Article was tagged as hoax, but the speedy tag was removed and a WP:PROD tag added, citing GNG failure. However, the article is a blatant hoax, as detailed below, and hopefully will go quicker via AfD than via PROD.
- None of the "sources" cited in the article mention the subject
- I get just eleven Ghits for "Pavol Inga", three of which are to Wikipedia (the creator has also made an article on ro.wiki for this subject) or Commons, none of which refer to football. This is hardly likely for a current international footballer
- If this person were playing for FC Petrocub Hîncești, his name would appear in their squad list at worldfootball.net (ref #7 in the article); it doesn't
- That club played no matches on the dates that subject was supposed to have made his debut and scored his first goal (assuming the 2016 is a typo for 2015); no such person appears in the squad for the current season or for 2015/16, when he was supposed to have scored 15 goals. See Soccerway (ref#6 in the article)
- If this person had played in the international match against Malta last March, his name would be listed in the lineup {ref#8 in the article); it isn't. Or at national-football-teams.com. Or at the Moldova Football Federation website, who you'd think might know.
- The image is a copyvio of this one on the Crewe Guardian website which shows Pavol Suhaj, then playing for Nantwich Town F.C. It's hosted at a one-page create-your-own-free-website laughingly called plymouthargyleoffical.weebly.com

- Delete I agree that the sources don't mention Inga. Also, I couldn't find anything on a google search.ReusGang (talk) 10:04, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - probable hoax; either way certainly not notable. GiantSnowman 10:58, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - Is briefly mentioned on an article on revoly.com, probably did play for said club at some point but article is possibly highly exaggerated. There are also some sources citing a player called Pavol Suez-Inga (that is his given name in the article), which could possibly be the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DasTheGreen (talk • [) 11:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
- Could you please provide solid evidence? I have never heard of revoly.com and can't find that website. Spiderone 13:35, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
