Draft:Anthony Eugene Campbell[edit]

This has now been declined 9 times in six months - no amount of inline citations or formatting will change the issue here, which is a total lack of notability and a draft bordering on a hoax. The only tie to the NFL that this person has is that he once had a scout from the Patriots 'look' at him and that he may have coached some players who later went on to play for the NFL, all of which are, as far as I can find, unable to be verified by RS. If there is some other claim to meeting WP:NATHLETE, it's certainly not in this draft or in any sources I can find. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:09, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, and while I think salting right away is extreme, I see no prejudice towards a G4-style speedy delete if it's recreated without significant improvements. Primefac (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I agree that the fact it has been declined 9 times within six months does borderline tendentious editing. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 21:21, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt per WP:GNG failure; Chrissymad's point about the near-hoax, combined with edits such as this and this rather encourage me to add salt. — O Fortuna!^{Imperatrix mundi.} 18:03, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Boomer Vial, what does 'salt' mean in this context? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 21:17, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a function that administrators have. They can disable the creation of a page by title if it has been recreated multiple times after AfD/CSD/PROD, is an attack page, a copyright violation, etc. Also, it is more that customary to vote on an AfD/MfD only once.

Boomer is correct. The nickname "salting" comes from the idea that salting the earth prevents new crops from growing there. Bearcat (talk) 16:44, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Admin note the page has been resubmitted twice now since this MFD was started, with no improvements made. I've semi-protected the page until this MFD is over, if only to stop the disruption. Primefac (talk) 20:00, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with salt. The only claim of notability here that might qualify him for an article under any of our SNGs is completely unverifiable in any of the listed sources — and there's no media coverage about him being shown to mount a "notable anyway because media coverage" claim under WP:GNG. Creator's constant resubmission without improvement has crossed the line into tendentious disruption, so I don't particularly trust him not to try recreating it again anyway — so I do believe salt is needed.
