Contested PROD from July 2009! No evidence this footballer meets WP:ATHLETE or WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 00:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I must be seeing things. There's a silly and unnecessary "if you came here" box that displays in the presence of other articles, but there's no evidence in the history of the editing of the article. If anyone else sees it, please let me know. Mandsford 01:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I can see it on the AfD log page for today but not on [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank Morris (footballer)]]. It must be transcluding from somewhere else due to some faulty formatting or something, but for the life of me I can't see where...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:57, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It was transcluding from the article below. Fixed now.—S Marshall T/C 09:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I've only found one source, so this chap verifiable but as far as I can tell he isn't individually notable. That means he shouldn't have his own article, but there are few circumstances in which it's appropriate to remove verifiable information from Wikipedia and I don't see why this should be one of them, because there's an alternative to deletion which we should prefer—we could start a List of Bohemian F. C. players and make this into a redirect to it.—S Marshall T/C 11:12, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- A perfectly reasonable and ideal solution. There are numerous non-notable League of Ireland players from the 1950s and beyond with articles, and redirecting to a list makes perfect sense. GiantSnowman 11:17, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you like me to create the redirect, begin the list and close this AfD under WP:SK ground 1?—S Marshall T/C 11:58, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah go for it. FYI, another related AfD you may be interested in is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Morris (Irish footballer). Thanks, GiantSnowman 14:04, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
