Derek Riordan[edit]

Appears to be a hoax; Googling "David Riordan" +Hibernian (his supposed football team) gets 2 hits, apparently unrelated. Created by a user whose other edits were all vandalism. Can someone verify this guy actually exists? Meelar (talk) 16:30, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

Comment Not a hoax. The Hibernian Football Club web site [1] lists him as the top scorer. (See left column on linked page, "2004/05 Scorers"). Notability is another question, and I have no opinion on that. --Tabor 18:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Comment 2 If you googled "David Riordan" instead of "Derek Riordan", perhaps that was the problem? --Tabor 18:42, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Ah...ahem...yes, yes it was. Move along now, nothing to see here. Nomination withdrawn, changing my vote to keep. In my defense, the rest of the anon's contributions were blatant vandalism. Meelar (talk) 21:16, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
