Delete - what a clusterfuck of an AFD journey. In the middle of the first discussion the nominator decided to try and change the notability parameters, and the second discussion was a wholly inapproproriate bundle which was procedurally kept. Rant over. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and no evidence (despite all the time at AFD for sources to be found) that WP:GNG can or will be met. Giant Snowman 08:39, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – per GS. Leviv ich 03:21, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails GNG. It always failed NFOOTY (as FPL is not part of NFOOTY, but merely a separate essay) - however NFOOTY is of little consequence for a very modern player (in an era with online sources in English available) for which the rule of thumb imputed by NSPORTS-NFOOTY can be simply checked vs. available sources (contrast this with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Josep Raich - a Spanish player in the 30s and 40s for which NFOOTY carries weight, as sourcing for this period in Spain can get tricky). Regardless - it is rather evident that coverage for this individual does not rise up to SIGCOV. Icewhiz (talk) 13:10, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Low level, modern-era, minor league soccer player, who played professionally in a country where the sport is not popular. Fails WP:NFOOTY, WP:GNG, and WP:BASIC. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:47, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
