Yet another non-notable person, a former president of a notable football club. IMHO that doesn't really provide notability by extension. There isn't a single non-primary source in the article, so it's doubtful under WP:BLP rules, too. Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:32, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - His appointment was noted. There is other coverage of his actions. Its not in English, so going through google news results is tough relying on machine translation. I suspect there is more sources out there. -- Whpq (talk) 14:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - currently fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; however, if you can find some sources (I don't speak Croation unfortunately...) and add them, then I'm more than happy to change my mind. GiantSnowman 18:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - What do you feel is wrong with the two sources I provided above? -- Whpq (talk) 18:41, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • IMHO the coverage isn't really significant. The two mentions in the press testify that he was appointed without any opposition, and that someone thought he made a silly statement after an incident (that didn't involve his position directly); the first event is formal and the other is transient. I pay some attention to the local press and I've heard this person's name mentioned in context at the time, but that's about it. I can't remember hearing about anything particularly notable that they've done. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:53, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The sources linked by Whpq are only the tip of the iceberg, as can be seen by simply clicking on the word "news" in the nomination. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry if I'm being annoying, but this kind of a comment is trivially countered by WP:SIGCOV, WP:GHITS, WP:INTHENEWS, WP:LOTSOFSOURCES... please clarify if you actually believe this article can reasonably satisfy the guidelines, or conversely if you're simply giving it the benefit of the doubt. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:02, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-primary sources are required to establish notability, and the article does not provide any. News coverage of him is transient and limited to his role with the club, so whatever is salvageable here might be merged into Hajduk FC article. GregorB (talk) 23:40, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I created the article about two years ago (mistakenly) hoping it would get expanded. The reasoning was that he might merit an article as he was in charge during Hajduk's landmark transformation into a public limited company (they were the first Croatian sports club which decided to offer its shares to supporters which seemed noteworthy at the time and even Reuters found it interesting enough to report). In the meantime, his otherwise uneventful tenure came to an end in August 2009, after which he slipped back into obscurity. His only other notable move while at the club was agreeing the 7M euros transfer of Nikola Kalinic to Blackburn in 2009 (the "largest amount ever paid for a Hajduk player"), just four days before handing in his resignation. Yes, I'm sure a Google search might yield a number of hits for Mate Peroš, but virtually all of these are related to his role at the club and none of them address the subject directly in detail.
