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.

Comment – I performed some minor edits to the article to address close paraphrasing. See the Earwig's Copyvio Detector result here for the present state of the article relative to the source presently used in it. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:18, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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]
