This is essentially the same case as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shun Sato (footballer, born 1990), only these footballers played 3 or 4 league games for the same club, not 1 game. At least 50 AFD discussions (accessible through the AFD link above) say that this is not enough because of the WP:GNG fail. And mind you, I declined to nominate the players with 6 or 7 league games for deletion.

I am also nominating:

Procedural Keep Football players should be individually assessed and not grouped. Govvy (talk) 12:29, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all none of these sports players comes even close to meeting inclusion guidelines. Group nominations are perfectly acceptable in such cases and we should stop allowing proceduralism to weigh down Wikipedia with unneeded articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:25, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep - agree with Govvy, in cases where the argument is whether GNG is met or not, there should be individual consideration, otherwise the discussion will turn into a mess. Giant Snowman 18:58, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep with no prejudice against relisting separately. In a case where we are looking to delete BLPs that technically pass NFOOTY, I think separate discussions for each individual is the only way forward Spiderone 16:46, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep These should be nominated individually, if at all. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 23:50, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
