Article of a person that fails WP:NOTABILITY. A quick google search yields mainly wikipedia mirrors of the article; only source provided is an extremely short 3 paragraph obituary. Ljgua124 (talk) 01:03, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- COPYVIO. The article seems to be a word-for-word copy of the BBC website article. And I doubt that football talent scouts are really notable, even if serving a club as notable as Manchester United. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:58, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete - Fails WP:GNG. Scouts are only notable in extraordinary circumstances and this is not demonstrated here at all. Google also yields precious little. Spiderone 21:12, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 18:45, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
