cheers sir sputnik that was very helpful it's a shame as i spent an hour creating that page as you may have gathered from my user page i take a keen interest in lower league football teams no offence to you but i think this system is ridiculous no matter how lesser known a footballer is creating a page for them nevertheless benefits wikipedia the state of the lower league footballer pages on here is currently appalling and if pages like mine keep being deleted wikipedia is going nowhere there seems to be no reasonable explanation for why lesser known players shouldn't be represented i'm from and live in england but i don't see any reason why loi players shouldn't have pages in fact others already do have pages which aren't being removed besides no need to worry any more i've been blocked by bwilkins for no apparent reason
