Appears to be an autobiography, with no references provided and no information establishing the notability of the subject. Prod contested by author. BradV 20:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete—according to Police FC (Uganda), Vee Baku played for them, although he isn't listed at Uganda national football team. I can't find anything on Google, except this. I'd mark this as non-notable. JonCatalán^(Talk) 21:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why would he be listed at Uganda national football team? Aside from the fact that that article does not contain an exhaustive list of every player ever to play for the national team, Baku's article doesn't claim that he played for the national team anyway........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Having said that, the only possible claim to notability presented in the article would be the appearances in the Ugandan Super League, and there's no way that league is fully professional (my brother was on holiday in Uganda a few years back, and when he enquired if he could buy a replica shirt of one of the top teams he was told the clubs were so hard up that if he went to one of their training grounds they'd sell him one of the team's actual match shirts if he flashed some hard currency) so delete -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:07, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Notability not established. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, provisionally. Notability is marginal enough to err on the side of keeping. Powers ^T 23:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no evidence that he meets WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 11:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Powers to error on keeping? I would tend to agree it would be an error to keep this, so lets delete it! Govvy (talk) 12:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, it's an idiom that means either choice may be a mistake, so let's choose the one that is most charitable. Powers ^T 13:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have to admit that's an amusing take on the saying. :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:04, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, played at the highest level of Ugandan football. Can I just mention how much I despise you for deleting people because they play in a poor country? Guess that would be against the rules. Juzhong (talk) 11:09, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Was that a personal attack directed against me.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "You" means "Wikipedia". Juzhong (talk) 11:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thats a bit harsh, you should know we like to see evidence of said information, there is a cross reference system we use called citation. Please use it if you have websites to help support the information of said biographies otherwise we will delete all those with no support information.

• Delete. No evidence provided that he played professionally or in a full international match. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 08:02, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
