Article deleted after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ifeanyi David Nduka. Now recreated because he has played a game, but still has no independent sources about him, which is the requirement (having played a game is no longer considered sufficient and has been removed from WP:NSPORTS quite a while ago).

WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 09:38, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TimothyBlue: That seems over analytical! Btw, did you look at the Russian wiki page for him? Not much there either. Govvy (talk) 10:28, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is a case of WP:TOOSOON as the article fails WP:GNG. The best source I could find is the Sport-Express piece already cited in the article which contains an interview with Krasnodar's club president. He gives a one-paragraph answer to the question of whether Nduka is ready to play for the club, which I don't think can be viewed as SIGCOV, and I'm not sure we can count a quote from Nduka's employer as independent, secondary coverage. Jogurney (talk) 15:08, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Zero SIGCOV in secondary independent RS. Quotes are always primary, and when they come from someone affiliated with the subject they are not independent, so the Sports-Express piece definitely does not count towards GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 02:02, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per Govvy. Young player with ongoing career in fully pro Russian Premier League, which receives lots of media coverage. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 09:18, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - currently not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:52, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per source analysis by Timothy. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:29, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
