His only claim to notability seems to be playing in a non-FIFA friendly against Moldova. I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC when searching in Armenian (Սարգիս Կարապետյան) or otherwise. All that seems to be available is stats. Similar case to Vahtang Hakobyan (AfD).

Comment - as you can see from his NFT stats, his Soviet era club appearances took place in the third and fourth tiers so are unlikely to have amounted to significant coverage of Karapetyan as an individual during those times. I'm impressed that NFT have even managed to get the appearance data. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:43, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article fails WP:GNG; as the nominator notes above, this footballer played at a low level in Soviet football so it's little surprise I found nothing of significance in my Russian-language searches (the Armenian language searches didn't turn up any SIGCOV either).

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 22:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
