Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kifuta Kiala

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. The nominator has opted to change their view and would have sought to withdraw if all !votes supported clear retention. As this is not the case, closing as keep would not be appropriate, although delete !votes do not consider the sources subsequently identified. Any editor wishing to relist at AfD may renominate without prejudice. (non-admin closure) Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:22, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It seems he fails NFOOTY, with no appearances higher than Portugal's third tier or Germany's fourth tier. [1] looks like it may be SIGCOV, but I cant find any other decent sources, so at the moment, I think it also fails GNG. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 11:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 11:13, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per GNG and NFOOTY failure. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 18:24, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As above fails GNG and NFOOTY. Pilean (talk) 17:01, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails the NFOOTY test. HawkAussie (talk) 02:09, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per my previous attempt to look for this at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Kifuta_Kiala: fails GNG and NFOOTY. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:38, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lean keep What about three kicker articles solely about him: [2], [3], [4]? Would they not satisfy WP:GNG? Robby.is.on (talk) 12:12, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think the first one is alright (the one I gave in the nomination), but the other two seem a little too WP:ROUTINE to me, though perhaps others may disagree. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 17:30, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the sources provided above as well as this article in Fussball, are enough to pass WP:GNG, in my view. I also found a small article in Correio da Manhã, which contains some coverage here. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The source in the nom and the source found by Spiderone mean I feel this has enough for GNG now, and have struck my nom accordingly. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 22:08, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Microwave Anarchist: Whilst nominators are of course allowed to change their mind, this AfD has seen a number of other editors already express a view for deletion and so on that basis, the nomination cannot be withdrawn as it would not be uncontroversial. You have now expressed that your view has changed and the reasons, which is fine. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bungle: yes, I didn't attempt to withdraw for that reason. If the original nom should be unstruck, that's fine. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 11:19, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
