In short, the Peter Pakeman topic can be covered sufficiently in Cornell Big Red. The highlight of Pakeman's career seems to be the induction into the Cornell Athletics Hall of Fame,[1] and Cornell VIP Award - Peter Pakeman. While he played in the Canadian Soccer League with the North York Rockets in 1987, it does not contribute much to his biography in that there doesn't seem to be much else to write about that with regards to his life events. The article itself visually is hard on the eyes due to so many words using upper case first letters, which seems to try to show subject importance through formal event name dropping rather than Pakeman's life. Resume-like information is not a basis for a biography. The topic has not received enough coverage about Pakeman's life for the topic to be handled as a separate, stand-alone biography page. Fails WP:GNG. Nice photos, but they do not appear to be free license photos. The article was listed at COIN. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:56, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - fails both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. The article looks impressive, but when you drill down there's actually very little there. GiantSnowman 10:48, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Article was blanked, but I undid that edit. He doesn't appear to meet any notability criteria.204.126.132.231 (talk) 18:46, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment please do not blank an article while under discusison. Also the edit history of the article show no proof that you are the author, only that you are a contributor. Indeed, the original author is named Xave2000 (talk · contribs), not InPerpetuity (talk · contribs) -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 22:47, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I do not think this subject meets the notability rules as linked above by GiantSnowman. The article also has the COI problem which I brought up at the COIN board. Demon Cat >:3 (meow!) 01:38, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG failure, college notability only and the sources provided do not indicate any significant level of coverage outside of Cornell publications. Fenix down (talk) 08:42, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Xave2000 (talk · contribs) has blanked the article. This activity seems suspicious, are InPerpetuity (talk · contribs) and Xave2000 (talk · contribs) the same person? -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 08:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
