Promotional autobiography about a college footballer. Fails to pass WP:NFOOTBALL as it appears he has neither played professionally nor on a national team. Bensci54 (talk) 17:39, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

delete doesn't a autobiography count as a self published source, and isnt that not allowed? Im really bad at this (talk) 17:50, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• comment As nominator, I don't disagree with deletion, but I just want to clarify. I refer to it as an autobiography based on the author's username starting with Mubarak. It was not sourced off of writings by the subject. The author did reference two sources, neither of which was self-published. However, both sources are primary sources: the actual website of the award he won, and the website of the team he transferred to. No reliable independent sources were provided.

• Delete Fails to pass WP:NFOOTBALL, as in has not played at the professional level (still in college sports). Separately, not an attempt at autobiography, just that the creating editor also has first name Mubarak, who has since explained on own Talk page is agent for Mubarak Haruna. The editor has been instructed to comply with WP:PAID. David notMD (talk) 18:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• comment i now understand the autobiography thing, but i still think it needs to be rewritten by someone not paid or deleted entirely Im really bad at this (talk) 18:42, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete We have very strong policies against people editing articles related to themself, and we need to enforce those articles. Wikipedia is not a platform for self promotion and we must delte swiftly and powerfully anything that reeks of that lest we become such a platform. This applies also to people working as agents for other people. You do not get to pay someone and then have them create material on Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:33, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:GNG, and doesn't look to have played anywhere near the level of professional football which is generally needed to be notable. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:16, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. Didn't even play a game in the NCAA Division I, yet alone at a level to be notable. Keskkonnakaitse (talk) 15:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
