Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Namiq Yusifov

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. There is enough disagreement on how the criteria should be applied, and it has been relisted twice with no new input, thus I simply can't see any consensus here. Dennis - 2¢ 16:21, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:25, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP: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) 11:54, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I think. Is it not the case that players appearing in the tournament proper (as opposed to the qualifying rounds) of major European competitions are deemed notable, whether their club plays in an FPL or not? it certainly used to be when there was a string of AfDs for Irish footballers. Mr Yusifov played for Qarabag against Internazionale in the Europa League group stage last week, as Soccerway will confirm even though the article, which is pretty poor, doesn't. Unfortunately, I'm unable to read his local language, so can't contribute references to media coverage indicating likely GNG pass, but the subject has enjoyed a lengthy career in the top teams in his country. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:04, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - can you show where this consensus was shown? I was certain that it was the other way round, that the player had to have been playing in a match featuring two clubs from FPLs. Fenix down (talk) 15:42, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- A particular AfD I remember and have managed to find again is this over-bundled group. I looked at the candidates one at a time: the first one I !voted to keep (O'Halloran) had played in rounds proper of UEFA Cup but also looked to be a stonewall WP:BIO pass. The next comment was made by GiantSnowman, who !voted "Delete everyone but O'Halloran, who has played at a sufficent level in European competitions - the rest all fail WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG". I !voted to keep another two, one on grounds of European participation and likely WP:BIO pass, and the second just on Europe, and then GiantSnowman suggested the AfD be closed and any subjects that hadn't played European football be re-nominated. Which rather implies that he thought at the time, as did I, that playing in the rounds proper was enough for football notability. He may well have changed his mind since, and perceived consensus may have changed since, though without going through hundreds of AfDs I couldn't express an informed opinion. (That AfD was closed as a procedural keep all without prejudice against individual renom.) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 19:02, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hmm, I wasn't aware of his European appearances, that certainly gives more notability, but I'm not sure it's enough given the complete lack of other sourcing. Giant Snowman 19:11, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He hasn't played in a Fully professional league and he doesn't have any senior international caps either therefore he fails WP:NFOOTBALL. IJA (talk) 16:52, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - 28 Europa League and Champions League appearances in the last 6 seasons. Combined with 170+ appearances on the top team in the top league in his country, putting him at the 3rd most appearances ever in the league. And we wouldn't expect him to easily meet WP:GNG if one started searching through the foreign media? Nfitz (talk)
Keep Passes WP:GNG he was part of the Qarabağ FK which won the Azerbaijan Premier League and played in European matches .This shows he was part of 4-1 win by Qarabağ in Europe then a Azerbaijani record [1][2]. He is playing in the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League group stage and played against Inter Milan with the Captain's armband,this and BBC this is without going into the Azerbaijani language media .Do feel this would passes WP:GNG at least marginally.
