User:Lazargang1 has expressed a wish for all or part of the article to be deleted on its talk page. Officiating in the Europa League does not make him notable by default. The only guideline that referees pass or fail is WP:GNG or WP:BIO.

There are pages and pages worth of passing mentions but I can't actually find any coverage going into any depth about him. There are plenty of routine announcements, basically saying 'Jović set to referee x vs y', for example Nacional and VL. Aside from that, we have a couple of articles criticising a refereeing decision, one of which being Jutarnji. I can't see any indication that this person is notable enough for an article in a general encyclopaedia. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:41, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete This is WP:G3 eligible, we don't need an AfD for this. SportingFlyer T·C 22:48, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've decided to remove the vandalism. I suspect it wouldn't be eligible since the first two sentences aren't vandalism. I considered WP:A7 but officiating in the Europa League would likely mean that that would be declined. PROD would just be removed by the creator so AfD was the only option left.

@Spiderone: Speedy deletions, specifically G3s, are not PRODs, and the article creator is not allowed to remove that template. Anyways, it may no longer be eligible, should still be deleted. SportingFlyer T·C 11:46, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete The creator has a pretty long history of vandalism not unique to this page. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 02:14, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
