Mikey Gray[edit]
- Mikey Gray (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Prod was removed with no explanation, the deletion rationale being, "Does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia per WP:Athlete as the subject has not played in a fully professional league, i.e. either the Premier League or the Football League". Possibly a hoax as there are no ghits for "Mikey Gray" + Gainsborough[1] or "Mikey Gray" +Worksop[2]. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Regardless of it being a hoax, he still doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE criteria. пﮟოьεԻ 57 00:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- player listed in several match day programmes!
- player was or is listed on Worksop Town website www.worksoptown.tripod.com , however site suggests information data could be wrong.
- player is very much real and not a hoax. Have seen the man himself play for Gainsborough.
- player still operates in his local sunday league
- player was with a professional club as a youngster —Preceding unsigned comment added by

With regard to the WP:ATHLETE criteria, the player has competed at one of the highest amateur level of football, aswell as being listed as a youth player for a professional club.
- Delete. Played only at the low levels of the English football system; I don't see this as meeting the notability hurdle of WP:ATHLETE. —C.Fred (talk) 01:24, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Competitors who have competed at the highest level in amateur sports.[9] " Something that the player has done! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Footballgy (talk • contribs) 01:34, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- AttentionThis player is missing a season. Look up for participation in the Polish league before considering deletion. I seem to remember there was an M Gray listed for Ruch Chorzow in 2006/2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.171.35 (talk) 03:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"HOAX" Please care to look at the above comments! He is even listed on Worksop Town!!!!aswell in matchday programmes. Please do not comment "HOAX" when it is clearly obvious you have not looked any furthher than this page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Footballgy (talk • contribs) 14:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Cool. Provide references. I can only find one reference to '"Mikey Gray" worksop', and that's at bebo.com, not exactly a hotbed of football reliability. Corvus cornixtalk 15:55, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Even assuming the player exists, he does not meet notability requirements anyway....... ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
www.worksoptown.tripod.com player listed as Mike Gray! information varies a little, but 100% positive is the same player. He did have a short stint in Poland, but its gonna have to take time to have a look. Maybe an idea to delete profile until a complete picture of the entire career can be put forward —Preceding unsigned comment added by Footballgy (talk • contribs) 18:11, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
