Hi @Rightthewrongs10: It looks like you've deleted different amounts of material on different occasions so I'm not sure which parts you most object to.

Assuming you are Troy Halpin, I feel that details of your football career would be expected in any encyclopaedic entry but I wonder if there's a privacy argument in favour of removing some details about where you have worked since (especially since none of this information has citations). I am picturing something like

Troy Michael Halpin (born 17 August 1973) is a former Australian footballer.

... then the current career paragraph (which also needs citations). Then finish with the sentence

Halpin then held the role of player/coach in the Northern NSW NBN State Football League with the Toronto Awaba Stags FC before moving to Edgeworth Eagles FC where he continued playing whilst also overseeing youth development for the club in the 2010 season.

I wonder if that would be acceptable to you and other editors? Mgp28 (talk) 10:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
