Non notable subject that clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC Jovanmilic97 (talk) 09:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as WP:G3, blatant and obvious misinformation. Bakazaka (talk) 22:36, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete under WP:G3 as a hoax. Ah, yes, "captain of the Ghanaian Tiddlywinks team" and "Umbubu announced his retirement from competitive Tiddlywinks on 5th March 2015, citing arthritis in his left hand as the main reason for ending his career." you gotta love the creativity! Notice how the article started out saying
Phillips Patrick Solomon Umbubu is a retired tiddlywinks player
only to change the intro to read
Phillips Michael Kobena Umbubu is a retired tiddlywinks player
While a Phillips Michael Kobena exists and a Phillips Umbubu exists, all searches confirm that no person named Phillips Michael Kobena Umbubu ever existed, let alone one playing Tiddlywinks. I am accordingly going to tag the article with {{db-hoax}}. Sam Sailor 15:46, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
