Steven Burstyn

 * – ( View AfD View log )

At first glance, this looks to be a very well sourced article on a highly notable footballer but, upon closer inspection, cracks start to appear. He has played in the fourth tier of Sweden, which is three divisions below the professional level and likely amateur. The article then alleges that he has received offers from Icelandic third tier and Spanish fourth tier clubs before signing for a fourth tier American club, none of this indicative of WP:NFOOTBALL. The claims of being 'very close' to playing for The Philippines but falling short because of 'paperwork issues' are effectively unsourced.

When we remove all of the Blogspot, Facebook, forum posts and other non-WP:RS, there are no effective references remaining. Searching Steve Burstyn and Steven Burstyn isn't coming back with anything decent. The only news story that I could find was a Fastbreak article about eating ice-cream. Fails WP:GNG as far as I can see. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:47, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
