually moved to England, and a short story by The Sun is not a valid substitute in my opinion, given The Sun's reputation for exaggerating stories. As for him being considered "one of his country's top young talents", that is a matter of opinion and cannot be backed up by any official source. - PeeJay 12:24, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BIO. It may contain references from reliable sources, but, for example, if there was an article by the Guardian on my grandmother's foot, would that make it notable? No, it wouldn't. And keeping him because he's "currently on the books of English Premiership Champions Manchester United" is just preferential treatment towards the big clubs. And why does him being "considered one of his country's top young talents" even matter? Mattythewhite 15:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge with Carlos Tevez: currently fails WP:BIO. Peanut4 18:21, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Mention at Carlos Tevez and redirect there. Consensus is that non- or minorly-notable relatives of notable people are mentioned in the notable person's article (only). Stifle (talk) 21:05, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - mostly peacock terms, weasel words and tabloid gossip. Nothing verifiable or substantial. Qwghlm 12:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable sources about Tevez from more than one news story are provided. Tribal is a long way from a RS. Nuttah68 18:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not appear to have played in a fully professional league (WP:BIO). пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  08:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete he has not played in a fully professional league (not for Boca or for Man U), therefore fails WP:BIO, if we allowed articles about kids out of all the major football team acadamies, we would end up with categories full of 9 failed footballers for every professional. Recreate the article when he has played a professional game, not before. King of the North East  (T/C) 19:53, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Won't be notable until he regularly features in 1st team. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 07:56, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, nonnotable --- unless can be proven otherwise. Did this guy win the world cup or give his salary to AIDS research or something like that?  Mindraker 10:41, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
