I have nominated the page for deletion because the subject is not notable as a soccer player per Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability, many claims within the article were un-sourced and unrealistic. There are no sources that I can find that justify the existence of this article. Loftybunch1 (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I believe this person fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Not finding any coverage or documentation outside of uncredible sources to support article claims.Demitrius39 (talk) 02:49, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL by playing in a number of fully-professional leagues - Lega Pro in Italy and Liga I in Romania. @Loftybunch1 and Demitrius39: you might want to reconsider your !votes. Giant Snowman 19:09, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Giant Snowman have you done investigation into the sources behind the article? I voted delete because there are no sources to report actual match appearances/career stats. One article from Sky Sports Italia appears credible, suggesting he did complete foreign transfer to armenia, but there's no record of him playing in Lega pro, or in australia as claimed later in the article. Even the article discussing his time in armenia only mentions he played in to matches, and doesn't describe the opponents, his performance, or whether or not the matches were competitive or preseason/friendly. I do stand by my vote.Demitrius39 (talk) 01:51, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Tutto Calciattore should not be considered credible.Demitrius39 (talk) 01:58, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes NFOOTY, has played senior international football, in a fully professional league or in a match in the competition proper (i.e. not qualifying rounds) of a cup competition which involved two teams both from FPLs. No indication why the sources provided should not be considered credible. Fenix down (talk) 10:02, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment looking at [1], it appears that his appearances have been greatly exaggerated. Though it does appear he barely meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Perhaps User:Lonmilpsa could opine. Nfitz (talk) 20:11, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
