The result was delete. Bastin, you claim to have found 3 sources which satisfy WP:GNG. If you would have presented them in this discussion so they could have been evaluated the result might have been different. Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:12, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG, and who has not played in a fully pro league. There is no sourcing to indicate that he has played for Cape Verde. In addition, his one sourced call-up was against Italy's U-21 team, meaning it was not a full international match and therefore insufficient to grant notability, whether he played or not.

Keep. Several references if you actually look for them; I just found three more in five minutes. Thus, he meets GNG. On the issue of internationals, a call-up for an official international is now sourced. I'm sure you'd find that he's played a game for Cape Verde in the past four years if you looked for it. However, since he meets GNG, it is presumed that he is notable, so it is up to you to prove that he hasn't. Bastin 23:43, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Delete Fails WP:NFOOTY with no verification that he has actually played for Cape Verde. The sources are pretty much only trivial mentions of the player, so this fails WP:GNG, too. J Mo 101 (talk) 09:43, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - does not yet meet WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTY criteria. Can be added if/when he plays for Cape Verde in a senior international. Deserter1 10:11, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 10:13, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
