Possible hoax-based off of the years he would of been 11 when he started playing-though the link on the Italian wiki linked to a guy born in 1904-not sure what to say about this. Wgolf (talk) 20:35, 24 October 2015 (UTC)Withdrawn[reply]

okay I just went through the history-it was vandalized over the Summer it looks like-surprise nobody caught that first hand. Wgolf (talk) 20:36, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn-was vandalized, didn't notice it till after I put this up. Wgolf (talk) 20:39, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Split histories. The article was originally about this Portuguese footballer and then got repurposed as a Mexican footballer. It was originally titled Francisco Santos (Portuguese footballer) but got moved to its current title and then got inadvertently repurposed to the Mexican footballer. This has caused a great deal of confusion amongst editors with a period where there is a mix of information on the page. The articles should be separated into two pages, the two persons need to be considered separately, if indeed either of them are deletable. SpinningSpark 23:44, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And even worse, the full name of the Portuguese player is Francisco Dos Santos, but that page is about a Brazilian footballer. SpinningSpark 23:48, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
