I originally deprodded a BLP prod due to the presence of sources in the article, but I can't actually find anything reliable other than, which is hardly in-depth. I was able to unreliably source him managing Persitara, but everything else may be a hoax. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 15:23, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Article is full of false information i.e. he did not play 33 times for Sheffield United, per this. GiantSnowman 17:59, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * That confirms my suspicions then. I also have my doubts over whether some of the listed teams ever existed. Really wish I hadn't wasted my time trying to improve this. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 18:12, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Some of the red-linked teams are real, others I do not know, they may be made-up. Either way, I have removed the infobox as blatantly false. GiantSnowman 18:22, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the infobox is what I put in, and where I realized that the entire article was pretty much one big hoax. I have the sneaking suspicion this may be one of those football con-artist people, especially as its his website that made these claims, but whatever.

 * Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:02, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Alexf(talk) 16:34, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - has not played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, failing WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 04:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment recently (April 3), a whole bunch of stuff was removed from the article. Nothing on the talk page--in fact there is no talk page.  Currently the article is stripped down to just a couple of sentences.  It seems to me that such huge edits should not be made without at least some justification on its talk page, even if it is AfD.Listmeister (talk) 15:57, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * If you actually look at the history properly, you'll see that I transferred the tables that were in the main body into an infobox, which was then rightly removed by another user as everything in it was a hoax, bar one thing. The edits I made were prior to the AfD, and considering I de-BLP prodded the article, I clearly wasn't doing anything underhand. Please, research properly before commenting.

 * Apologies for sweeping generalizations. It was mainly GiantSnowman's unexplained massive deletion that I was referring to anyway.  The deleted bit said he had played for Toulouse FC.  Has it been determined that that didn't happen? For the record, I don't much care whether we keep the article or not, it just bugged me that the article had been practically blanked out with no explanation.Listmeister (talk) 18:44, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It's been determined that the Sheffield United bit was definitely a hoax, therefore I would expect everything else to be. GiantSnowman DID explain his deletion in this AfD, by the way. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 18:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
