Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested procedurally since the article had previously been PROD'ed. The delete rationale remains valid nonetheless. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:45, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following article for the same reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:46, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both and about 120+ more, which will have to wait for another time. I originally PRODed these articles as it appears the author created 120+ stubs without checking to see if any of the individuals have done anything more than be in a squad for an international youth football tournament, which is below notability standards on Wikipedia.

Delete both - fail WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Playing in a youth-international tournament is not enough to bestow notability - long-standing consensus and common sense confirm it! Giant Snowman 09:27, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the players are in a fairly high profile international tournament, even though they are young. That makes them notable, per GNG, if they have sourcing. Sadads (talk) 14:32, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NSPORT explicitly excludes youth international caps as a source of notability, and the sourcing they have is routine coverage insufficient for WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:44, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - articles needs expansion, not deletion. A few sources from US-based Google search include: [1], [2], [3] Hmlarson (talk) 23:05, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is also routine coverage insufficient for WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:18, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete playing in an international youth tournament does not make players notable. These people are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:09, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both as non-notable. Neither player meets WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTY. Sideways713 (talk) 15:20, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
