It's been like that for quite a while, with the pending deletion thing, apparently. It apparently happens a lot to youth players of foreign teams. Players like Abeid even had theirs taken down. Shame really, wikipedia just assume upcoming unknown footballers just aren't real!
No kidding here, actually happened to Mikel Arteta's page on deadline day, because people kept putting him as an Arsenal player, even though the deal hadn't been finished. You've got to assume the same thing is happening here, Wiki are pissed off with you guys putting him as a Toon player, when he hasn't even signed for you yet.
