This article technically passes WP:NSPORT, since he played a single UEFA Cup match between two WP:FPL clubs nine years ago. However, considering that that match is the only claim to notability per WP:NSPORT and that the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG, I think it falls within the scope of the clause in the lede of WP:NSPORT that meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.

Delete - one appearances a few years ago (to technically meet WP:NFOOTBALL) is not enough when he fails WP:GNG. Some WP:COMMONSENSE is needed here, and plenty of AFD precedent exists to say that barely passing NFOOTBALL is not enough when you fail GNG, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oscar Otazu, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aleksandr Salimov, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Semenchuk, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Artyom Dubovsky, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmos Munegabe, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marios Antoniades, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Sinclair (footballer born 1991), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matheus Eccard, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metodija Stepanovski, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linas Klimavičius, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Takumi Ogawa, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicky Fish (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Nițu, amongst others. 17:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep - per new information below. Giant Snowman 10:43, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - as far as I can see from the page, and it's references, he had 26 appearances for S.V. Zulte Waregem from 2005 to 2009 which played in the top Belgian division during all that time. @Sir Sputnik: why are you discounting this? I feel I must be missing something.

@Nfitz: You're not missing anything. That was entirely my mistake. I'm pretty sure I was looking at the Guardian profile for a different player when evaluating this article. Thanks for pointing that out. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:16, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As nominator. Nomination was based on a factual error. As such, I am withdrawing it. @GiantSnowman: You may want to re-evaluate your !vote. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:16, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:FOOTBALL. Nfitz (talk) 11:00, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
