Terry Heartsfield[edit]

Contested PROD. Notability not established. Possibility of becoming notable in the future, but not yet. role^player 10:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak keep~~ Well, if the book the article speaks of, is really due to be published, that should establish notability and he does play for a renowned club. I think when in doubt about whether to delete it or not, keeping it will not do any harm... So#Why ^{review me!} 10:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per reasons below, I forgot to think about looking up arsenal.com. So#Why ^{review me!} 13:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete. As the WP:FOOTY wikiproject have determined, a player is non-notable in sporting terms until they've made a professional appearance - or more accurately, a full appearance at senior level. This kid hasn't. May become notable due to an unreleased book? Well, if the book is ever released, then there's a chance may become notable as a consequence, but it would be such a weak notability... sheesh, the fact the only two ghits for "Terry Heartsfield" are this AfD and the article indicate a total lack of non-notability. Looking at Arsenal.com I can find zero mention of such a player. This is either an incredibly obscure player, failing notability on that level or an unfunny hoax. Kill this non-article until player becomes notable. If at all. Minkythecat (talk) 11:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:ATHLETE. Giant Snowman 14:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Super strong delete - no appearances for any professional football team, therefore fails WP:ATHLETE, no non-Wiki hits on Google at all, so fails WP:N, WP:BIO and WP:V, no non-Wiki hits on Google for alleged book about him, so fails WP:CRYSTAL. Think that about covers it..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as blatant hoax and therefore vandalism. No such person on arsenal.com or on TheFA.com. The squad for the U17 Euro2007, which the article claims he was on, is here; he's not in it. No ghits, no book. It's a blatant hoax. Struway2 (talk) 14:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
