Sourced to a blog that doesn't meet our WP:RS policy. — Dædαlus Contribs 21:09, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. GiantSnowman 21:17, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Now also sourced by this, which does meet RS policy, and shows notability. GiantSnowman 21:42, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, does that consitute a "reliable, third-party, published source"?--Vintagekits (talk) 21:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw - I'm just going to remove the unreliable source from the articles that contain it. People can add in reliable sources later.— Dædαlus Contribs 05:31, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep:
- there are hundreds of articles on Wikipedia with no reliable sources and which haven't been deleted;
- there is no doubt that the player in question is notable, having been named as an Ulster Footballer of the Year (this is referenced);
- there is no question of anything libellous being included in the article;
- there is no reason to query the accuracy of any of the information provided;
- "reliable sources" have been provided for much of the information in the article - so, even, if some material is based on an "unreliable source", there is still merit in retaining the article, even if some material is to be removed;
- finally, a request for additional sources is included at the top of the article, so it seems premature to be deleting it.Mooretwin (talk) 10:21, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
