CSD declined, PROD declined. No sources that he meets WP:NSOCCER. Dewritech (talk) 14:23, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because it is substantially the same article:

Keep I declined the A7 and the BLPprod as they clearly don't apply to this article. According to the article the chap "has played for many clubs in the Iran Premier Football League". If true that makes him notable. The article currently lacks a reliable source and there is plenty of scope to improve it, but no reason to delete as there is nothing wrong with it that can't be fixed through regular editing. Though presumably sources will mostly be in Farsi which unfortunately I can't speak. Ϣere SpielChequers 14:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It should have been speedily deleted because the article does not make a credible claim of significance or importance. The single source is utterly unreliable, and perhaps even fictional. We should not keep articles simply because the subject may be notable or sources may exist. The onus is on the article creator to provide at least a hint of evidence as to the notability of the subject before clicking save page. Finally, WP:BLP applies, so the article can be deleted on that basis alone. - Mr X 15:11, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I had already prodded the first article created by same editor yesterday, Seyed Mohammad Mousavi, as he's not yet notable per WP:NFOOTBALL. On his website he claims to have played for the Iranian Premier League sides Esteghlal Ahvaz F.C., Foolad F.C., etc. Esteghal has a Jamal Mousavi, and Foolad has a Cyrus Mousavi, but there's no mention of this player that I can find in English or Farsi (I've added the Farsi spelling to Seyed Mohammad Mousavi), and nothing in Soccerway or Transfermarkt.

Speedy delete - This is a hoax. I watched his videos, and there is no mention of his name in the videos. I made a search in Persian and what is Captain Conundrum says is correct.Farhikht (talk) 15:51, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
