Has never made a professional appearance and fails WP:GNG criteria with a lack of significant coverage. I would merge this article into the existing draft. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There are [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], and [9] sources in the article already. I can easily find many more sources online if that somehow isn't enough. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:40, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - I can help bring more coverage and check the sources, too. However, I agree that we should wait for the player to make his professional debut first. At this point, I think merging the two pages is the best option available, so we can all collaborate on the same draft and add everything we need.

Keep - the fact the player has made his pro debut or not does not infer notability per se. He clearly passes WP:GNG (the subject has received plenty of non-trivial in-depth coverage at Italian national level at least), which is the only thing we should care about here. --Angelo (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and merge per other users. --Kasper2006 (talk) 01:18, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a baffling nomination. I only checked the first three sources provided by Das osmnezz before it became abundantly clear this person has received enough coverage for GNG. There's no need to wait until the player makes his pro debut either, he very clearly meets our guidelines. Paul Vaurie, I would strongly suggest you look more closely at the sources in the article and consider withdrawing your !vote to delete. --MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 10:13, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:GNG, which is the only actual criteria for determining notability. The fact that he doesn't meet an old, depreciated version of WP:NFOOTY is irrelevant, and was never relevant if a person meets GNG like they clearly do here. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:16, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources above which show notability. Giant Snowman 19:12, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC due to significant coverage in multiple WP:RS Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:55, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - I accept to keep it as the nominator. Someone please close the discussion. Paul Vaurie (talk) 15:42, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
