Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that improvements had been made to the article. This does not change the fact that the claim that he has played in the USL Second Division and the Nigerian Premier league are not supported by reliable sources.

I provided the 2007 roster which he was on. I provided evidence, and I included it on the wikipedia page, and cited the source. Blueheffner ( talk) 22:39, 18 December 2012 (UTC) reply
Please give me until December 27th, 2012 to bring back a reliable source as I will have to dig up some research from some books or from the collection of news clippings that I have and bring them back to you. The 27th was the original date I was given to fulfill wikipedias criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueheffner ( talk • contribs) 23:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC) reply
Sent an email to the USL League to search their archives because bryan kanu was apart of the 2007 USL2 cincinnati kings team. I received an email back saying it will take 1-2 weeks, so please hold on and I will come back with valid evidence showing his professional status. Please wait until january 12th, 2013 to delete as with the holiday it is unlikely that they will be able to find it until at least the first week in janurary.

I've just been looking back at the article history of Cincinnati Kings. The roster in that article was regularly updated during the 2007 season, and no-one named Kanu was included in it. He didn't appear in All-time Cincinnati Kings roster, which was created in 2009 by a reputable editor of US soccer pages, until you added him a few days ago. It looks to me that either there's a hell of a conspiracy between Wikipedia, the US Soccer Leagues and the relevant media to keep his appearances in USL2 secret, or you're mistaken in your belief that he appeared in it.
Just to point out what you may be unaware of, that there's no need to keep the article live for as long as it takes for your evidence to arrive: it can be re-created at the touch of an admin's button once there's any genuine proof of his professional appearances. cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 11:58, 27 December 2012 (UTC) reply
