Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the article's creator without providing a reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 17:03, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 20:28, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NFOOTBALL having never played in a fully professional league and does not have enough significant independent coverage to pass WP:GNG. Kosack (talk) 22:10, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Giant and Fenix down. Repeating what they've mentioned, the subject doesn't qualify on either the general or sports related guidelines. I've tried to be the devil's advocate in the past on such and similar articles and have !voted keep, after finding sources. Here, there isn't coverage I could find to defend the subject. Thanks.
