Joe Dixon (footballer born 1989)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Footballer who fails the football notability guideline by never having played in a fully-professional league. The guideline makes it clear that being registered with a club in such a league isn't enough. Insufficient media coverage to pass the general notability guideline.

Delete - this article has been speedily deleted twice before as a hoax; even if the individual is real, he is certainly not notable. Giant Snowman 10:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. There is insufficient coverage for the subject to pass WP:GNG and he has not played in a fully pro league, meaning he fails WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:42, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the subject is a world away from meeting either the football notability guideline or the general notability guideline. The first citation is itself a hoax - as the comments at the foot show, this was a Wikipedia inspired "crap article" with an invented storyline. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 16:31, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Salt if necessary. Argyle 4 Life^talk 13:44, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not played at a notable level as per WP:NFOOTY. Also, a severe lack of any significant media coverage fails WP:GNG. --Jimbo^[online] 19:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
