Wholly inadequate sources
At a recent WP:AfD discussion concerning the article, I felt the need to leave the following comments on the unreliable nature of sources included in this article, as follows: "...However, I do have serious concerns about the sourcing as I am seeing a number of likely sock puppet accounts adding in references in various articles, all linked to one particular self-publishing writer. In this article no-one seems to have spotted that for two years we've had an ostensibly serious journal being referenced twice, when Water Volleyball Journal is nothing but a home-made wordpress blog with no significant content. The same goes for the so-called World Association of Water Volleyball Clubs, another cheap wordpress blog created by the same person/sock. All this rubbish needs to go, but not the article itself." I hope editors with an interest in this subject will look very carefully at the rest of its content and especially the mention of all 'official' organisations said to be connected with it. Some good references would be welcome, too. Regards from the UK Nick Moyes (talk) 01:32, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Nick Moyes -- You got it. All bun, no meat. After all the ink spilled on the AfD, not a single change. And I found more mischief -- vandalism that easily passes ClueBot and most humans too. All the best. Rhadow (talk) 01:33, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
