[edit] Manu de la Playa

Tagged for AfD by anon IP 86.138.234.160 (talk · contribs) with the note "a joke and a hoax". Completing nomination. Fan1967 00:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

MESSAGE TO FAN-1967, IMPLICATING HIS VIOLATIONS OF SEVERAL RULES OF WIKIPEDIA. Even before it can be proved that these guys do not exist, which is an abberation, you have started removing them from other pages and links, commenting "pointless reference to high school player", an unfounded remark that will be reported to WikiAdmins. You have cheated us, now we solemenly ask you to apologize and let these guys' pages.

• DO NOT DELETE dont delete these guys, i've seen them on TV, half-time report of one of france game for the world cup! they seem awesome! why would you delete them? has ronaldinho been deleted yet?
• Delete Based on total failure of google search. Only hit is his name in the Wikipedia article on Reynald Pedros, a legitimate footballer. Considering that both articles have the same author, someone who knows FIFA really ought to take a good look at the Pedros
• Note See related AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William de Coburn, about a classmate of his who's also supposedly a rising soccer star, yet also fails google search. Fan1967 00:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Hoax/unverifiable. Grandmasterka 18:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• KEEP I know these guys wow that's crazy, I nenver knew they would make it to the top.... Call the french school these guys are real! Wow - T.Fillebeen—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.203.3 (talk • contribs)
• Delete just like the other article. Clearly a hoax page. DrunkenSmurf 19:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)article. Fan1967 00:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• keep them I am the one you should have emailed. I created these pages. I used to go to school with these guys and that's why I forwarded the pages to all my friend. They are real check for yourself on the school website. Damn sometimes people can be so stubborn and jealous too. I'm proud to be their friends and see that they've succeeded.

• Comment. If they are real students at the high school, I'm sure that's very nice. It doesn't mean they deserve an article. Are they notable soccer players, reported in the papers, signed by major professional teams? No. Even high school players get written up in the newspapers sometimes, or at least the best ones do. Seems these two haven't. Fan1967 23:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. No need to be jealous Fan-1967. As i cann see on your profile, the onyl thing you do is delete and speedy-delete. Instead of deleting try to create something. you are not creating anything, you won't be remembered. You're wikipedia' saddam.

• Speedy Delete, non-notable and fails google test. (Only Wikipedia result is returned) Likely a self promotion, qualify for CSD A7. --WinHunter ^(talk) 12:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Fails the google test? damn you're not a good tester then. Try Coburn or Manu they're everywhere.

• USEFUL, hey my name is Patrick Mixter. I know these guys. We played them last year because I'm a Dwight School and man they were the shit. There even were photographers and the rumor had it going that red bull ny were watching. And i guess it payed off. They kicked our ass. Don't delete or you'll regret it, that I'm sure...
• Delete vanihoax; the only footy player I can find on www.equipe.fr called Manu, or anything like that, is the Málaga CF player. The guy in the picture certainly wasn't born in 1985. Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
