Though the article might technically meet WP:NSPORT because of two appearances in the Greek top flight almost ten years ago (which are only confirmed by transfermarkt, an unreliable source), the article clearly fails WP:GNG that even if it does meet WP:NSPORT it falls under the part of that guideline that says the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.

Delete - fails WP:GNG, which is more important than him technically passing WP:NFOOTBALL. Some WP:COMMONSENSE is needed here, and plenty of AFD precedent exists to say that barely passing NFOOTBALL is not enough when you fail GNG, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oscar Otazu, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aleksandr Salimov, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Semenchuk, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Artyom Dubovsky, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmos Munegabe, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marios Antoniades, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Sinclair (footballer born 1991), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matheus Eccard and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), amongst others.

Delete - per GS, whilst there is scope for young players to be given some grace if it seems reasonable they will keep playing, this guy is 30. Seems highliy unlikely he will achieve much more that would fulfil NFOOTY, let alone GNG. Fenix down (talk) 12:49, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, WP:GNG failure, as GS mentioned as well, there is precedent to delete despite a bare passing of WP:NFOOTBALL, in cases where GNG is not met. I believe this is the case here. C 679 11:48, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
