The article was prodded (by myself) with following rationale: The subject didn't play for the first team of Calcio Catania, and he didn't play for a fully professional club before that. Francesco Nicastro fails notability criteria for footballers. The article's creator removed the prod template with explanation on Talk:Francesco Nicastro. However, my concerns are still valid, I can't find any evidence confirming notability needed for footballers. Vejvančický (talk) 10:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "didn't"? - the guy is still a teenager. It says he has competed in the Coppa Italia, last week, if not yet in a Serie A match. Johnbod (talk) 10:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment John, read the article and the link supporting the fact correctly. He was listed among substitutes, but it doesn't look that he really appeared in the game. Could you add any evidence confirming his appearance in Coppa Italia or Serie A? I know that he's a teenager, and I know what this article says.--Vejvančický (talk) 11:06, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, finally I found the evidence. He substituted for Gianvito Plasmati in 57'. [1], [2]. Sorry for wasting your time.--Vejvančický (talk) 11:30, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
