James Knowles (footballer)[edit]

Was originally a prod, which was contested. Non-notabler footballer - hasn't payed in a fully professional league and so fails WP:BIO. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom, only played as far to the Conference National with Farsley Celtic. Sunderland06 (talk) 22:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. NN player; also article creator appears to be associated with a group of several users who have been blocked. Not vandalism, but definitely not encyclopaedic. DWaterson (talk) 18:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. PROD was apparently contested, but no rationale has been given as to why this article deserves to be in an encyclopedia. Article originally stated that this player had played at Premier League level, but as stated by Number 57 there is evidence against this; it also seems highly unlikely. The burden of evidence lies with the article creator to prove that this player is notable; they have so far been unable (or unwilling) to do so.
