Deletion of Constantinos Laifis

Comment: moved by Struway2 to separate comment, to avoid it interfering with main part of deletion discussion) I'm not overly impressed with the process of this article's original deletion. Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Constantinos_Laifis&action=history the history, we see that on 29 July last, the ''referenced'' article was vandalised and all references removed. Within 30 minutes, it was BLPPRODded. We're supposed to |"Review the biography's history to confirm that it has not been vandalized especially if sources have been removed, and there is no more suitable referenced version to revert to", before BLPPRODding. If Mr Laifis' http://uk.soccerway.com/teams/cyprus/anorthosis-famagusta-fc/520/ Soccerway profile, a source present in the unvandalised version of the article, had been checked, it would have confirmed his appearance in the European qualifier between two teams from fully professional leagues, which took place four days before the vandalism, and therefore the article's unsuitability for uncontroversial deletion by PROD. cheers

Clear case of English-speaking
