Totally unsourced blp. No google hits, none at all. Either profoundly non-notable or a hoax (leaning more toward the latter since the name+football yields not even the facebook/twitter/linkedin crud). I tried to BLPprod it but the page creator removed the tag without providing sources, so we have to go around for the whole AfD process. Happy Squirrel (talk) 23:10, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I initially tagged this as a possible hoax, not having found anything online to corroborate the subject's existence. The claim He joined FC Khutoryanin Veydelevka on 1 September 2005 for a fee of 4 bags of cement and concrete mixer but was released a year later is a tip-off. And this [1] is the definition of a photshopped image.2601:188:0:ABE6:99FD:4E02:9E12:4A31 (talk) 23:14, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for all the reason above. Should probably be a speedy delete. Into The Fray ^T/C 23:18, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The author of the article seems very determined to remove all templates from the article. To date they have removed maintenance templates twice, a BLPprod and an AfD template. The AfD template is currently back, courtesy of Cyberbot. I don't want to edit war over this, but I want to mention this to the closing admin. Happy Squirrel (talk) 23:26, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment After viewing a second photoshopped image, I've nominated this for speedy deletion as a blatant hoax. 2601:188:0:ABE6:99FD:4E02:9E12:4A31 (talk) 23:27, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as a hoax. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note the player didn't appear on the Valencia CF Mestalla squad list until 4 hours ago, when an IP added them here- obvious evidence of a hoax. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:34, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Given that we all agree this is a blatant hoax, is there a way to request a speedy closure? Speedy delete templates don't seem to last long with the page creator. Happy Squirrel (talk) 23:37, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well an admin can just speedy delete it. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:38, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
