Contested PROD. Original concern was: "This article is completely unsourced, the subject probably fails both WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG, and the article was written by an editor with a name remarkably similar to the name of the subject, creating a likely WP:COI issue." The only significant contributor to the article removed the PROD and added some references, but only one of these even mentions the subject of the article and still does not indicate any level of notability. – Pee Jay 00:27, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the FFU website has no record of this person playing for Tavriya Simferopol's senior squad. As the nominator noted, the other references in the article either don't mention this player or give any indication of notability. The entire article is a likely hoax but at best is about a non-notable footballer. Jogurney (talk) 03:01, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. As Jogurney says, this is either a hoax or a non-notable player - either way we don't want it here. Giant Snowman 09:55, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Looking at the edit history, it appears that Thiago Andrade wrote it himself. And credit to him, it's better presented, detailed, and referenced than many, if not most, articles for football players. I'd suggest moving it to his namespace if he desires. Though note: university teams are not a "senior career". Nfitz (talk) 13:58, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Player has not played in fully professional league, nor played senior international football, so fails NFOOTY. No indication of any other achievements garnering significant reliable coverage to achieve GNG. Fenix down (talk) 09:09, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
