The result was delete. No real indication that this player will pass GNG from the discussion other than unsupported claims. I'm happy to restore to someone's user space though if they feel they can and request it. Fenix down (talk) 07:42, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment a cursory glance at his Spanish-language wiki shows he may meet WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 00:16, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy He definitely has the potential to satisfy WP:GNG based off his Spanish article and quick Google News search. Perhaps it would be for the best if we give Hondureñodecorazon a chance to improve the article in his userspace. I also placed the notice of this discussion on his talk page.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 09:32, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy - The player is notable as it has played in a professional league that being the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional de Honduras which doesn't fail WP:NFOOTBALL. But the page does need some work on it to be put up to standards. HawkAussie (talk) 23:19, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It's actually not a professional league. Simione001 (talk) 00:32, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Appartenly it has been since 1965 so what you are saying it's false [1] HawkAussie (talk) 03:45, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The league is not listed at WP:FPL and is not considered "fully-professional" for the purposes of conferring notability via WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 13:21, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The league is also not listed as not fully professional either. There's an absence of information, rather than a confirmation that they are not fully-professional. Given how highly Honduran teams currently rank in the CONCACAF Club Index (just behind Panama and Costa Rica), how much attendance they draw, the international TV coverage of league matches, and how much national media coverage the league attracts, I've always been perplexed that there's a lack of a good source (one way or another) on their status. It's most certainly a professional league - is it fully professional? Nfitz (talk) 13:46, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
