Contested PROD (and sorry about the 2nd prod, didn't notice the first one) as there is a claim of playing for a professional Greek team. No evidence of this is given - the two original refs seem very vague and ambiguous, and the latest one (the gippsland one) actually lists him as an amateur! So fails WP:ATHLETE and nowhere near the WP:GNG as far as I can see. The-Pope (talk) 13:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If he played a senior match for Kavala F.C., he'll meet WP:ATH. But there is no source to support that, and I can't find a reliable source to support it. The "1 match" listed in the infobox could be inaccurate, or it could be a non-senior match. At this stage, we can't verify that he passes WP:ATH, so the article should be deleted. I'm quite comfortable with that because even if the "1 match" was verified, this guy's case for passing WP:ATH is as marginal as it could possibly be. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:14, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Can't find any verification either. I would keep it for say a week as I've notified the the person who created the article to ask them to find proof. One verified appearance in a competative match for an 18 year old would be enough for him to be considered notable. Cls14 (talk) 11:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to be fair, it's been tagged with notability and references needed tags since mid March and the originator has been notified with each PROD and AFD notice. Whilst he hasn't contributed at all since March 3, he's had more than enough chances. And I moved your notification from his User page to his User_talk page.The-Pope (talk) 11:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - can't find any evidence this guy has played in a fully-pro league, therefore failing WP:ATHLETE; also fails WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 22:52, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per the above comments. I also cannot find any evidence that he has played a pro match for Kavala, and he therefore fails WP:ATHLETE. There is also insufficient coverage to merit keeping this article under WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:00, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
