Apparent autobiography with unverified claims of notability. Originally proposed for deletion as an unreferenced BLP, the article was expanded by the author to cite two references. However, a search of the referenced newspaper's website shows no results for this name. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:20, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Has not played at required level to confer notability. No other claim to fame. Non-notable footballer. Article asserts its own non-notability.--ClubOranje^T 00:14, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete - there is not even an assertion of notability. Bearian (talk) 21:23, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - clear failure of all relevant notabiliy guidelines. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:36, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete: not only isn't there an assertion of notability but I also smell a hoax. There's no James Curry listed in the player history section of Leigh's website (only a Derek and Kevin). What's more, if you Google for either "James Curry" "Leigh RMI" or "James Stuart Curry" "Leigh RMI", guess what the only result is... Bettia (talk) 09:13, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's more, the article states Leigh's first game of the 2007-08 season was a 2-2 draw against Hyde, but according to this, their first game was actually against Hinckley. Looks like someone wasn't paying attention ;) Bettia (talk) 09:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looks like a hoax to me. Either way, it fails all relevant notability criteria. Argyle 4 Life^talk 12:26, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
