Comment. Delete. The player in question has made appearances for C.D. Cuenca who play in the first tier of Ecuadorian football, however as this league is not featured in the list of fully professional leagues, does that mean that he fails WP:NFOOTBALL? If it does, I am for deleting since he fails WP:GNG as well. --Reckless182 (talk) 22:59, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, the Ecuadorian Serie A is not fully-professional, which means playing in it does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Secondly, not that it matters given point one, but the statistics which claim to show appearances for Club Deportivo Cuenca are unreferenced and unverified.

You're right, changed my view to delete. --Reckless182 (talk) 19:10, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league, and has not received significant coverage. As such, he fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:04, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Played for CD Cuenca in the group stage of the 2010 Copa Libertadores, see here and here. I think it's safe to say that any team playing in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores is professional. I suggest the previous two users re-evaluate their votes given the new information. Here's his SoccerWay profile for reference. TonyStarks (talk) 04:50, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, but those two links are for 2010 Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol Serie A matches, not the 2010 Copa Libertadores. The 2010 Copa Libertadores page shows Cuenca as playing three group games (against Nacional of Uruguay, Banfield of Argentina and Club Atlético Morelia of Mexico) before being eliminated, but I can't find links to any of these matches using Socceray. My understanding of Ecuadorian football, and South American football overall, isn't the best so please tell me if I'm missing something.

  - Delete - Sorry not sure what I was on, I guess I shouldn't be on Wikipedia at 5 in the morning :D .. you're right, he did not play in the Copa Libertadores like I had previously stated, it was the Ecuadorian league. Therefore, he's not notable. I change my vote to Delete (someone feel free to strike out my Keep and change it to delete .. can't figure out how to do it myself).
