Criticism section has issues

The contents of the 'Criticism' section - and therefore the entire section - is unnecesary based on the legitimacy of the citations and lack of impartiality.

The cited source is merely a website aggregating random Twitter users, none of whom are authoratitive. The second citiation is highly questionable on grounds of impariality, coming from a former rival player who recently admitted to lying in his newspaper column. If this type of addition is allowed then the majority of football player articles would have something similar - 'opposition fans and former players criticise Player X' is too trivial to warrant entire sections.

I would also question the motivation for this section being added, as the user responsible has a history of adding criticisms to player articles based on rivalry rather than any serious merit. Latino Buggerveil (talk) 10:13, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. This has fairly decent sourcing for a football controversy. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:52, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

The sourcing for this is a bunch of people on Twitter, which is not an acceptable source. Latino Buggerveil (talk) 09:38, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

FIFA World Cup 2022

Adding this might be needed. Aside from the penalty miss against France, it's important to note what a small influence he had on the team. His goalscoring form was poor during the tournament. Assisting wasn't too bad, but that's not a strikers' job. 195.213.124.182 (talk) 10:08, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Season 2022-23

The text "Kane broke the record the following game when he scored the only goal in the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, becoming the first player to score 185 goals in the Premier League for a single club", is a bit clunky. If it was notable that he was the first player to score 185 PL goals for a single club, then it suggests that scoring 186/7/8 etc, should be equally notable. Might I suggest something along the lines of, "Kane broke the record the following game when he scored the only goal in the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers". 2A02:8084:26E0:AA00:A6B5:F9D1:D5C6:A39C (talk) 10:28, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Birthplace

He was born at Whipps Cross Hospital which is Leytonstone E11, not Walthamstow E17. He may have lived in Walthamstow and been brought up there but for accuracy it should say born in Leytonstone.Statto74 (talk) 09:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Do you have a source for exactly where he was born? If not, you shouldn't be making changes, especially not to an article about a living person (see WP:BLP). – PeeJay 21:13, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Notability of list of international goals scored article?

With his four goals in the first half of today's match against San Marino, he is only 5 behind Rooney's all time record for England and only 1 behind Jack Charlton, both of whom have articles for their international goals scored. Should we start on an article for his international goals now? It seems like it's now common to do that for every nation's top scorer and barring something catastrophic, he should eclipse Rooney's record in 2022. Maybe we start a draft now? Thanks. Rupert1904 (talk) 20:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

I agree, and second this. Just what I was thinking. About time, too. 41.58.59.98 (talk) 02:48, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Ps not Jack, Bobby. And the article in question was redirected as merge; instead of deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.58.59.98 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I was all for it, I think I voted keep in the AfD last time. It would have make the article slimmer! Govvy (talk) 11:30, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Oh yes, good point, it was Bobby not Jack... And Govvy, I didn't realize there had been an article before. Can we still access that deleted article? Would make building a new one a lot easier! Rupert1904 (talk) 22:27, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Well it was List of international goals scored by Harry Kane which has a hidden history that you can't see but can be restored by an admin. This is the AfD if you're interested, maybe you can ask the peeps that took part in the talk if they would re-consider? Govvy (talk) 22:41, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I am raising to the wider group now. Thanks Govvy. Rupert1904 (talk) 23:18, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

We really need it now. I think I am correct in saying that every player with 50+ international goals has a "list of international goals" page. Crystalpalace6810 (talk) 16:34, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

This mayn’t be strictly true. However maybe it should be. In any case we should now start with this article, 41.58.242.167 (talk) 18:29, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

There was a few discussions about this, one at WP:AN and one at WT:Football. I wanted to restore the article, but some of the admins have their own agenda and don't like to do serious work! It should be forked off in my opinion. Govvy (talk) 19:21, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Here we are again. Do we do now the needful and righteous? 41.58.239.42 (talk) 02:55, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 June 2023

I would like to remove inaccuracies under the desire to leave the Tottenham section. This is false information, at no point did Harry Kane express a desire to leave and there was never a bid of 125 million. This is all lies and false information that should be corrected. I would like to make sure Wikipedia information is accurate and not biased against Spurs. To maintain impartiality and accuracy this whole section should be removed.

Club status with Bayern and Tottenham

I know Kane's official announcement of joining Bayern hasn't officially been announced, but can I insert a sentence under his club career saying that Tottenham accepted Bayern's bid for him without changing his club status? The edit: "On August 10, Bayern Munich put forward an improved bid estimated to be in the region of £100 million with £20 million in add-ons; a record fee for the German club. The improved bid was accepted by Tottenham, bringing an end to Kane's 18-year association with the club" (citations included later). ArG 150 (talk) 13:18, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Please delete pointless reference 211:
< ref > "Bayern München: Verhandelt Tottenhams Harry Kane mit einem anderen Verein?". bild.de (in German). 2023-08-10. Retrieved 2023-08-12.</ref>

In referred article, the tabloid expressed speculations only, mainly that Bayern transfer could still fail. However, no proof of transfer fee.
WP:BILD The source is also generally considered unreliable. . "Outside exceptional circumstances, the source should normally not be used, and it should never be used for information about a living person".

I had to look up who Dale Jennings (footballer) was, I see he joined and played for the second team, that might suggest the original text in the article "He also became the third Englishman to join the club, following Owen Hargreaves and Omar Richards."
