If feels disingenuous to say he’s never played a pro game when he’s played in the French Cup Final, the Champions League, and the Europa League. User:Hildreth gazzard (talk) 14:06, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of disingenous is "not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does". You would do well to remember to WP:Comment on content, not on the contributor, I object quite strongly to the suggestion that I am being disingenous because I am stating the WP:NFOOTY guidelines which state that players are presumed notable if they are

Players who have played in, and managers who have managed in any Tier 1 International Match, as defined by FIFA, in a competitive senior international match at confederation level regardless of whether or not the teams are members of FIFA, or the Olympic Games. The notability of these is accepted as they would have received significant coverage as outlined above in the general notability criteria.
Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues, will generally be regarded as notable. See a list of fully professional leagues kept by WikiProject Football. (my bolding)

He may pass GNG but not with the sources you have provided. --Dom from Paris (talk) 15:29, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems to easily meet WP:GNG. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] among others. Needs improving, not deletion, especially as he is likely to feature in the Europa League group stage (he has played all 8 European games for Dudelange this season.)

Keep as per the references detailed above that show that he passes WP:BASIC, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 17:09, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NFOOTY should probably be rewritten to explicitly include the group and knockout stages of the Champions and Europa League, even when those teams are not from FPLs, and in any case he passes WP:GNG. Smartyllama (talk) 18:57, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The links posted by SportingFlyer show the subject indeed passes WP:GNG. --DBig Xrayᗙ 22:28, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
