PROD rationale was I did a WP:BEFORE search and could not find any in-depth coverage. Article itself makes no claim to meeting any inclusion guideline.

Declined because World cup qualification referee, objecting to deletion per Wikipedia:Proposed deletion

There is no SNG for referees but it has never been established that officiating in a WC qualifier makes you notable by default. Referees are currently assessed on whether they meet WP:GNG and there is no evidence that this referee meets GNG as he does not seem to have coverage outside referee database listings and name checks in match reports so no WP:SIGCOV.

Note that an SNG was suggested here but was strongly opposed. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:55, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have found 2 passing mentions, but those are far from passing WP:SIGCOV.Less Unless (talk) 17:07, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is opinion in the discussion mentioned that a good referee is not noticed. That is why the suggestion of special notability guidlines makes sense. I think that referee's credentials probably point to his notability. Keep Кирилл С1 (talk) 14:11, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you provide sources that show this notability? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:20, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Passing mention in [1], [2], [3]. There is also a mention in google books. Кирилл С1 (talk) 15:35, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:GNG, we require significant coverage which is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. As these are just passing mentions, they do not contribute towards GNG Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:05, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
