There is no evidence that this player has done anything of note. Despite what the article implies, he never played first-team professional football in England. The matches referred to appear to be friendly or reserve-team games. I am not sure that seven appearances for Cincinnati Kings is sufficient to make him notable. The player of the same name shown at the "Neil Brown" website was active 40 years ago. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:25, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I agree that his appearances for the reserve/youth teams or for the Kings wouldn't be enough to satisfy WP:ATHLETE, but if there was some verification that he played in the Gambrinus Liga it would be. I haven't found anything yet though... Bettia (talk) 09:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He is mentioned in relation to FK Baník Most on this webpage but as it's in Czech, I have no idea what it says about him. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 11:57, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
According to Google's magic translating machine, it says "Most couples had already left the invaders Kiril Čokčev - Danny Campbell. Petr Kabíček nevylučuje možnost, že se zde v létě objeví znovu. Peter Kabíček not exclude the possibility that there will again this summer." So not very helpful really..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:12, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - does anyone have a PlayerHistory.com subscription? His profile doesn't mention the Gambrinus Liga, but it does mention 7 career appearances - 5 for the Kings (which isn't enough as it isn't a fully-pro team) and 2 more for anonymous English/Scottish teams...GiantSnowman 11:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Soccerbase has no record of him, so he didn't play professionally in England or Scotland. Also, "He was in and out of the team that season suffering with a drop in form and confidence. Against Oldham Athletic in August 2003 he suffered a torn cruciate ligament preventing him from playing until April 2004 where he returned away at Victoria Park against Hartlepool United creating the equalising goal in a game that ended 4–4" is either made-up or else refers to the reserve/youth team, as Stockport's first team did not play such matches -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:30, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: There appears to be no verification that has competed at a fully professional level, therefore this subject fails WP:V and WP:ATHLETE. Bettia (talk) 13:13, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see that another article on the same player at Daniel Campbell (soccer) was deleted in March 2008 with a block on its re-creation. (see User talk:Dannyc85). Danny Campbell (soccer) was also deleted in March 2008. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:33, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Both of which are identical to this article. Unfortunately, neither of those were deleted via AfD so this probably wouldn't be eligible for speedy deletion under CSD:G4. Ah well, let's let this AfD run its course then it can be used to speedy any further copies that crop up. Bettia (talk) 15:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
