Gerardo bruna[edit]

Poor quality article on a non-notable footballer that has never played at fully professional level therefore failing WP:FOOTYN and WP:ATHLETE. If the player ever plays at the required level a suitably titled and accurate article can be created. E P 22:22, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Does he meet the general notability guideline? --Eastmain (talk) 22:59, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know, maybe someone would like to trawl through the approximately 80 news links about him to find anything more than "hey this guy has moved to Liverpool, cool"... ugen64 (talk) 02:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, I'm sure you know this, but the quality of an article has no bearing on AfD - all that matters is, is the subject of the article encyclopedic? ugen64 (talk) 02:22, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as he fails WP:ATHLETE having never played in a fully-professional league/competition. --Jimbo^[online] 07:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/comment I've completely reworked the article with the help of Bigbrenriley. Here are the revisions at nomination for deletion and the current version. I believe votes should be reviewed on account of this great change. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 15:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I believe the subject now passes the basic criteria of notability. Thus WP:ATHLETE does not support deletion; as this is only additional criteria. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 16:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Change to Keep - fails WP:ATHLETE but the Daily Telegraph article seems enough that he meets WP:BIO. Liverpool Echo link doesn't seem to work. Nfitz (talk) 18:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the "improvements" in the article quality does not however add any sort of factual notability to the subject. He is a footballer who never played football, and is "famous" (please note the quotes) solely for his move from Real Madrid to Liverpool (that is what these sources actually say, they do not really cover the subject in detail, but merely his move). Is this fact enough to make him notable? I don't really think so, or do we really want to consider a subject notable solely because he was transferred from a "big" team to another "big" team? --Angelo (talk) 21:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
