Though the article technically passes WP:NSPORT, Rica has only three qualifying appearances six years ago, and the article fails WP:GNG comprehensively enough to fall under the section the lede of WP:NSPORT which says: [T]he meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.

Delete - three appearances five years years ago (to technically meet NFOOTY) before moving to a series of clubs in minor leagues is not enough when he comprehensively fails GNG. Some COMMONSENSE is needed here, and plenty of AFD precedent exists to say that barely passing NFOOTBALL is not enough when you fail GNG, see Oscar Otazu, Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Aleksandr Salimov, Andrei Semenchuk, Artyom Dubovsky, Cosmos Munegabe, Marios Antoniades, Scott Sinclair, Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer, Matheus Eccard, Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Metodija Stepanovski, Linas Klimavičius, Takumi Ogawa, Nicky Fish and Andrei Nițu, amongst others.

Delete - As noted by Fenix down, there is plenty of precedent to delete articles which technically meet NFOOTY but fall far short of GNG after time. — Jkudlick ^tc_s 11:23, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG comprehensively, and barely scrapes through NFOOTBALL. The former outweighs the latter. Giant Snowman 09:53, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no indication article could satisfy the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 05:42, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
