David Price (Tunnel Ball)[edit]

An (almost) certain hoax. No sources supplied to assert any of the claims made. No evidence of the existence of tunnel ball as an international sport can be found on a quick web search, although I would be happy to be proved wrong. Mattinbgn\^talk 01:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was tempted to speedy delete this, but there was a sufficent claim of notability. The article does appear to either be a hoax or about a non-notable person though. Nick Dowling (talk) 02:06, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Probably WP:COI, created by user:Bazzajim, article states David Price (Bazzajim) implying that it is himself writing, can not even find a article on Tunnel ball and can not find any WP:RS for tunnel ball (should say references as a notable sport does not exists, tunnel ball exists [1] but does not look like a sport with a world champion ship), so should have some kind of hit in google, but I can find none, would agree with speedy. Very likely hoax. --Stefan ^talk 02:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~G3 No proof that tunnel ball is a sport, no sources, no anything. Very likely hoax. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]
Delete Likely hoax, non-notable no matter what. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, eyh, I played tunnel-ball when I was at primary school, but I find it somewhat dubious that it's played professionally. I think it's too plausible to be a G3 though. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Delete, per above. Probable hoax, and if not, unreferenced bio of a living person. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Delete Sources first, notable content second, article creation third. Too many junk articles are created when these requirements are implemented in reverse order. Professor marginalia (talk) 02:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an unsourced article about an unnotable person. Probable hoax, too. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 04:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No sources. Borock (talk) 06:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete An unreferenced article on a totally unnotable individual. Artene50 (talk) 07:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:N: there isn't any assertion of notability, and there is a complete lack of citations. Happyme22 (talk) 23:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
