Article about footballer who made a single 45-minute appearance in a Belarusian Premier League match, and otherwise has only played in amateur or semi-pro football leagues. There is no significant coverage of this footballer in online English-, Belarusian- or Russian-language sources (just database entries, match reports and transfer announcements). There is long-standing consensus that a nominal amount of play in a fully-pro league doesn't justify the presumption of notability in WP:NFOOTBALL when there is a comprehensive WP:GNG failure - as there is here.

Agreed; delete. If what you're saying about the policy is correct, then I see no reason to keep this page up. ωικιωαrrιorᑫᑫ1ᑫ 16:57, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have a question though: does a similar policy exist on Russian Wikipedia? For there exists a Russian language version of this article, that is not currently nominated for deletion. ωικιωαrrιorᑫᑫ1ᑫ 16:58, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know if the Russian-language Wikipedia has a different policy, but if they follow our presumption that playing in a fully-pro football league makes one notable, it's not surprising there is an article there. The issue is this person's footballing career has ended at age 24, and the presumption of notability ought to be backed up with significant coverage in reliable sources.

Delete per nom; it is well established that scraping by on NFOOTBALL is insufficient when GNG is comprehensively failed. Giant Snowman 20:25, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
