December 2020
[edit]- Sarawak representatives at Miss Malaysia: nominated at AfD; notified Lara Hatsumi (talk · contribs) 21:52, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm happy to be proved wrong but this looks like a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation to me. I can't see how it would pass WP:LISTN or fulfil any purpose at WP:LISTPURP.
- Daniel Karamoy: nominated at AfD; notified Mufad (talk · contribs) 22:30, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced without any real claim to notability for seven years. Football agents very rarely pass WP:GNG and Karamoy doesn't appear to be an exception. Please note that there are a few namesakes coming up in searches, in particular someone suspected of being involved in embezzlement and also another person who is the brother of Angel Karamoy.The best sources that I could find relating to this Daniel Karamoy were [1], [2] and [3], which are insufficient in my view.
- Gabrielle Dal Busco: nominated at AfD; notified 18dalbuscod (talk · contribs) 22:43, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Aqib Nawab: nominated at AfD; notified Champion's BOSS (talk · contribs) 23:27, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; hasn't played a game according to World Football, Indian Super League and Soccerway.
- BY Revanth: nominated at AfD; notified Champion's BOSS (talk · contribs) 23:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Has already had a PROD. Was moved to draft space as an alternative to deletion but article creator moved it immediately back. Still no evidence of WP:GNG and was unable to find anything. World Football, Indian Super League and Soccerway are the only databases that list him and none show an appearance so he fails WP:NFOOTBALL.
- Balaji Ganesan: nominated at AfD; notified Champion's BOSS (talk · contribs) 23:47, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL as far as I can see. No appearances at World Football, ISL and Soccerway and not listed anywhere else. Coverage not enough for GNG.
- 2016–17 FC Barcelona B season: nominated at AfD; notified Eliasbalne2 (talk · contribs) 18:43, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Please note that this was previously deleted but that discussion took place before the season started so was deleted on WP:TOOSOON grounds. A few years later and I still can't see any evidence of notability here. Third tier seasons in Spain are not inherently notable and this doesn't look to pass WP:GNG unless I'm missing something.
- Taha Mourid: nominated at AfD; notified Waccasa (talk · contribs) 19:29, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Assertion of notability from 2 alleged appearances for Wydad but this is not supported by the article's sole reference. Also does not pass WP:GNG as the only mentions are fairly brief ones in match reports and mentions of being called up to the Morocco under 20 squad.Soccerway has nothing down for him. Nor does Football Database. Sofascore records four times when he has been an unused substitute. World Football has u17 games only. GSA confirms that he has only played u17 for Morocco and has not yet got off the bench for his club.
- Sneź Veljanovska: nominated at AfD; notified Camw (talk · contribs) 21:12, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD was added by User:Geschichte but was contested. An unsourced BLP on a player that does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. The best sources I could find were this promo interview, this news story on an injury and this transfer announcement.
- 2017–18 CA Oradea season: nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 21:28, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NSEASONS only provides presumptions of notability for season articles on teams playing in top professional leagues. Liga V is a regional amateur set of leagues organised by the individual county associations, it is the exact opposite of a top professional league. While CA Oradea's reformation did get some news coverage, this is already summarised much better in the main Club Atletic Oradea article so this is essentially an unnecessary WP:CONTENTFORK. The fact that Facebook needed to be used to obtain most of the match reports shows that this level of amateur football does not receive enough significant, reliable and independent coverage to warrant this type of content fork.
- Pjero Andrijašević: nominated at AfD; notified Bezaaaa 1909 (talk · contribs) 21:43, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: A futsal player with a very brief career in football. Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and appears to fall short on WP:GNG.
- Edin Lynch: nominated at AfD; notified Microwave Anarchist (talk · contribs) 22:04, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Following a discussion started in WT:FPL, the Scottish Championship was correctly deemed to no longer meet the requirements of being a fully professional league, as some clubs, including Alloa, were semi-pro.This now means that Lynch's two appearances no longer give any presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL and he needs to pass WP:GNG. I did a WP:BEFORE search but could only find passing mentions in match reports and the like.He was on the books of Kilmarnock last season but, as per Soccerway and GSA, he didn't make it off the bench in the league and his only cup appearances was for the youth team.
- Andrea Giménez: nominated at AfD; notified Master Virgo (talk · contribs) 18:09, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: A footballer with a very short career and very little coverage. Some players gain a level of fame or infamy for having very short careers but I can't find any evidence that Giménez is in that club. I can confirm the 8 Espanyol appearances (which do not qualify her for WP:NFOOTBALL) but, after the transfer to Barcelona, which gets some minor coverage here and here, I could not find anything else. It doesn't look like she made any headlines at all at Barcelona in her 2 years there. She has presumably retired and this source confirms that she was an unused substitute twice but made no senior appearances. She possibly played in the B team but I have no coverage of this and being a B team player is hardly grounds for notability. If anyone finds multiple sources showing WP:GNG-level coverage, please let me know.
- Thomas Kyle (referee): nominated at AfD; notified Almgerdeu (talk · contribs) 19:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I did a search of British newspapers and Google Books and couldn't find any significant coverage. He gets name checked in match reports but nothing to indicate that he was a notable or influential figure in football at that time. Fails WP:GNG from what I can see but happy to be proved wrong.
- Ali Gul Mallah: nominated at AfD; notified AliHyderJunejo (talk · contribs) 19:34, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
January 2021
[edit]- Adhyaksha HoigeBazar Koragappa: nominated at AfD; notified Deepak birva (talk · contribs) 11:20, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: My searches for this person, even if you exclude the middle name, are coming up with little more than Wikipedia mirrors from the previously deleted article. My concern is that this person never existed or that, if he did exist, he wasn't as well known or as notable as this unsourced article claims.
- Demir Avdic: nominated at AfD; notified Champion's BOSS (talk · contribs) 14:21, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Page was deleted via PROD two weeks ago. I can't find anything to suggest that he passes WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. This is the only source that covers him. Flashscore, World Football and Soccerway don't have any appearances recorded outside the Austrian third tier.
- Vladimir Molerovic: nominated at AfD; notified Champion's BOSS (talk · contribs) 14:29, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been deleted numerous times in the last month. I can't find anything outside the unreliable sources used in the article (Instagram and Transfermarkt). Flashscore says he played once in the second tier of Bosnia, so looks to fail WP:NFOOTBALL. Can't see him passing WP:GNG. Has been sent to draft already but the page creator just recreates the article, defeating the purpose of it.
- Shwe Eain Min: nominated at AfD; notified Kyaw Htet611 (talk · contribs) 11:16, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Kyaw Htet: nominated at AfD; notified Kyaw Htet611 (talk · contribs) 11:24, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An apparent autobiography sourced only to Facebook and YouTube. Doesn't look to pass WP:NACTOR or WP:BASIC but will happily withdraw if concrete evidence comes to light. The problem seems to be that Facebook is actually the main source that seems to cover these TV series that this guy has supposedly starred in. I have also asked the creator to declare their obvious COI with the articles that they are editing.
- Ksenia Veselukha: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 12:02, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Player with a promising enough youth career but not enough to show a passing of WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. Caps were all at youth and junior level or beach football. I found this Q&A and this Q&A both from her days as a youth player. Nothing to show senior career was significant.
- Niyah Joseph: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 12:46, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As per WP:FPL, his Scottish Championship appearances this season no longer give him presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL. News sources found in a WP:BEFORE search do not show enough for WP:GNG; the only source I could find was this.
- List of tallest buildings in Rajasthan: nominated at AfD; notified Kushagra140 (talk · contribs) 14:17, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A list of non-notable buildings that is sourced entirely to the previously deleted Wikipedia page List of tallest buildings in Jodhpur. This fails WP:LISTN because there are no reliable sources covering these buildings as a group. The list makes little sense as none of the buildings are skyscrapers or notable in any other way. This list has no navigational purpose nor does it meet any other purpose listed at WP:LISTPURP.Consensus at well over 20 recent AfDs that these types of lists should be deleted if the above criteria are failed.
- Ciudad Deportiva Rafael Gómez: nominated at AfD; notified Spetsnaz1991 (talk · contribs) 14:43, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Training ground for a third tier Spanish team. Appears to fail WP:GNG. Could be redirected to Córdoba CF but the involved user has just reverted a redirect for a very similar article, which is also now at AfD, and would likely do the same here.
- Alexey Vorobei: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 22:33, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An article about a former footballer that never played in any of the top three tiers of Ukrainian football. While FC Chernihiv are now in the third tier, before this season, they had only played in the fourth tier and below. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG unfortunately.
- Yevhen Novobranets: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 22:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: None of Novobranets' appearances have been within the top three tiers of Ukraine, which are the only professional leagues in Ukraine. This is confirmed by Tribuna, UA Football and Soccerway. He therefore does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL at this moment in time. The profiles in statistical database websites and social media pages are the only sources available on him so he does not pass WP:GNG.
- Donut Pupusa: nominated at AfD; notified MimiIonela1997 (talk · contribs) 15:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable dessert. Nothing coming up in WP:RS about this. Searches only coming up with primary sources or social media posts. See also related discussion at John Flores.
- Maximilian Steinbauer: nominated at AfD; notified Itspspss (talk · contribs) 20:16, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL since GSA, Playmakerstats, WF and Soccerway are all in agreement that he has only played in the 4th tier of Germany. Some coverage can be found but insufficient for WP:GNG, in my opinion.
- Samuel Irie: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 13:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, in spite of what the article says, Kaduna United were not playing in the top tier of Nigeria. They were relegated in 2014 and haven't returned. See league history at WF. His other appearances have been in the semi-pro Kyrgyz league, Maldives 2nd tier, Thai 4th tier and he's just joined a Spanish 4th tier side. I could not find anything close to WP:GNG coverage either.
- Charlie Cowie: nominated at AfD; notified Rossbatchelor (talk · contribs) 22:26, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Players appearing in the Scottish Championship this season no longer get the presumption of notability through WP:NFOOTBALL as per WP:FPL.In terms of WP:GNG, there are four paragraphs in this news source on his debut. He then gets name checks in Daily Record, Fife Today and BBC. In my view, not enough for GNG at this moment.
- Stephanie Haim: nominated at AfD; notified Darthfyer86 (talk · contribs) 22:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I have improved the article from being an unsourced stub to now a stub with two sources. I still don't think that there is enough there to show a passing of WP:GNG especially considering the fact that Haim does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. We have a profile page on the website of the football governing body. The same source then reports on her winning an award while playing in the local leagues. A Proquest search results in an article reporting on the same thing. This is not the level of notability required to pass GNG, in my opinion.
- 2013–14 FC Bihor Oradea season: nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 11:35, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Initial PROD reasoning No evidence of notability as not within the scope of WP:NSEASONS; does not pass WP:GNG as there is nothing about the season that indicates that it needs its own article.Contested with Liga II season, I don't agree at all, is just an abuse.This article is an unnecessary WP:CONTENTFORK. This season is already summarised and sourced adequately in FC Bihor Oradea so this article isn't needed. The only thing this article adds is a list of match reports, linked to Soccerway and a squad list but Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate statistics database nor should it be.
- Simon Davies (linguist): nominated at AfD; notified Caro de Segeda (talk · contribs) 12:41, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Please note that Simon Davies himself has requested that the article be deleted; see here. I, unfortunately, can't see this passing WP:BASIC as he does not yet have sufficient coverage in sources independent of him, which the article creator has admitted themselves. Elefen is an organisation that he is connected with so does not support independent notability and the other references are brief or unreliable. I found nothing in my WP:BEFORE search.
- Bethat Educational TV channel: nominated at AfD; notified Sharief123 (talk · contribs) 13:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD from User:Fram stated Lacks all notabilityPROD was then removed by article creator without addressing the notability issue. A WP:BEFORE search did not show any significant coverage for this supposedly international TV channel. I'm happy to be proved wrong but this doesn't look to pass WP:GNG. It could perhaps be merged somewhere if reliable sources are found.
- Teejay Karthi: nominated at AfD; notified Karthison R (talk · contribs) 16:02, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was Lacks coverage required for WP:BASIC and his role in the film industry does not make him inherently notable. Borderline WP:A7.. Removed without explanation.Supposedly a notable director but I can't find any reliable evidence. None of the five references used mention him even once. Even his IMDb page is completely empty!
- Avant-garde Pictures: nominated at AfD; notified Cinegiak (talk · contribs) 19:15, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A film production company that has never produced a notable film. They seem to put out short (2 minute) films and YouTube videos. There is nothing available to show a passing of WP:NCORP or WP:GNG or any other relevant notability criteria. None of the award coverage seems to be from reliable sources.Article created by an SPA.
- Mohsen Dayani: nominated at AfD; notified Mirtalebi.official (talk · contribs) 19:47, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything about this player. From the sources, he has played at a youth level of some sort but being called up to a training camp or playing at youth level does not meet the requirements of WP:NFOOTBALL. Yalovaspor is an amateur club playing in an amateur league so wouldn't make him notable. Fails WP:GNG and the article is written like a CV.
- Sandhyaragam (1979 film): nominated at AfD; notified Niajm (talk · contribs) 22:53, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was previously up for deletion via PROD for failing WP:NFILM but was removed with reason Notable article --- Released malayalam movieA film being released does not make it inherently notable. There is nothing within the article to suggest a passing of WP:NFILM or WP:GNG at any level. A WP:BEFORE search came up with a lot but, as far as I could see, it was all about other films with similar names. I couldn't find any reviews or significant coverage for this exact film but I'm happy to be proved wrong.
- Jake Goodship: nominated at AfD; notified Playlet (talk · contribs) 23:28, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not yet seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL; all results found during a WP:BEFORE search were brief quotes from him about his team in match reports and the like. There is no information available online from which we can build a biography from because Goodship himself does not seem to be explored in-depth.
- Adrian Stenta: nominated at AfD; notified Playlet (talk · contribs) 23:42, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and coverage not yet sufficient for WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. A search provided me with coverage of his appointment for Adelaide and then some brief quotes from him talking about his players in match reports and the like. There is this interview on the W-League website but that's about as close to significant coverage as we seem to get.
- Jakkajan Wanwisa: nominated at AfD 08:39, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced BLP that has been moved to draft space twice and moved back twice without following procedure. This has been deleted from Thai Wikipedia on multiple occasions as well. A search comes up with a thinly-veiled advert for cosmetic surgery, this piece which looks like it might be sponsored in some way and I have no idea what this is meant to be about.
- 2018–19 CS Pandurii Târgu Jiu season: nominated at AfD; notified Mihai.zamfir30 (talk · contribs) 09:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD reasoning was Redundant WP:CONTENTFORK; no evidence of being able to pass WP:GNGRemoved with reason part of a series. Must be discussed at AfDIn my view, there would need to be some strong justification for this particular season to warrant a stand-alone article and I'm just not seeing that here.
- John Borg: nominated at AfD; notified ArtVandelay13 (talk · contribs) 18:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD by another user was Footballer with only 1 pro game is not Wikipedia-eligible per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Wayne_Stark et alContested with No evicence of WP:BEFORE, when meeting WP:NFOOTBALL it's better to put it on afdWith regards to WP:GNG, I found this trivial mention, this mention in Bury Times, name check in Lancashire Telegraph and this brief quote in Bolton News. Since all coverage has just been name checks, I would argue that he does not pass GNG.It was suggested that this person might be the same, however, it does not seem plausible as that John Borg is Maltese. He also looks older than 27 in that picture. It's possible that that John Borg might be notable enough for an article but I'm not certain.
- Kristina Chichkala: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 20:46, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of anything that comes even close to being significant coverage in a Russian language search. The Russian Wikipedia article is only referenced to a trivial mention and this brief article on the website of a club that she played for. Fails WP:GNG on evidence seen so far.
- Anipong Kijkam: nominated at AfD; notified Puan555 (talk · contribs) 21:54, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; not one single appearance that would qualify him for the latter and the coverage is insufficient for GNG. Mentions in the media are trivial; for example, this and this were among the best.
- Clint Basinger: nominated at AfD; notified Sparrowman980 (talk · contribs) 09:00, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This would usually be a draftify due to being a very undersourced BLP but, since an identical copy already exists in draft, that's not an option. It looks like this got copied and pasted over after the draft declined.Whilst his number of subscribers would indicate that he should be notable, I'm not finding that much coming up when searching his name. Firstly, I found this, which, assuming it is RS, is quite good. The second best I found was this but it just looks like a transcript of one of his videos. Lastly, I found this brief article in a reliable source.I would say that he does not pass WP:BIO but I'm happy to be proved wrong.
- Gassama Alfusainey: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 12:57, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't seem any more notable than when he was previously up for deletion. Still hasn't played at professional level so still fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Searches under both "Gassama Alfusainey" and "Cesc Gassama" reveal nothing more than trivial coverage. I would expect someone who gets almost a goal per game to have more coverage than this (the infobox stats are unsourced and I couldn't find a source that confirms them). Nothing at Playmakerstats, GSA or Football Critic.
- Vent Pro: nominated at AfD; notified Lazyman42 (talk · contribs) 17:53, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: In line with WP:NSOFT, I have checked for coverage in Gbooks, Gnews and Gscholar and found nothing. This would not pass WP:GNG by the looks of it either. It is currently referenced only to forum posts that were made on 7th January (yesterday as I type this). I'm no software genius but this doesn't strike me as being a notable enough piece of software for Wikipedia.
- Ayrton Sonkur: nominated at AfD; notified Adric of Alzarius (talk · contribs) 23:02, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to be subject to significant coverage in multiple sources so does not appear to pass WP:GNG. Alleged two appearances for Queen of the South, which would give him presumed notability under WP:NFOOTBALL, do not appear to be supported by any reliable sources. I have checked Football Database, Soccerway, WF, Flashscore, Football Critic and GSA. Most confirm that he was on the bench once for them but never played.
- Mason Scott (musician): nominated at AfD; notified JamesKing2000 (talk · contribs) 15:12, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to meet WP:NMUSICIAN; nothing found on an Official Charts search. No evidence of being able to meet WP:BASIC and none of the sources in the article confer notability. Nothing found in a WP:BEFORE search.
- Palki Sharma Upadhyay: nominated at AfD; notified Naresh09meena20 (talk · contribs) 09:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:G4 declined as the article is different enough from the previous one. In my opinion, there is still a concern over WP:ANYBIO, WP:JOURNALIST and WP:BASIC. Whilst there are a lot of references this time, most are either primary, trivial mentions or sources written by her, such as this. For someone to meet notability criteria, generally, they would need to have people writing about them as well. I could not find anyone writing extensively about Upadhyay. As discussed in the previous AfD, the awards don't satisfy ANYBIO either.
- Graham Lawlor: nominated at AfD; notified Carlinbohs (talk · contribs) 18:53, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not finding enough coverage to pass WP:GNG in a search. I found a trivial mention in the Irish Independent, a name check in the 42, this very, very brief article in The Irish Times and this match report.
- Bahtiyar Topal: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 19:08, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as per WF and Soccerway]. Appears to fail WP:GNG as searches in Google News, ProQuest and DuckDuckGo did not yield any significant coverage. None of the sources in the article show notability either.
- Gül Eroğlu: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 19:16, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as never played in a league listed at WP:FPL; nothing found in a search of Gnews, ProQuest or a Turkish language search to show WP:GNG being met.
- Wongpakorn Jareontaveesuk: nominated at AfD; notified Puan555 (talk · contribs) 19:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reungyos Janchaichit: nominated at AfD; notified Puan555 (talk · contribs) 19:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL according to Soccerway, Footystats and Soccerpunter; the article itself makes no claim of passing NFOOTBALL either. Coverage from a WP:BEFORE search did not show WP:GNG being met either. Best sources were [4] [5] [6]
- Elena Gorbacheva: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 22:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: U19 caps and being her team's top scorer in the UEFA Cup are accolades that do not confer notability, unfortunately. She does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and does not appear to meet WP:GNG, which are the only two guidelines for footballers; a Russian search yielded zero significant coverage.
- Bassivity Digital: nominated at AfD; notified MusicFreak33 (talk · contribs) 12:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The parent company is currently at AfD and is looking like it will be deleted. The notability issues are clear to see for this one as well. I've noticed that User:doomsdayer520 added maintenance templates a while ago which were removed with no attempt to address the issue. I can't see how this subsidiary of a non-notable record label would meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG.
- MourningSound Records: nominated at AfD; notified Dthreats (talk · contribs) 13:05, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't see that there is enough here to pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. This band has a very small catalogue of releases and none of the bands or albums seem to be notable. Bhelliom had an article but it was deleted as A7 all the way back in 2007. There is a tiny bit of (promotional sounding) info at this website but I found little else. The label is listed on Discogs but I don't believe that it makes it notable by default.
- Avaye Honar: nominated at AfD; notified Ultimate1220 (talk · contribs) 13:23, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Searching "آوای هنـــر" and "Avaye Honar" doesn't seem to bring much to suggest that this would pass WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. It has a brief bio at Genius and a Facebook page with 133 followers. Most other hits are either primary sources or about something that is nothing to do with this record label. For example there is 'Avaye Honar Gallery' and 'Avaye Honar Institute of Music' both of which seem to be more notable than this record label.
- Amirul Shafik Che Soh: nominated at AfD; notified Hasbi1991 (talk · contribs) 17:41, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I reverted some unsourced edits to this and realised that the player does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL; appearances for Kelantan, even if correct, would not qualify him as Kelantan were playing in the second tier in 2019 and 2020. Coverage of him is trivial, including on Goal.com, Malaysian Metro and Malay Mail. Does not look to pass WP:GNG, which is the bare minimum guideline for footballers that don't pass NFOOTBALL.
- Boris Radovanović: nominated at AfD 18:10, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The most trivial passing of WP:NFOOTBALL that I have ever seen; he came onto the pitch and played less than one minute of professional football. This was to be his only appearance. Whilst I am aware that passing NFOOTBALL was enough at the time to have an article, there are now almost 100 AfD discussions that say that a borderline pass, which this clearly is, is not enough on its own. Please note that his two alleged appearances for HŠK Posušje do not count towards NFOOTBALL as the Bosnian league was not professional back then.In terms of WP:GNG, this article does nothing and this article has four sentences about him, which basically confirm what we already know. He played one minute. He never played again. He got released.
- Charlize Rule: nominated at AfD; notified Haydos0019 (talk · contribs) 09:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL; clear consensus in more than 20 recent AfD discussions that appearances in the W-League do not make you notable by default; see Jodie Bain, Weidenbach and Tais-Borg to name but three. No evidence of WP:GNG either; please note that the article contains a lot of opinions and statements that have failed verification, for example, "Rule was substituted into the match in the 88th minute and was able to get a few touches on the ball." and "Rule was considered a standout performer despite the 3–0 loss. Post match rule stated; "Wearing this jersey means so much to me."" During my WP:BEFORE search, the only source I found that gives Rule more than a name check was this but I have no idea if it is reliable or not. It doesn't appear to be a major publication and it's not clear where they get their info from. Even if we do say that it's a reliable source, you still need more than one source to pass GNG.
- Naeem Charles: nominated at AfD; notified Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk · contribs) 19:02, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has not played in one of the three listed professional leagues at WP:FPL, failing WP:NFOOTBALL; USL League Two is a development league, NISA isn't listed at FPL and Westfalenliga 2 is in the second tier of the amateur leagues in Germany. Coverage during a WP:BEFORE search was trivial, failing WP:GNG.
- 2018–19 FC UTA Arad season: nominated at AfD; notified Mihai.zamfir30 (talk · contribs) 19:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There would need to be something ground-breaking for this to justify its own article. Clearly not covered by WP:NSEASONS and fails WP:GNG. If anything notable did happen this season, it can be covered in the main article in one or two sentences. Essentially, this article is an (incomplete) collection of statistics on a season that does not meet notability guidelines on its own; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
- Yesmin Ben Hammouda: nominated at AfD 10:07, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- Calvin McGrory: nominated at AfD; notified Microwave Anarchist (talk · contribs) 22:49, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL (see WP:FPL) and I can't find any sources that provide in-depth coverage of McGrory as an individual, so looks like this fails WP:GNG too. Every source I can find only mentions him in passing.
- Sushma Adhikari: nominated at AfD; notified Ramghale (talk · contribs) 10:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Disha Jha: nominated at AfD; notified Ricktechno (talk · contribs) 18:05, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD but no reason provided. Does not meet any inclusion guideline; assistant directors and crew members are not notable by default and would need to meet WP:BASIC or WP:GNG. Also WP:NOTINHERITED; notability is not inherited from famous parents. Changing to a redirect could be tricky as there is not one clear and obvious redirect target (I would argue both parents are equally notable).
- Darren Deadman: nominated at AfD; notified TBM10 (talk · contribs) 19:57, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing enough evidence to justify an article; does not seem to meet the standards of WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. A WP:BEFORE search revealed some sensationalism from The Sun and Daily Mirror about being 'sacked' but this isn't supported by any reliable sources. The only other claim to notability is for not giving a yellow card to Billy Sharp but this incident, alone, did not get enough coverage, in my view, to make him pass GNG.
- Fred Graham (referee): nominated at AfD; notified Egghead06 (talk · contribs) 20:10, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Clearly a fairly prolific referee but that alone does not make him notable by default. I did not find any sources exploring him in depth during a search of Google and Gnews. ProQuest was slightly better; I found this and this but, in my view, these articles do not add enough depth to build a biography from. Newspaper articles where a referee is only mentioned briefly because they made a controversial decision is arguably trivial coverage. I do not believe he meets any reasonable interpretation of WP:BASIC/WP:GNG, the former clearly says trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.
- List of clubs winner the national league 30 times and more: nominated at AfD; notified Anas88mohammed (talk · contribs) 22:35, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Initial rationale was Fails WP:LISTN and does not meet any relevant inclusion criteria; there is no evidence to suggest that winning the national domestic league 30 times is any more significant than winning it any other amount of times.Contested by article creator Welcome , Dear Admins , im created this article To clarify the list of clubs that are most winning in the local leagues around the world, and i have set a barrier of 30 titles to show the value of some of the major clubs. I ask from your administration to allow me continued writing on this page, and I can editing or changing the name of this article (about number of titles) and make it open without limits to be more logic.
- 2lane: nominated at AfD; notified InfoMoznow (talk · contribs) 12:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Although there is a WP:A7 tag on the article, I do not believe that it meets the criteria for speedy deletion as there is a claim of significance; charting in three different countries, although this is not supported by reliable sources. Not even one of the sources in the article could be considered reliable and I found nothing better in my WP:BEFORE search. Most likely a vanity article.
- BigBoss: nominated at AfD; notified WhiteRoomBlues (talk · contribs) 16:26, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ali Pour Dara: nominated at AfD; notified Mohammadabas1 (talk · contribs) 22:51, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; found no useful coverage when searching the Persian version of his name and nothing in English other than listings in exhaustive football database websites like World Football and Transfermarkt which do not confer notability.
- Tasrif Khan: nominated at AfD; notified MunnaKoushik (talk · contribs) 10:39, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to meet WP:NMUSICIAN, WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO etc. Can find no notability outside of being a member of the band 'Kureghor' which may or may not be notable. Would redirect to Kureghor if an article existed. This should have stayed in draft space but was moved over by the creator. I then added a BLP PROD which the creator responded to by blanking the page. I then requested speedy deletion at which point the creator restored the original unsourced page. Since we are just going around in circles, I am now taking this to AfD.
- Cidade Deportiva de Abegondo: nominated at AfD; notified Cotro (talk · contribs) 10:59, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Ciudad Deportiva Rafael Gómez; my WP:BEFORE search found nothing more than trivial, routine mentions for this collection of training pitches. The only in-depth coverage is from this blog. Redirect is a possibility but there are three possible targets Deportivo Fabril, Deportivo de La Coruña (women) and Deportivo de La Coruña.
- 2018–19 FC Ripensia Timișoara season: nominated at AfD; notified Mihai.zamfir30 (talk · contribs) 11:41, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There would need to be something ground-breaking for this to justify its own article. Clearly not covered by WP:NSEASONS and fails WP:GNG. If anything notable did happen this season, it can be covered in the main article in one or two sentences (the FC Ripensia Timișoara is not so long that that would be a problem). Essentially, this article is an (incomplete) collection of statistics on a season that does not meet notability guidelines on its own; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2013–14 FC Bihor Oradea season, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2020–21 CSM Bucovina Rădăuți season, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017–18 FCSB II season and many others.
- Thanathorn Namchan: nominated at AfD; notified Puan555 (talk · contribs) 12:06, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Clearly fails WP:NFOOTBALL and falls short on WP:GNG from what I can see searching his name in Thai; he appears to have gained some routine coverage which basically just consists of announcements of being in the youth academy for Leicester and Leuven. He occasionally gets named alongside other youth players in other routine announcements and match reports too. I could not find anything to suggest that he is still an active player; he was in Leuven's academy in 2019 but can't find anything to suggest any more recent activity so he may well have retired without ever playing a game.
- Kiadtisak Chaodon: nominated at AfD; notified Puan555 (talk · contribs) 12:17, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; the only coverage of him found in a WP:BEFORE search that was more than a name check was this which is way short of the mark. All other coverage seems to consist of youth match squad listings.
- Stephanie Tokich: nominated at AfD; notified Hack (talk · contribs) 18:32, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG; best source I could find was this brief article in The Advertiser. I also found this most trivial of mentions and confirmation that her career was very brief; she does not appear to have an ongoing football career.
- SPI Publications: nominated at AfD; notified 106.223.124.20 (talk · contribs) 18:55, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: My WP:BEFORE search failed to find any independent sources that would suggest a passing of WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. Article was previously deleted at Split Poetry India for being too promotional. This article is not written in a promotional way but I can't see much to establish notability. Probably just a very young company still trying to get off the ground. I found zero independent coverage under the company's name nor 'Split Poetry India' nor 'Gautam Jha'. Also note that Jha seems to be the person that wrote this article so there is a probable WP:COI.
- Authors Tree Publishing: nominated at AfD; notified Writetomithlesh (talk · contribs) 22:20, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG; zero coverage outside of its own promotional/sponsored articles and self-published sources. Also see List of self-publishing companies, where the article creator continually tries to promote this company. At best, this is WP:TOOSOON, way too soon.
- Hariz Kamaruddin: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 14:20, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG; no coverage found under "Hariz Kamaruddin" or "Hariz Kamarudin". Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as per GSA, Soccerway and Footballcritic. The only appearances recorded are youth internationals and a cup game for Johor's reserve team, neither of which count towards NFOOTBALL presumed notability.
- Mearaj Tabasilotfabadi: nominated at AfD; notified Mirtalebi.official (talk · contribs) 14:29, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Looks to fail all applicable notability guidelines including WP:NMUSICIAN, WP:ANYBIO and WP:BASIC. Sources are all unreliable and I found nothing better myself. Being on Spotify, Amazon Music and YouTube are all weak claims to notability. Even if we assume that the sources are reliable and independent they do nothing to explain how exactly this person is supposed to be notable.
- Stephen Roche (coach): nominated at AfD; notified Darthfyer86 (talk · contribs) 08:59, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale was Fails WP:BASIC; has been tagged for notability for over 2 years. A WP:BEFORE search revealed routine news of him being appointed as coach for the two teams that he coached but no significant coverage.Contested with reasoning this is a borderline case and needs more scrutiny than a PROD can provide. Take it to AfD if you want. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL on evidence available.
- Melanie Heep: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 17:34, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A footballer that largely spent her career playing regional, amateur football and has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL or had a senior international cap, failing WP:NFOOTBALL. Most Frauen-Bundesliga players pass WP:GNG, however, it does not look like Heep does. This article is referenced entirely to database entries and the German language article is only referenced to club websites and database entries, none of which confer notability.In a WP:BEFORE search, I only found these non-database independent sources: Since she had very little playing time in the Bundesliga, I'm not hopeful of finding anything better.
- Ninon Kalpein: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 17:55, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A footballer who has spent the majority of her career playing 4th tier or below in Germany. Even the top tier is not listed at WP:FPL so it goes without saying that she fails WP:NFOOTBALL. PROD rationale was a BLP on a subject that does not appear to meet WP:GNGContested with May meet GNG - if her breaking her leg before a match is noteworthy, then perhaps she is noteworthy - https://www.hellwegeranzeiger.de/sport/kurioser-grund-fuer-spielabsage-des-tus-niederaden-plus-1383136.html
- Lara Stober: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 18:09, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: At best, there might be a very weak presumption of notability from her 10 minutes of Frauen-Bundesliga football, however, she has never played at a level that would allow her to pass WP:NFOOTBALL.
- Temur Chichinadze: nominated at AfD; notified GeoRugby (talk · contribs) 22:02, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I searched but could not find evidence that this rugby player is notable. None of his U20 appearances would give him presumed notability under WP:NRU and my search found nothing more than an empty Ultimate Rugby profile, a passing mention in a match report for an U20 fixture and this. If he were playing in one of the fully professional rugby union leagues, I would expect to see some coverage, the absence of coverage makes me think that he hasn't made that step up yet.
- Team Rescue Iloilo: nominated at AfD; notified Rena Mae Lee Tian (talk · contribs) 08:02, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ciprian Lucaci: nominated at AfD; notified Gabinho (talk · contribs) 11:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:NRU; for example, there are no Challenge Cup appearances or international caps. A WP:BEFORE search did not come up with any sources that would allow him to pass WP:GNG. Sources found here and here are just routine coverage of U19 rugby and do not help with establishing biographical notability.
- 2018–19 CS Mioveni season: nominated at AfD; notified Mihai.zamfir30 (talk · contribs) 18:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another stats article which violates a number of elements of WP:NOT. Clearly not given the presumed notability under WP:NSEASONS and fails WP:GNG. If anything notable did happen this season, it can be covered in the main article in one or two sentences (the CS Mioveni is not so long that that would be a problem). Essentially, this article is an (incomplete) collection of statistics on a season that does not meet notability guidelines on its own; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. See also previous consensus at this, this, this and many others.
- Werner Müller (referee): nominated at AfD; notified Almgerdeu (talk · contribs) 19:11, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His common name makes a WP:BEFORE search difficult but I have tried combinations of "Werner Müller" and 'schiedsrichter' as well as 'referee' and not found any more than the usual exhaustive database listings, name checks in match reports and a couple of images of him. The article itself makes no assertion of notability. Fails WP:GNG on evidence available.
- GSU Soccer Complex (Grambling State): nominated at AfD; notified Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk · contribs) 13:10, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was redirected to Grambling State Tigers for failing WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD; non-notable university football pitch with no significant whatsoever outside of primary sources.I had left an explanation of the reasons why I felt the article should be redirected and also suggested that the content could be merged into the parent article if absolutely necessary. My redirect was reverted without explanation so I'm taking it to AfD to establish consensus as to whether this does warrant an article. In my view and in my experience, a football stadium is not exempt from notability guidelines.
- Pablo Khali: nominated at AfD; notified Pablo Khali (talk · contribs) 18:09, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't think this passes WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG; the Billboard and 2015 Nigeria Entertainment Awards claims look like hoaxes. I could not find a source to verify them. Most of the sources don't mention Khali at all. Nothing of note coming up for "Ojako Peter Godfrey" or "Ojako Sunday Peter".
- Terry Heilbron: nominated at AfD; notified Alan Briscoe (talk · contribs) 20:16, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO and WP:BASIC. My WP:BEFORE search through Google books and British newspapers, as well as various search engines, did not yield any pieces of significant coverage. Sources invariably only cover Heilbron in a trivial way; for example, passing mentions in match reports, reporting of a manager saying they didn't like one of his refereeing decisions or and an allegation of being manhandled by a player. An allegation of spitting in a local 5-a-side game is perhaps the only story that's more than trivial but I still think it borders on WP:NOTNEWS.Even if this referee is somehow deemed notable, the article would need a complete rewrite as it is written very promotionally.
- A-Reece Discography: nominated at AfD; notified Zer06ix1401 (talk · contribs) 13:44, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary duplication of content already at A-Reece. Redundant content fork.
- Dragoș Lucan: nominated at AfD; notified Gabinho (talk · contribs) 17:39, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NRU; has only played 2nd tier in Romania, which is not fully professional, even the first tier is not listed there currently. No senior caps either. My WP:BEFORE yielded only this, which is just a repost of one of the sources already linked on the article. This is not enough for WP:GNG as he does not have the significant coverage required in multiple sources to demonstrate that he warrants a stand-alone article in a general encyclopaedia.
- Tom McDermott (footballer, born 1998): nominated at AfD; notified Cainsagnes (talk · contribs) 22:23, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A semi-professional footballer that does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. I searched but could not find any better sources than the ones already in the article; I searched his name in connection with the clubs that he has been on the books of but found little more than name checks and routine coverage. Nothing found on ProQuest. Does not appear to pass WP:GNG.
- Olivia Ellis: nominated at AfD; notified Hmlarson (talk · contribs) 14:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A footballer with only 7 minutes of football in the W-League that fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG as far as I can see. All sources in the article show just passing mentions for Ellis. In my search, I found this routine announcement, this profile page and this short news article. Does not look to pass any Wikipedia guideline.
- Nikola Dieter: nominated at AfD; notified Camw (talk · contribs) 14:55, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I searched but could not find any significant coverage at all; just passing mentions in match reports and blogs. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and does not meet any Wikipedia notability guideline.
- Bence Bakos: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 19:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL with 83 mins of professional football back in the 08/09 season but, as almost 100 recent AfDs have shown, this is only a presumption of notability. The subject fails WP:GNG and so deletion should still be considered.
- Sajad Shingali: nominated at AfD; notified Sajad shingali1 (talk · contribs) 19:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Subject does not appear to meet WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG. Article appears to be an autobiography.
- TinismDotc0m: nominated at AfD; notified Mr Mabena (talk · contribs) 20:17, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Pioneer Unit Records: nominated at AfD; notified Dplanet (talk · contribs) 20:26, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article has no reliable references and I found little better in my search; it does not appear to have had any notable releases either. The only mention that I could find that was more than just a passing mention was this interview, which ironically states that the company has invested heavily in an online presence. Aside from that we just have Discogs, Facebook, Deezer, Mixcloud and other self-published stuff. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP from what I can see.
- Sniper Records: nominated at AfD; notified Vakaman (talk · contribs) 21:43, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced for almost 14 years. This article is actually about two unrelated record labels of the same name neither of which seem to be that notable and neither of which seem to have ever released a notable piece of work. I can prove that the Bulgarian label existed because it is cited here in Hip Hop Around the World: An Encyclopedia. I couldn't actually find any in-depth coverage about either the Swedish or the Bulgarian label, though, to demonstrate a passing of WP:GNG or WP:NCORP.
- Sailboat Records: nominated at AfD; notified Fahalimachi (talk · contribs) 09:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very small and potentially non-notable record label with no notable recordings. The coverage that I could find consisted largely of unreliable sources such as Bandcamp, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Discogs, Soundcloud and so on. The coverage that I did find in Unite Asia, Backstage Whisp, Kapan Lagi and The Jakarta Post was brief and not enough to establish notability through WP:GNG or WP:NCORP.
- Sohani Hossain: nominated at AfD; notified Sohanihossain (talk · contribs) 10:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An autobiography with a claim to notability of winning two awards. The Dada Shaheb one can be verified, for example I found her here. The Mother Teresa Award is more dubious. I could not find a reliable source for this and it's telling that the article for Mother Teresa Award, with its sources, don't mention her under the winners of the 2015 award. Is this source reliable? It seems like it was written by her agent or someone closely connected. Aside from that, I found this interview, this brief mention and this article on News Boosters. She is mentioned here but, in my view, does not pass WP:BASIC or WP:CREATIVE.

- Preet Aggarwal: nominated at AfD; notified Thewhitefalcon (talk · contribs) 14:21, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- AudioPorn Records: nominated at AfD; notified Arthurbilalov (talk · contribs) 18:27, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I agree with both maintenance tags placed on the article. In my humble opinion, this fails both WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. It lacks reliable sources covering AudioPorn in depth; most coverage is trivial and AudioPorn is usually not the main subject of the article. For example [this article], which is reliable, only shows a passing mention. This source focuses on the subject but 'Full Effect Promo' is not an independent source as it's a promotional service for record labels. My WP:BEFORE search was just coming up with the usual Soundcloud, Discogs, Instagram, Mixcloud, Databeats etc. which any Joe Bloggs can get coverage on.
- Szabolcs Csordás: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 18:51, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Only very narrowly meets WP:NFOOTBALL due to 9 minutes of top tier football. Also supported here. A Hungarian search only found trivial coverage like this and this. There is now very, very clear consensus that comprehensively failing WP:GNG is far more important than passing NFOOTBALL on just a few mins of playing.
- Tamás Turi: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 19:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Only trivially passes WP:NFOOTBALL with 17 mins of football. Does not pass any reasonable interpretation of WP:GNG; this and this were the best that I found and both are just name checks in match reports. Please note that the rally driver Tamás Turi (Turi Tamás) is a different person as per this.
- Esma Kevser Aksan: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 19:46, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as only capped at U19 level. Coverage during a Turkish search was trivial stuff like this at best so does not show a passing of WP:GNG. Therefore, this does not meet any guideline.
- Zeynep Güngör: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 20:15, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as per this and, as per the same source, has not played football since 2017 so is highly unlikely to ever meet footballer notability standards. A WP:BEFORE search revealed no significant coverage but it was made difficult by her having plenty of namesakes.
- UKM Futsal Teknokrat: nominated at AfD; notified Pancanataputra (talk · contribs) 21:22, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG; could not find any coverage outside of Twitter and Instagram.
- Iulian Adrian Voinescu: nominated at AfD; notified Hugok47 (talk · contribs) 22:37, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; has not yet played for Rodez according to Soccerway and Football Database. The 5th tier of France is not professional.
- W'at Abowt Us: nominated at AfD; notified Aizadgreat (talk · contribs) 00:16, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Stockport Futsal Club: nominated at AfD; notified Oleson1984 (talk · contribs) 12:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been tagged for multiple concerns for almost 7 years now. I could not find any strong coverage in a WP:BEFORE search myself. Scrolling through the seasons here, you can see that they never played at the top level and seem to disappear entirely after the 2015/16 season and their activity on Twitter also ceases at that point. Due to not meeting GNG and not having any suggestion of notability by default, I would suggest deletion.
- Rasoul Bahmani: nominated at AfD; notified Mosi2gol (talk · contribs) 12:19, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst the BLP PROD concern was resolved by addition of one source, I can find little else out there about Bahmani outside of coverage on Twitter. This is also an apparent autobiography as the article creator has the same name as Bahmani does on his Twitter page. This does not appear to meet WP:GNG nor any relevant SNG.
- Ghassan Al-Habahbeh: nominated at AfD; notified KenanLeeWHU (talk · contribs) 12:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Looks to fail WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; no evidence of any senior appearances for Al-Ahli. Will happily withdraw if evidence does come to light.
- Balázs Banai: nominated at AfD; notified Gabute (talk · contribs) 14:18, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Can claim presumed notability through WP:NFOOTBALL because of 3 mins of professional football but a WP:BEFORE Hungarian search yielded no significant coverage and only trivial stuff like this. There is clear consensus in over 100 recent AfDs that failing WP:GNG is far more important in borderline NFOOTBALL cases like this one.
- József Boda: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 15:54, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has played 158 mins of professional football, giving presumed notability under WP:NFOOTBALL but otherwise spent most of his career in the amateur third tier of Hungarian football. During a WP:BEFORE search centred on Hungarian sources I found this trivial mention and this piece in a blog. Blogs generally aren't given as much weight as WP:RS in a deletion discussion so I believe that Boda József fails WP:GNG and should be deleted as per consenus at many similar AfDs.
- 2013 Northeast Conference Men's Soccer Tournament: nominated at AfD; notified El Mayimbe (talk · contribs) 17:23, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Per the excellent reasons raised at this AfD for the 2018 tournament. My concern is that there do not appear to be independent sources covering this tournament in depth either.
- Jairaj Varsani: nominated at AfD; notified DDP-Trooper1777 (talk · contribs) 22:33, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- 2018–19 ACS Poli Timișoara season: nominated at AfD; notified Mihai.zamfir30 (talk · contribs) 14:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another stats article which violates a number of elements of WP:NOT. Clearly not given the presumed notability under WP:NSEASONS and fails WP:GNG. This season is actually covered better in ACS Poli Timișoara so this article serves little purpose. Essentially, this article is an (incomplete) collection of statistics on a season that does not meet notability guidelines on its own; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. See also previous consensus at this, this, this and many others.In addition, I searched for some of the matches at random to see what sort of coverage they generally get. I could only find trivial match reporting with little analysis or depth, for example The Sportsman, Tribuna and Futaa and so on. This is bare minimum stats-only reporting and does not confer notability.
- F.C. AFA: nominated at AfD; notified Streit~enwiki (talk · contribs) 18:52, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any decent sources about this mini-football (which appears to be another term for futsal) club. Searching the Georgian name (ახალგაზრდა ფეხბურთელთა ასოციაცია) does not come up with anything useful and the Georgian Wikipedia article is also completely unsourced. I'm not sure that there's anything inherently notable about completing in the Friendship Championship or Forum Cup either but please do correct me if I'm wrong.
- Dubdisk Records: nominated at AfD; notified CatrionaCrook (talk · contribs) 19:08, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not look to pass WP:GNG or WP:NCORP; sources found during a WP:BEFORE search do not address the company directly with an appropriate level of depth. I also do not believe that being 'the first dubstep record label in Swindon' is enough of a reason for us to ignore the notability concerns.
- Olivér Fenyvesi: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 20:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His 3 mins of professional football might give a presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL but my WP:BEFORE search found nothing that could contribute towards WP:GNG. During a Hungarian search, I found this to be the best source, which is way short of the mark. There is strong consensus that failing GNG is far more important than a trivial NFOOTBALL pass.
- Citinite: nominated at AfD; notified Emzedess (talk · contribs) 22:55, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP; there is a distinct lack of sources addressing Citinite directly and in depth. All the references in the article are name checks apart from this one, which is still insufficient. I have searched ProQuest, Google News and Google Books and not found anything close to satisfying NCORP. Normal search engine results are just the usual Soundcloud, Twitter, Discogs, Myspace etc.
- Sabrina Kleifges: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 09:41, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL presumed notability and coverage is limited mostly to amateur football (tier three or below) match reports, which are trivial in nature, failing WP:GNG. The only coverage I could find that was more than just a match report mention was this and it's way short of the mark.
- Amraj Lally: nominated at AfD; notified Das osmnezz (talk · contribs) 18:37, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Only just passes WP:NFOOTBALL with 110 mins of professional football in the Greek second tier about 4 years ago but seemingly had no further career. GSA has no appearances listed and Tribuna just has the same two. In terms of WP:GNG, the article is referenced only to a forum post, which is not a valid source and in my WP:BEFORE search I found literally nothing about the player on two search engines and ProQuest. There is strong consensus now that a borderline passing of NFOOTBALL is not enough when GNG is failed.
- Kobe Cools: nominated at AfD; notified DaviesBridge (talk · contribs) 19:59, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL according to article's sources and Soccerway and coverage found in a WP:BEFORE search consisted of a transfer rumour, brief article about making Europa League debut and a Q&A. Lacks sources writing in depth about the player to pass WP:GNG rather than player speaking about himself in a Q&A, in my opinion.
- Janine Angrick: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 20:17, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and a WP:BEFORE search, which was centred on German sources, did not find any WP:GNG coverage. All I found was a brief report of her transfer and a match report.
- Sad Bin Kader Chowdhury: nominated at AfD; notified REDOWAN SHAKIL (talk · contribs) 22:47, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The only reference in the article is just a routine listing in a primary source, containing nothing more than his role in the students' union and his phone number. My WP:BEFORE search came up with a passing mention here and here. Some sources may exist in Bengali but nothing in the article suggests that he would be notable as none of his roles would make him notable by default. I can't see any criteria under WP:BIO that he meets.
- Pranav Giridhar: nominated at AfD; notified Wikipranav26 (talk · contribs) 00:12, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ali Nikfar: nominated at AfD; notified ارتین محمدیان (talk · contribs) 09:37, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to meet WP:CREATIVE or WP:BASIC from what I can find. Sources in the article are invariably self-published or just a name check in a reliable source; nothing that establishes biographical notability. I don't believe that any of his accolades place him in a position that would yet make him notable by default, either. The best sources I could find were this, this and this, all of which are passing mentions. He does not yet appear to be a notable YouTuber or producer of short films.
- Michael Naylor: nominated at AfD; notified Egghead06 (talk · contribs) 13:54, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Krodh (2019 film): nominated at AfD; notified Smkgronh (talk · contribs) 13:59, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD by article creator, no reason provided. If there were to be a WP:A7 applicable for films then this surely would have to apply to this article. Unfortunately, non-notable films are only eligible for PROD or AfD with the exception of obvious hoaxes. This appears to be an actual film as per this but I found nothing in a WP:BEFORE search that comes even remotely close to showing a passing of WP:GNG nor any criteria under WP:NFILM. Hindi Wikipedia has an article for this film currently here but it has no decent sources either and is currently up for deletion.
- Qasim Ali Shah: nominated at AfD; notified Youjay878 (talk · contribs) 14:37, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted at AfD and was speedied yesterday as WP:G11. This article is still a bit promotional but nothing that a neutral rewording couldn't sort. I'm still concerned about the notability of this person and, whilst there are plenty of refs, a closer analysis reveals some issues and I do not believe that this passes WP:GNG. Analysis to follow.
- Ivan Gogov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 15:54, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL due to coming on in the final minute of a 4-0 loss to Ludogorets. Probably played less than a minute of football and possibly didn't even touch the ball. A WP:BEFORE search in Bulgarian did not yield any coverage about this particular Ivan Gogov and there is absolutely nothing outside of football stats databases covering him. I can't find any evidence of anything other than that one minute cameo. Strong consensus now that failing GNG is more important than NFOOTBALL in borderline cases.
- Ronald Gutiérrez (referee): nominated at AfD; notified Vahe (talk · contribs) 18:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 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 deletionThere 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.
- Nathaniel Agbozo: nominated at AfD; notified JassenMarang17 (talk · contribs) 10:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL; has not played in a game between two sides in fully professional leagues according to Playmaker Stats, Soccerway and GSA. The Timorese league is not fully professional so his 25 mins for them in the AFC Cup doesn't count towards NFOOTBALL. He also looks to fail WP:GNG as the only coverage I could find was this article, which says that he was the best goalkeeper in the Timorese second tier.
- Iulian Ilie (footballer, born 2001): nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 11:24, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as has never played in a match between two teams in fully professional leagues; he is currently playing in the third tier of Romania so is not likely to play in such a game soon either. In terms of coverage, the best available seems to be a routine announcement, a name check and a transfer rumour. Does not look to pass WP:GNG.
- Emmanuel Adewole: nominated at AfD; notified Wonder6490 (talk · contribs) 13:56, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created by someone with clear WP:COI, see Talk:Emmanuel Adewole. None of the alleged appearances, all unsourced, would qualify him for WP:NFOOTBALL. Despite what the article says, El Raja were not in the top tier of Egypt at the point of Adewole signing, as they were relegated the season before, see 2013–14 Egyptian Premier League. The only reliable database that this guy features on is Football Database, which has zero appearances recorded. The entire article is supported only by routine pieces like this, which do nothing for WP:GNG.During my WP:BEFORE search, I found this Q&A and some passing mentions here, here and here. His career as an agent doesn't yet rise to passing GNG either.
- Georgios Gakos: nominated at AfD; notified GRanemos1 (talk · contribs) 14:14, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable footballer that has never played at professional level. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL according to Tribuna and the Soccerway source in the article. A Greek search yielded nothing and I only found a passing mention and another passing mention elsewhere. Looks like a WP:GNG fail.
- Runixx info tech: nominated at AfD; notified Zaidwani1 (talk · contribs) 15:54, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There are already two versions in draft space Draft:RUNIXX INFO TECH and Draft:RUNIXX INFO TECH PVT. LTD. so no point in sending a third, almost identical version, there. In my opinion, this isn't eligible for WP:A7 as being multinational is a claim of significance. The company exists and is registered but I can't see it passing WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. A very, very new business that is potentially trying to use Wikipedia to gain exposure.I think a deletion discussion is now required.
- Amir Hossein Mahmoudi (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Artin.mn (talk · contribs) 11:25, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL; currently plays in the third tier of Iran according to the sources available so no point in even draftifying. Possibly the same player as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amir Mahmoodi?
- SDSU Sports Deck: nominated at AfD; notified Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk · contribs) 16:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was initially a redirect to San Diego State Aztecs but an edit war is now taking place. It is quite clear that SDSU Sports Deck does not have any significant coverage whatsoever in independent sources so the stand-alone article is not justified. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD and the redirect should be restored. There is not currently any Wikipedia guideline that says a stadium is exempt from meeting notability criteria.
- Maritime Records: nominated at AfD; notified Ncut (talk · contribs) 17:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- Constanza Cano: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 17:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Many Spanish players pass WP:GNG despite failing WP:NFOOTBALL but I can't see that Cano is one of those players. My WP:BEFORE search found nothing better than this source, which is already in the article and that is just a routine transfer announcement.
- Marina Marimón: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 18:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG; barely any coverage found in a search. The best I could find was this routine announcement. According to BDFutbol, no ongoing career. No evidence of passing WP:NFOOTBALL either.

[edit]- Cinderella boy II (2019 film): nominated at AfD; notified CalabazaFénix2 (talk · contribs) 11:33, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Selayang f.c: nominated at AfD; notified Aidie12 (talk · contribs) 12:26, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This article is about a futsal club called "Persatuan Futsal Selayang" but, for some reason, the content is about Selangor F.C. and Football Association of Selangor. In any case, I have done a WP:BEFORE search about the futsal club, which is supposed to be the subject of the article, and can't find evidence that it passes WP:GNG.
- Mike Pike: nominated at AfD; notified Mattythewhite (talk · contribs) 19:40, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unless I'm missing something, Pike doesn't pass WP:GNG. No significant coverage found in Google Books, Google News or in a British newspaper search. The best results found in a ProQuest search were this and this, both of which are trivial newspaper stories about decisions he made in a football match. No in-depth coverage that we can build a biography from.
- Katherine Ebbs: nominated at AfD; notified Football fan south oz (talk · contribs) 22:12, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very lengthy article but there is no evidence whatsoever of any notability. She very briefly played in the W-League and then the second tier in Sweden, none of which would give a passing of WP:NFOOTBALL anyway, and then spent the rest of her career at various amateur clubs. The two best sources, this and this, are both non-independent as they are from the website of a club that she used to play for. Ozfootball confirms that her career was very brief in the W-League. My WP:BEFORE search did not find any significant coverage. Nothing on ProQuest about the player.
- Saif Farouk: nominated at AfD; notified Jokerhell (talk · contribs) 22:29, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Soccerway has no appearances listed and FilGoal only has 2 friendly matches. He does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL on that basis as the guideline requires it to be a competitive match between two sides in fully professional leagues. There is also no indication of passing WP:GNG. I did initially draftify as an alternative to deletion but the article creator cut and pasted this back to mainspace, so here we are.
- Sofiya Kovalets: nominated at AfD; notified Baseballandhistory (talk · contribs) 11:08, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:TENNIS according to ITF Tennis, Core Tennis and WTA Tennis. No Fed Cup appearances, no main draw WTA or Grand Slam appearances. The only tournaments that she has won are $10k ITF ones. I can't see enough coverage for WP:GNG either but happy to be proved wrong.
- Markos Gakos: nominated at AfD; notified GRanemos1 (talk · contribs) 13:35, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I agree with User:Chalk19's comment on the AfD for Georgios Gakos in that it looks like Markos fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL as well. For the latter, I have checked Football Critic, Soccerway, Soccerpunter and Besoccer and found no appearances listed in a WP:FPL. In terms of GNG, all I can find is this match report, which is insufficient. Searching his Greek name comes up with nothing useful.
- Kim Ji-young (tennis): nominated at AfD; notified Baseballandhistory (talk · contribs) 13:54, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to ITF Tennis, has not won any titles that would qualify her for WP:NTENNIS. Tennis Explorer lists all of her results and there is no record of any appearance in the main draw of a WTA tournament or Grand Slam. She had a couple of qualifying appearances for WTA tournaments but never made it through. I can't see any Fed Cup appearances either nor evidence of meeting WP:GNG.
- Rahime Atabay: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 16:17, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A Turkish search only came up with stats databases and Wikipedia mirrors. Google News has this, this and this, all of which are just name checks. Her profile on the Turkish Football Federation has no international caps (not even at youth level) and, since she was last recorded two years ago playing in the amateur third tier, it seems highly unlikely that she will ever pass WP:NFOOTBALL. Looks to fail WP:GNG as well but, as ever, if sources showing signficant coverage are found, please let me know.
- Hengest Records: nominated at AfD; notified Martinlooby (talk · contribs) 16:50, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable small record label that does not appear to pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. I was going to redirect it but realised that there are two possible targets, Live in Geneva (Wishbone Ash album) and Victim You, neither of which would take priority. My WP:BEFORE search was only coming up with Discogs, Twitter, Spirit of Metal, LinkedIn etc. Nothing coming up in Google News, Google Books or ProQuest.
- Ravevx: nominated at AfD; notified Revxwiki05 (talk · contribs) 08:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find evidence of passing WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG; coverage limited to self-published sources and record labels that he has been on the books of.
- Ivan Penev: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 10:41, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 46 mins at professional level ten years ago but otherwise has played in the lower tiers in Bulgaria. A Bulgarian search does not yield much about this particular Ivan Penev. Coverage found is an announcement that he got released, another announcement about the same thing, an announcement that he's back from injury and a name check. He also gets the odd name check in match reports. This is not WP:GNG level coverage.
- Amy Knights: nominated at AfD; notified SuperJew (talk · contribs) 18:44, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of meeting WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG; I did a WP:BEFORE search but found nothing more than a name check. According to Ozfootball, she had a very short career. No coverage in ProQuest at all.
- North Gloucestershire Association Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 21:43, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: It got minor coverage in local papers back in the day; the results were occasionally printed in the Gloucester Citizen and the Gloucestershire Echo and these papers occasionally reported on the AGMs as well. See here and here. This league doesn't seem any more notable than the 15 or so that we deleted last year nor do I think that it's enough to pass WP:GNG.
- Amestrong Alexandré: nominated at AfD; notified Billjones94 (talk · contribs) 08:40, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not look to pass WP:NFOOTBALL as has never played in a competitive match between two teams playing in leagues listed at WP:FPL in the fully professional section of the page nor does he appear to have any full senior caps for Angola. My WP:BEFORE search did not yield any significant coverage of the player nor do any of the three sources used in the article.
- Furniture UK: nominated at AfD; notified Niakleshkum (talk · contribs) 09:55, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged as probably not notable and having poor sources for almost 2 years now. I did a WP:BEFORE search and couldn't find any independent coverage on this company nor its founder Simon Davies. The incredibly generic name does not help at all, though. The references provided are a blog, two promo pieces and the company's own website and I have found no indication online that this can pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG.
- Balázs Egyed: nominated at AfD; notified OPES-FRM (talk · contribs) 14:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There appears to be some discrepancy here. He either fails WP:NFOOTBALL or just about skin-of-teeth passes it with one game. Soccerbase is the source that suggests that he did play one league game about six years ago. Soccerway, HLSZ and MLSZ all suggest that he does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL. Please note that the league cup game was against a third tier side so wouldn't qualify him for notability and that kispad means he sat on the bench and didn't play, if my Hungarian teacher has taught me correctly. In terms of coverage, the best I could find was name checks here and here as well as a paragraph on his club's own site and this very, very brief interview so I think he doesn't pass WP:GNG either. If we say, for the sake of argument, that he did play that one league game, there is still strong consensus from more than 100 AfDs that this is not sufficient when GNG is not met.
- Mystic101: nominated at AfD; notified TheRealMystic101 (talk · contribs) 18:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Vanity article on a non-notable rapper. Has no decent coverage outside self-published sources like Soundcloud, Fandom, Linkedin, Spotify, Apple Music etc.Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN but all the best to him.
- Gwarn Music: nominated at AfD; notified 213.106.175.107 (talk · contribs) 20:10, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced for 16 years and my WP:BEFORE search is not turning up the sort of coverage required to pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. NCORP is a high bar, to be fair, but for good reason. This has no hits at all on Google News, Google Books or ProQuest. Even the Discogs page is bare. There is also nothing coming up in a British newspaper search. I think this is actually the first time I've searched something and had no hits!This surely, surely does not meet 2021 Wikipedia notability standards for a company.
- Norbert Mokánszki: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 20:28, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL due to 25 mins of professional football but a Hungarian search did not uncover any significant coverage on the player. The best source that I could find was this brief match report. As per recent consensus on similar cases, deletion should be considered.
- Janine Angrick: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 11:10, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and a WP:BEFORE search, which was centred on German sources, did not find any WP:GNG coverage. All I found was a brief report of her transfer and a match report. I closed the previous AfD because it looked like she had caps for Germany but DFB confirms that these are just under-15 and under-16 friendly matches neither of which would confer notability so the initial deletion rationale stands.
- Mehdi Zahedi: nominated at AfD; notified Qomcity (talk · contribs) 15:14, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of notability for this futsal player; does not apparently meet WP:GNG nor any SNG. Sources in the article only mention Zahedi in passing and there was nothing better found in a search.
- Colin Trussell: nominated at AfD; notified Beauregardblue (talk · contribs) 17:50, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As with all referees, there is some minor coverage of decisions made but nothing to establish biographical notability. His playing career did not rise to passing WP:NFOOTBALL either. The best sources that I could find were a name check in the Liverpool Echo, another name check in The Guardian and a British newspaper search didn't come up with anything that would satisfy WP:GNG.
- Cindy Lay: nominated at AfD; notified Layles (talk · contribs) 18:28, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Abdulrahman Al Masri: nominated at AfD; notified Firas1977 (talk · contribs) 20:16, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been tagged as a notability concern for over 11 years now. There is no clear proof that he passes WP:NFOOTBALL. The one source contains very little info and his Kooora page only shows a goal in two youth matches and a friendly. Unfortunately, Kooora only displays games in which the player scored a goal and doesn't list the appearance otherwise. It's possible that he may pass NFOOTBALL but, without proper evidence, this cannot be assumed. I'm also concerned about WP:GNG.
- Ibrahim Mamman: nominated at AfD; notified Jhonnnnny (talk · contribs) 22:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Nothing coming up for "Ibrahim Mamman" or "Ibrozinii" or "Mamman Kolo Ibrahim" at all. I could not verify the claims that he passes WP:NFOOTBALL during a WP:BEFORE search and, judging by the complete lack of coverage, am of the belief that he fails WP:GNG also. The article is also written like a CV.
- Horlah Oladeji: nominated at AfD; notified Horlahmihdeh (talk · contribs) 22:31, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An apparent autobiography on a footballer that does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL; the best source is this, which is way short of the mark.

- Alexandru Alexe: nominated at AfD; notified RomaniaRugbyFan (talk · contribs) 12:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances that would qualify him for notability under WP:NRU according to this source and this one. A WP:BEFORE search only came up with the usual name checks in match reports and squad announcements so no evidence of passing WP:GNG.
- Tudor Butnariu: nominated at AfD; notified Gabinho (talk · contribs) 13:27, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to ItsRugby and Super-Liga, has not made any WP:NRU appearances. Coverage found is just routine squad listings. This was the best source, but it's short of the level of coverage required to pass WP:GNG.
- Cristi Boboc: nominated at AfD; notified RomaniaRugbyFan (talk · contribs) 14:58, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NRU as per ItsRugby and Super-Liga. There is a reality TV contestant of the same name who seems to get a lot of coverage but they are different people, see this source. That other Boboc is slightly older and looks different. I found one source covering Boboc that was more than a passing mention but he lacks the multiple sources required to pass WP:GNG.
- Julien Bartoli: nominated at AfD; notified Gabinho (talk · contribs) 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:NRU according to Itsrugby and Super-Liga. As he has only played at U-17 level for France, I wouldn't consider it likely that he will debut soon. A WP:BEFORE search did not turn up any in-depth coverage about this particular Julien Bartoli so does not look to pass WP:GNG.
- Christina Papageorgiou: nominated at AfD; notified Timsdad (talk · contribs) 10:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was initially a PROD by User:Geschichte due to WP:NFOOTBALL failure. It was then removed with the comment According to its article, this is the top-level national league. By insisting that it is not "professional", you are making the sexist argument that women can never be notable in this sport.Putting NFOOTBALL to one side, I am struggling to find anything to prove that Papageorgiou can pass WP:GNG. All the sources cited are primary and a WP:BEFORE search reveals little better. The best two sources that I could find were this and this, neither of which we can build a biography from.
- Cralosophus: nominated at AfD; notified Theinsectencyclopedia (talk · contribs) 11:56, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Possible hoax? I can't find anything about this animal and "Cralosophus jackforsteriensis" returns zero results across every search engine that I have tried.

- List of cricketers to score a double hundred in their hundredth Test: nominated at AfD; notified DiscoVolante99 (talk · contribs) 13:30, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A list that does not meet WP:LISTN and has no navigational purpose as it only contains Joe Root and there is no absolute guarantee that any other cricketers will be joining him any time soon. The content is already covered adequately in Root's article and I don't see that there would be a much of a case for turning this into a redirect either. This borders on being a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation anyway and we do not need an article on every single interesting cricket statistic.
- Florian Roșu: nominated at AfD; notified Gabinho (talk · contribs) 19:06, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to ItsRugby and Super-Liga, he does not meet WP:NRU. Coverage found consists entirely of passing mentions in squad announcements and match reports so no indication of meeting WP:GNG either. In addition, the 4 references in the article are all just name checks as well.
- Paul Popoaia: nominated at AfD; notified Gabinho (talk · contribs) 19:11, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Nothing found on ItsRugby or Super-Liga that would give presumed notability under WP:NRU. The article contains 2 pieces of in-depth coverage from non-independent sources which do not count towards WP:GNG. Nothing better found in a WP:BEFORE search. Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON.
- ForeignMeech: nominated at AfD; notified Trap212 (talk · contribs) 22:02, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article is sourced entirely to his own promotional sources. A WP:BEFORE search did not yield any coverage in independent sources so this rapper fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN comprehensively.
- Suon Noeut: nominated at AfD; notified Wolfkill13 (talk · contribs) 09:57, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway, GSA, Footballcritic and Playmakerstats, this does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL. Best sources found were this and this, neither of which would be enough for WP:GNG.
- Takaki Ose: nominated at AfD; notified Wolfkill13 (talk · contribs) 10:23, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Looks like failing WP:NFOOTBALL as no reliable sources suggest that he has ever played in a game between two teams listed at WP:FPL nor has he received any senior international caps for Japan. I checked Soccerway, GSA and Football Critic before starting this discussion. During my WP:BEFORE search, I could find only name checks in match reports, squad announcements and transfer news and there is general consensus that this type of coverage does not add up to passing WP:GNG as it does not address Ose in depth.
- Medivia Online: nominated at AfD; notified EldrinMedivia (talk · contribs) 11:17, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD contested with Objecting the deletion proposal. Added citations and linked some articles that I could found. Please let me know if this page needs improvement. I can't see any evidence of this passing WP:NVG nor any other relevant SNG. It does not have significant commentary from published sources that are independent of the subject. Forum posts and wikis are not considered to be reliable or published.
- Roxanna Bina: nominated at AfD; notified Roxybina (talk · contribs) 11:37, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted via PROD so no longer eligible. No indication that Bina actually passes WP:NACTOR, WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NJOURNALIST. She does not have multiple significant acting roles nor have any of these books that she has released garnered significant attention. I suppose the other claim to significance is being an 'influencer', but I see this word used way too often on subjects that don't even pass the bare minimum of WP:GNG. I have used a few search engines, including DDG, which filters out a lot of the junk sources, but still not found anything significant.
- Kritn ajitesh: nominated at AfD; notified Cyclopxx (talk · contribs) 20:04, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I have reworded some of the phrases so that this can escape a speedy deletion for being promotional. Still, there is no sign of meeting WP:NACTOR or any other SNG; looks like another Jack of all trades, master of none. This Forbes India is marked as paid for and the only other sources I could find were a blacklisted News Patrolling source and this which also have a strong smell of promo. I don't believe he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG but if better sources are found, please ping me.
- Stéphane Masala: nominated at AfD; notified Paul Vaurie (talk · contribs) 22:52, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Starting a discussion at request of User:Paul Vaurie on WT:FOOTY. The concern is that the subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL.
- Armando Monteiro (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Paul Vaurie (talk · contribs) 22:57, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Starting a discussion at request of User:Paul Vaurie on WT:FOOTY. The concern is that the subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL.
- Paulius Janušauskas: nominated at AfD; notified PauliusPet (talk · contribs) 10:47, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was deleted 7 years ago for failing WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. He definitely still fails the latter and I'm still not convinced that there's quite enough out there to suggest a passing of the former. The three best sources that I could find that mention him were an announcement that he is renewing his contract, this Q&A and this brief quote from him.
- Luciano Barletta: nominated at AfD; notified D3FAULTX8 (talk · contribs) 11:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A non-notable remixer. Definitely fails WP:NMUSICIAN and likely fails WP:GNG as well. The only two decent sources are both Q&As on websites of questionable reliability and authenticity; see for yourself here and here. Notice the remarkable similarity between these two websites. Even if we do assume that these are WP:RS and independent of Barletta and each other, the Q&As do nothing to establish that Barletta is any more notable than any other Joe Bloggs DJ remixing songs with software in his bedroom.
- Debris (DJ): nominated at AfD; notified Sjoerdvermaak (talk · contribs) 11:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I would agree with the notability concern tag. There is no evidence that he passes WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG also looks unlikely. There is this brief piece with a promotional tone and this adds nothing. The DJ Mag source is only a passing mention as well. During my WP:BEFORE search, the only other source I found was Party Flock, which does nothing to establish notability.
- Davemax: nominated at AfD; notified D3FAULTX8 (talk · contribs) 14:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another unremarkable and non-notable producer. A WP:BEFORE search only comes up with the usual Soundcloud, Instagram, Beatport, Twitter etc. Digging deeper, I managed to find this event announcement and this concert announcement. In the article, we have here and here two articles in a local paper, both fairly brief and not making any strong claim of significance. Aside from that, we have two promo interviews on an EDM fan site here and here. There is a bit of hype but nothing to suggest that anything that he has achieved so far in his career establishes notability under WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN.
- Fabrice Baron: nominated at AfD; notified Paul Vaurie (talk · contribs) 16:42, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: User:Paul Vaurie, the creator of this article, has asked for a discussion on the notability of the subject. Baron does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL as he has never played in a match between two teams playing in fully professional leagues. He has, however, played in a national cup final. With that being said, there does not apparently look to be a wealth of coverage specifically about Baron available. I did a French search in DDG, which came up with nothing. I also searched L'Express and Libération none of which go back far enough. There is this brief article in La Voix du Nord but, ideally, we would need to see more before we can definitely conclude that Baron passes WP:GNG.
- Lodge Records: nominated at AfD; notified Electroangus (talk · contribs) 20:54, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Creator objected to deletion back in 2006 saying that they were going to add sources to show notability... My WP:BEFORE search is mostly just coming up with stuff about Black Lodge Records. There is a Portuguese record label of the same name but that seems barely notable either. Unless I'm missing something, this fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG.
- Olaf Koszela: nominated at AfD; notified Crimson ClawYT (talk · contribs) 09:16, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD contested but no reason provided. I can find no evidence that he meets either WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. He is not currently playing in a league listed at WP:FPL either so I would support deletion over draftifying.
- Chameleon Lectra: nominated at AfD; notified Freakshownerd (talk · contribs) 15:06, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't see any evidence that this can pass WP:NCORP. My WP:BEFORE search has come back with nothing more than Discogs and the company's own Facebook page. This company is still active and posting on Facebook but I could find no coverage from independent sources that addresses this company directly and in detail. I found nothing on Gnews or Gbooks and a British newspaper search also came back with zilch.
- Motile (record label): nominated at AfD; notified Jim59 (talk · contribs) 15:18, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Twice declined WP:A7 and was also a contested PROD. It seems the main reason this hasn't been deleted is because Robert Jarvis, who released one album through this label, had won an award at the British Composer Awards but notability is not inherited as per WP:NOTINHERITED. Companies need to pass WP:NCORP and WP:GNG and I can see no evidence of that for this label. According to their website and Discogs, this label has only ever had two releases. My WP:BEFORE search did not yield any coverage about this label that could be considered as direct and in-depth coverage so I cannot see how this passes NCORP.I checked British newspapers, news coverage, books and tried a couple of search engines.
- 2010–11 US Créteil-Lusitanos season: nominated at AfD; notified Joao10Siamun (talk · contribs) 23:08, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There is a general consensus that clubs playing below professional level don't generally qualify for stand-alone season articles as they don't tend to meet WP:GNG. This does not meet the presumed notability given by WP:NSEASONS since they were not playing in a top professional league this season. Créteil-Lusitanos is not a massive club (they have spent most of their life playing below professional level) and doesn't tend to get enough non-routine coverage for these articles to be necessary. Aside from that, there doesn't appear to be anything particularly remarkable about this season that would allow it to be an exception to the general rule. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
- North & Mid-Herts Football League: nominated at AfD; notified ChrisTheDude (talk · contribs) 19:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't see any evidence that this short-lived, sub-county football league ever received enough dedicated, non-trivial coverage to meet our notability guidelines. The Comet had occasional brief round-ups, see here and here. I found one article in the St Albans Review. Its only mention in the BBC was just before its demise. I don't believe that this league is any more notable than the 20 or so sub-county leagues deleted last year for failing WP:GNG.
- Tomáš Fajčík: nominated at AfD; notified IQual (talk · contribs) 19:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 50 mins of professional football to scrape a WP:NFOOTBALL pass six years ago and hasn't played near the professional level since. The three best sources that I could find were in Ujszo, Sobotnik and Dnes. All of these were just passing mentions so there is no obvious sign that WP:GNG is met. Clear consensus that GNG takes priority in these cases.
- Zackary (2017 film): nominated at AfD; notified Margaret bali0 (talk · contribs) 23:32, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD was The only criterion of WP:NFILM that this stands a chance of passing is number 3. I don't, however, believe that Culver City Film Festival qualifies as a "major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking". Since this clearly fails the other 4 criteria and fails WP:GNG, I believe that it should be deleted. Please note that the five 'references' used are all press releases and rehashings of each other. No reviews found.Contested with comment Removed some movie award references and added the reference of an interview/review about the movie too. Added Culver City Film Festival (international and acknowledged festival based in LA) reference.I do not believe that the Culver City Film Festival award is enough for this to pass our notability criteria when every other criterion under NFILM is failed and when GNG is failed. This is a non-notable 7 minute film with a very minor award and no published reviews.
- Dear Gaia (2019 film): nominated at AfD; notified Margaret bali0 (talk · contribs) 14:13, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was Does not meet WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. While this might look like a good source, it is clearly marked as a press release. This film received no significant coverage or published reviews. The awards received are not major enough to satisfy criterion 3 of NFILM. and was endorsed by User:Donaldd23 and User:Kolma8.PROD removed without providing a reason nor addressing any of the NFILM or GNG concerns presented.

- Southern Reformed College and Seminary: nominated at AfD; notified Jamandlee (talk · contribs) 12:40, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any decent coverage outside of primary sources and routine database listings for this school; does not apparently meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG. The article was possibly created for promotional purposes as it appears that it was created by the school's president, Rev. Dr. James A. Lee.
- Anup Maithil: nominated at AfD; notified Imjha1 (talk · contribs) 17:03, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested redirect. This person is clearly not notable enough for a stand-alone article and does not meet WP:GNG independently. The redirect to Mithila Student Union was contested by the article creator. All coverage of this person is trivial and he is never mentioned outside of his association with this organisation. I can't find any evidence of notability separate from Mithila Student Union.
- 2020–21 Stal Stalowa Wola season: nominated at AfD; notified Najgorszakomediaromantyczna (talk · contribs) 10:33, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As well written as this article is, I don't actually think that this meets our notability criteria for football seasons. It certainly doesn't get presumed notability from WP:NSEASONS as the Polish 4th tier is certainly not a top professional league. The coverage is also not enough to meet WP:GNG. The season gets in-depth coverage from the club's own website but, from secondary sources, the coverage is fairly minor. I tried searching for some match reports for this season and found that this and this were representative. I don't believe that there is enough evidence of WP:GNG here. Football seasons at amateur, regional level are almost never notable and I can't see this being an exception.
- 2007–08 Mersin İdmanyurdu season: nominated at AfD; notified Red devil 41 (talk · contribs) 11:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A football season that was played two tiers below the professional level so does not gain any presumed notability from WP:NSEASONS. The references, although plentiful, are just links to Mackolik and the Turkish Football Federation, which do not show the level of independent coverage required to pass WP:GNG. See here and here for the typical sort of depth of coverage that this season received.
- North Hertfordshire League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 12:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article was dePRODed back in 2006 when any football league that ever existed at any point anywhere was presumed to be notable regardless of the level of coverage received. General consensus now is that leagues below level 11 need to pass WP:GNG to have an article. My newspaper searches of "North Hertfordshire League" and "North Herts Football League" did not yield any significant coverage in newspapers nor search engines.
- PopLife Records: nominated at AfD; notified Adishesha (talk · contribs) 12:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A poorly sourced article on a company that does not appear to pass WP:NCORP. My particular concern is that there is no coverage that satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH, which states "Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization." Sources cited in the article are inappropriate due to being forum posts, MySpace, blogs and the record label's own website. My WP:BEFORE search yielded only trivial mentions in independent sources and it's telling that this has zero hits on ProQuest. There is no obvious WP:ATD either since the record label apparently had some connection with three different notable artists.
- Alesha Clifford: nominated at AfD; notified Camw (talk · contribs) 18:05, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale was appears to fail WP:GNG; I couldn't find anything more than passing mentions in match reports and squad announcementsContested with According to its article, this is the top-level national league. By insisting that it is not "professional", you are making the sexist argument that women can never be notable in this sport.Whilst over 50 appearances in the W-League would give a reasonable presumption that sources must exist, I have not been able to find anything to prove that Clifford is notable. My WP:BEFORE search did not find any coverage in independent sources that would allow us to build a biographical article. Coverage found on ProQuest was only trivial. In an Australian-centred search, the best sources found were this, this and this, none of which go into much detail about Clifford.
- Janine Ganser: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 18:20, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL and more than likely fails WP:GNG also. A German search yielded no significant coverage whatsoever. The three best sources that I found were this match report, this match report and a trivial mention.
- Luna Records: nominated at AfD; notified TheBigGuy (talk · contribs) 10:41, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODed for failing WP:NCORP in 2010 and dePRODed with comment deprodding record label of several notable artists which, in my view, does not address the concern of failing NCORP which takes precedence over any inherited notability from the notable artists that it may or may not have had on its roster at some point. From my research, I can't see that their connection with Grant Campbell or OvO is significant enough to even warrant a merge and, besides, there is no useful content to even merge anyway.As far as I can tell, this is a very small record label based in Middlesbrough that does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH; I have not found multiple, independent, reliable sources discussing this company directly and in significant detail.
- Ole Erik Midtskogen: nominated at AfD; notified The Irish Phantom (talk · contribs) 14:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted via PROD for failing WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. This still looks to be a concern as the Faroese league and the second tiers of Norway (and below) are not considered to be fully professional leagues. The best sources that I could find were this, this and this paywalled piece. The paywalled one is probably the only one that even comes close to discussing this player in depth but, putting what I can through a translator, barely extends beyond being a transfer rumour piece, essentially.
- Witney and District League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 12:21, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This league plays below level 11, which is the lowest point at which the English football league system is defined, so has no inherent notability as there is strong consensus that sub-county feeder leagues need to pass WP:GNG. Internet coverage is very weak and consists mainly of trivial mentions in the Oxford Mail where it is not even the subject of the article, for example here and here. Google Books has two hits here and here, which are both passing mentions. A search of British newspapers has a fair few hits but a close analysis of the first few pages shows that we really just have a column of the Witney Gazette that publishes the results with brief comments and, at best, the occasional small portion of a column in the Oxford Chronicle and scant coverage in other local papers.I would say that this league is similar to the 20 or so deleted last year for the same concerns and doesn't warrant an article in a general encyclopaedia and would be more suited to a non-league fan site or similar.
- Georgi Dimitrov (footballer, born 1992): nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 13:47, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Only just scrapes a pass of WP:NFOOTBALL with one recorded appearance. The one non-database source in the article is only a passing mention, see the translated version. During my WP:BEFORE search, I found one match report that provides a bit more than a trivial mention, a brief mention and another passing mention. This is not the significant coverage in multiple sources required to pass WP:GNG and there is strong consensus that footballers that only trivially pass NFOOTBALL should be required to meet GNG.
- Norfolk Combined Youth Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Browno01 (talk · contribs) 17:13, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This, unfortunately, looks like another non-notable league. It only gets trivial, local coverage and is often not the main subject of the article. For example, it is briefly mentioned in this Dereham Times piece and also in this one. It gets a mention in the Eastern Daily Press as some games were called off due to COVID and gets another insignificant mention in the North Norfolk News. I can't see any reasonable interpretation of WP:GNG giving this a pass.
- Junior Jnr: nominated at AfD; notified ErnesonAsante (talk · contribs) 14:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD but no reason given. Concern was I'm not convinced that the sourcing is from reliable, independent sources and I'm not seeing anything to suggest a WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG pass in a search.
- MotionNews: nominated at AfD; notified ErnesonAsante (talk · contribs) 14:47, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Creditkart Fincom: nominated at AfD; notified 261asourabh (talk · contribs) 17:13, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD contested by IP address. No reason given. Initial concern was This is falling significantly short on WP:NCORP; the company's own press releases do not establish notability, especially when they are simply just rehashings of each other and posted in identical form across various websites of dubious notability.Also worth noting that a WP:BEFORE search comes up with nothing better. The coverage does not pass the process outlined at WP:SIRS.
- List of Geometry Dash levels: nominated at AfD; notified Dr Salvus (talk · contribs) 18:43, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The only sources that I can find covering this are YouTube videos, other Wikis, forums and Reddit, none of which are WP:RS. I would even oppose a merge to Geometry Dash as none of the material is reliably sourced and, correct me if I'm wrong, but an exhaustive listing of levels available in a game isn't something that we generally have; I've looked at a number of GA and FA articles on video games and can't see anything similar featuring in any articles, implying that it's established within the Wikipedia community not to have such things. Seems to border on violating the WP:GAMEGUIDE part of WP:NOT.
- Neus Motoso: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 21:56, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL being met. Searches of Nieves Motoso and Neus Motoso yield little coverage in Spanish sources. The best sources found were an announcement about renewing a contract, a name check along with several other players and an announcement about being released by Levante.
- Jafar Najafi: nominated at AfD; notified Pournia (talk · contribs) 22:48, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Bahar Kol: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:50, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Playing 30 mins in a Champions League qualifier against Minsk is probably about as close as she ever got to meeting WP:NFOOTBALL. I also believe that Kol fails WP:GNG. I found nothing better than what was already provided in the article in a WP:BEFORE search. Source analysis to follow below.
- Sister Location Error: nominated at AfD; notified Devinks10 (talk · contribs) 20:49, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE applies here. I could not find any independent sources covering this topic to establish notability.
- Stuart Bousfield: nominated at AfD; notified JRRobinson (talk · contribs) 22:43, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This player doesn't seem notable to me. Contested PROD by article creator with comment Has played in a major, he's notable enough.The best two sources that I could find were name checks here and here. In terms of darts achievements, he has never won a title, never achieved a nine darter and only played in a preliminary round of a major. Most importantly, he doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG.
- Andy Cornwall: nominated at AfD; notified JRRobinson (talk · contribs) 22:55, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything that even comes close to passing WP:GNG. He owns his own darts company but he doesn't derive any notability from that. His career is not that significant that we need to have an article on him. He has played in the preliminary round of a major once but never got beyond that.
- Darren Whittingham: nominated at AfD; notified JRRobinson (talk · contribs) 22:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Short pieces in the local paper like this one do not amount to passing WP:GNG. According to Mastercaller, he has not even competed in the preliminary rounds of a major tournament, let alone the main draw. Far from being an elite darts player.
- Paddy Meaney: nominated at AfD; notified JRRobinson (talk · contribs) 23:08, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I could not find any in-depth coverage of this player that would allow us to expand this biography beyond its current form. He does not appear to pass WP:GNG. In addition, his achievements in darts do not put him along the elite players that would warrant an article based on importance. He has only once been involved at any stage of a Major and, on that one occasion, was eliminated in the preliminaries.
- Carmine Carbone(Founder of Garden Foods): nominated at AfD; notified VinnyB74794779 (talk · contribs) 23:31, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This article has been deleted several times this week under all sorts of different names. It has also been sent to draft a couple of times but tendentiously moved back so I don't believe that continual draftifying is an appropriate solution. My searches are not finding anything to suggest that Carbone was notable enough for an article. This is his obituary which is the only thing that comes close to being a source. As he very recently passed away, I suspect these attempts are the efforts of a relative to create an article as a memorial, unfortunately WP:NOTMEMORIAL applies.
- Naciye Kara: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 09:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was Only capped at U17 level so fails WP:NFOOTBALL and the best source found in a WP:BEFORE search was this so there is nothing to show a passing of WP:GNG.The article was then overhauled and the PROD removed but there are still no sources that establish notability through GNG. Full source analysis to follow.
- Richard Derrick: nominated at AfD; notified 12.145.129.201 (talk · contribs) 10:18, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm concerned that Derrick doesn't appear to be notable enough to have an article. The sourcing issues are similar to those at related articles Crane (musician) and Box-o-Plenty Records, both also up for deletion. I found this blog post but little else really about him. Most of the article appears to have been written by Derrick himself so there are WP:COI and WP:V issues present.
- P.Priime: nominated at AfD; notified Iamlait (talk · contribs) 13:11, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined multiple times at Draft:P.Priime and this version is no improvement on those declined versions. There is nothing here that demonstrates a passing of WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE. There is strong consensus that passing mentions and a couple of Q&As, generally, are not enough to meet GNG.
- KFM Records: nominated at AfD; notified Themagnificents (talk · contribs) 20:34, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A record label that does not appear to be one of the more influential or important indie record labels, therefore not passing WP:NMUSIC. A WP:BEFORE search under "Knife Fighting Monkeys" and "KFM Records" yields little meaningful coverage and certainly not enough to pass WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. No obvious alternative to deletion either.
- Sofia Krakhmaleva: nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 21:21, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was A BLP on a youth-level handball player with no assertion or evidence of notability. The sources in the article either don't mention her at all or contain just the bare minimum database info such as name, DOB, nationality etc. My WP:BEFORE search only comes up with passing mentions or more bare minimum database entries. There is nothing to suggest a passing of WP:SPORTCRIT (youth level sports is not generally considered 'the highest level' and she has not competed at the equivalent of these championships at the senior level) nor is there any realistic chance of passing WP:GNG.Contested with she plays in the highest Russian league which is the second best league in the world [7]There is no SNG for handball so players are expected to meet GNG. The only source that I could find on her was this which is a brief post on her club's own website so therefore does not qualify as an independent source (see WP:IS and, therefore, does not confer notability. Players could get presumed notability through SPORTCRIT if they have played in a major international competition at the highest level, but Krakhmaleva hasn't played in the European Championship, nor the World Championship nor the Olympics.
- Ekaterina Skivko: nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 22:44, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: My primary concern is that the subject does not meet WP:GNG. In my search, the only article I found that was more than a passing mention was this, which does little to establish notability. Players could get presumed notability through WP:SPORTCRIT if they have played in a major international competition at the highest level, but Skivko hasn't played in the European Championship, nor the World Championship nor the Olympics. There is no evidence that she is a significantly notable figure within handball. According to her stats here and this article, she seems to be playing for the reserve team a lot lately so isn't even a hugely notable player at domestic level let alone international level.

- Reason: The company claims to be a multi-national company with subsidiaries in the US and Spain, which would certainly make it significant. The article is, however, unsourced and searching the Macedonian name comes up with zilch. Despite the massive claim of significance, I can't see any evidence of any coverage that addresses this company directly and in detail, therefore, I believe that it does not meet WP:NCORP.
- Jordan McKechnie: nominated at AfD; notified PaulBand01 (talk · contribs) 18:29, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has possibly played less than one minute of football at the professional level to scrape a passing of WP:NFOOTBALL. Conducting a WP:BEFORE search, I can find little evidence to support WP:GNG. The best source was this match report. There is clear consensus that passing GNG is more important in such cases as this.
- District FM: nominated at AfD; notified Innocentuzoma (talk · contribs) 17:04, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article is cited only to its own press releases; a WP:BEFORE search finds only other press releases like this and this, none of which appear to be written by professional journalists and are all thinly-veiled press releases. Fails WP:GNG and the creator has ignored at least 4 warnings about COI/UPE.
- Ceren Akkaya: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Falling short on both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Sources are reliable but do not provide any significant coverage of the subject. Nothing better found during a WP:BEFORE search. Full source analysis to follow.
- 2016–17 Mersin İdmanyurdu season: nominated at AfD; notified Red devil 41 (talk · contribs) 19:30, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was a contested PROD a few years back as it was claimed that this season passes GNG.I think that this is a very similar case to 2007–08 Mersin İdmanyurdu season's AfD, where there was a clear delete consensus. None of the sources in the article establish notability as the article is almost entirely sourced to the Turkish FA website, which provides bare minimum stats reporting only and no WP:SIGCOV. This league is second tier and not in a professional league so does not gain any presumed notability through WP:NSEASONS. Searching for match reports, I found this and this, which are both typical of the low depth of coverage that this level of football seems to receive. I can't see how this meets our inclusion criteria for seasons.
- Sandra Idubor: nominated at AfD; notified Innocentuzoma (talk · contribs) 19:55, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN as she does not have any notable accolades, nor have any of her works charted anywhere nor is she regarded as significant in her field. She also does not meet WP:NACTOR as she has not starred in multiple notable productions. She also does not meet WP:GNG as she does not have significant coverage in reliable published sources. Nothing found in a WP:BEFORE search shows notability.The sources cited in the article are promotional press releases and two of them are rehashings of each other. Literally just copy and paste.

- Riya Manoj: nominated at AfD; notified Tamilerdenmark (talk · contribs) 13:27, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been deleted via BLP PROD and speedy deletion recently (A7 and G5). Still appears to be a non-notable child actress. I can confirm that she is in Abhiyum Naanum listed as supporting cast. I can confirm that she is in Senthoora Poove as well but no indication that the role is a major one. I'm not finding enough evidence of a WP:GNG pass in a WP:BEFORE search either, still.
- Quartz (musician): nominated at AfD; notified Owenjones111 (talk · contribs) 15:01, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant coverage about this DJ in reliable, independent sources. Wikipedia is not a Discogs mirror. Complete lack of online presence, which is unusual for an internet-era DJ.
- Nadezhda Kolesnikova (handballer): nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 19:04, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: My primary concern is that the subject does not meet WP:GNG at this moment in time. In my search, the only sources I could find were ones of the calibre of this one, which does little to establish notability. I have also looked through every news story here and found no detailed coverage of her as an individual either. Invariably, she is always just mentioned as part of a group of players. There is a lack of a focus on her specifically.Players could get presumed notability through WP:SPORTCRIT if they have played in a major international competition at the highest level, but Kolesnikova hasn't played in the European Championship, nor the World Championship nor the Olympics. There is no evidence that she is a significantly notable figure within handball. Maybe she will rise to that level in a few years but she also might not.
- Hope Valley Amateur League: nominated at AfD; notified Kivo (talk · contribs) 20:04, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The Premier Division sits at the 14th level of English football, so is significantly below the notable level. It has had very, very occasional coverage in the Derbyshire Times and the Buxton Advertiser (a search of both newspapers' websites will show you that this coverage is not regular nor in any great depth when it is covered). Since the league has been around for a while, I did a search of the newspaper archives but this did not yield any WP:SIGCOV whatsoever. All we can see there are occasional reporting on AGMs or just a brief results round-up; in most cases, this took up a mere fraction of a column in the local paper. This league seems no more notable than the several deleted recently.
- Bence Varga: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 11:40, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A footballer that has played either 9 minutes or 8 minutes of professional football depending on whether you trust HLSZ or Soccerway more. In any case, this is a very thin passing of WP:NFOOTBALL. A Hungarian search as well as Google searches using both Hungarian name order and Western name order did not yield any useful coverage about this particular player, so I see no evidence that WP:GNG is met. Strong consensus now that such thin passes of NFOOTBALL are not enough when GNG is failed.
- Anna Laue: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 12:09, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances that would qualify her for notability under WP:NFOOTBALL according to DFB, World Football and Soccerway. In addition, the coverage does not seem enough for WP:GNG; the best sources found were a brief Q&A in a regional newspaper, a match report in another regional newspaper and a brief quote here.
- Plavelil Shanku Pillai Memorial Upper Primary School: nominated at AfD; notified Giriprasanth (talk · contribs) 15:43, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to fail WP:NORG and WP:GNG; the former requires the school to be the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. During my WP:BEFORE search I could not find any evidence that this school has ever received this kind of coverage and most of the search results were just Wikipedia mirrors. I could not even find trivial news stories that most schools get like, local papers promoting the school fête or notices of being closed due to COVID.
- Rahat Public Junior High School: nominated at AfD; notified Mr. Faiyaz Khalid (talk · contribs) 16:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to find any coverage that would establish notability through WP:GNG or WP:NORG. The best sources that I can find are the bare minimum descriptions provided in school directories such as Edugorilla and Schools.org.in. From the sources available, there is nothing to suggest that this school is notable, historic or significant. It is a recently-founded and very small school that has apparently never been subject to any decent media coverage.
- Uthhan: nominated at AfD; notified VENKATESHafx (talk · contribs) 12:30, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm concerned that this might not pass WP:NORG, in particular WP:ORGCRIT, which requires significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. In a WP:BEFORE search, I found two sources, Patna Daily and Techstory where there is an actual author and it isn't just a blatant press release written by Utthan themselves. I'm still not convinced that this meets the high bar at NORG and even the two links above look like they might be promotional/sponsored.
- Jessica Seaman: nominated at AfD; notified Camw (talk · contribs) 19:10, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: In a WP:BEFORE search, I was unable to find multiple sources addressing Seaman directly and with an appropriate level of depth. She is mentioned a lot in TWG but it's just in squad listings. I also found a match report and another match report, neither of which provide any depth either. Also, this Telegraph article only mentions her once too. Although she had a good number of appearances, these were often as a late substitute, which might explain why coverage is lacking. Aside from concerns around WP:GNG, she also does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL.
- Giosue Bellagambi: nominated at AfD; notified Nanseera Tracey (talk · contribs) 19:44, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Has never played in a game between two clubs playing in a league listed at WP:FPL, failing WP:NFOOTBALL. Has never been the subject of detailed non-trivial coverage from multiple reliable sources, failing WP:GNG.Source analysis to follow.
- Teja Tanikella: nominated at AfD; notified Tanikella teja (talk · contribs) 09:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An apparent autobiography on a one-time actor who fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. The closest he gets to passing GNG is the fairly routine coverage of his wedding, already cited in the article. Nothing better found in a WP:BEFORE search. The one film that he starred in seems barely notable itself.
- Poramut Krongborisut: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 10:29, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I am aware that he technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL due to playing 16 minutes of professional football a few years back. Searching his name in Thai yields only very trivial coverage in squad listings and match reports. WP:GNG requires significant coverage in reliable sources that we can build a biography from. Given that the player is 35, so in the twilight of his career and unlikely to build on his 16 minutes, I believe that deletion should be considered as per long-standing consensus on these cases. See also this AfD and this one.
- Sean Kerr: nominated at AfD; notified Corma81 (talk · contribs) 23:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: He just about meets WP:NFOOTBALL because of 16 mins of professional football over two matches about 14 years ago. He then played 5 games in the fourth tier of Scotland then seemingly disappeared. I can find nothing to suggest a passing of WP:GNG. Growing consensus now that players that barely pass NFOOTBALL need to meet GNG.
- 2013–14 Queen's Park F.C. season: nominated at AfD; notified 98AL (talk · contribs) 12:49, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. No evidence of notability; amateur club playing in a fourth tier semi-pro league. Stats article that does not meet WP:NSEASONS criteria for presumed notability and there is nothing remarkable enough about this season to suggest a WP:GNG pass either. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information nor is it a sports almanac.
- 2012–13 Stirling Albion F.C. season: nominated at AfD; notified Blethering Scot (talk · contribs) 18:15, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was Stats article that does not meet WP:NSEASONS criteria for presumed notability (at least two tiers below professional level) and there is nothing remarkable enough about this season to suggest a WP:GNG pass either. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information nor is it a sports almanac.Contested with Plenty sources to meet GNG. Remarkable isnt a criteria. As for NSeasons GNG More impoerantI don't agree that the sourcing provided shows GNG as they are all, without exception, bare minimum match reporting and transfer reporting, which is routine coverage that any season gets. I found this article which shows some depth of coverage but it's about the previous season. I can't find anything similar for 2012–13 and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate stats database.
- Liju Prabhakar: nominated at AfD; notified Darsana.vinod (talk · contribs) 19:26, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I am concerned that Prabhakar doesn't meet any of the 4 criteria at WP:CREATIVE; I don't think the Kerala State Film Award is enough to pass this on its own. Every single source cited is only a passing mention and the only other source that I could find in my search was this, which is also a passing mention. I am, therefore, concerned about WP:GNG as well.
- Information Technology Society of Sri Lanka: nominated at AfD; notified Patel99 (talk · contribs) 20:04, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined a few times at WP:AfC. Creator continues to create this article. WP:NORG failure still not addressed; brief quotes from the president do not amount to significant coverage even if in reliable sources. I could not find multiple sources addressing this organisation directly and in depth so notability is still not established. I suspect their may be some underlying promotional intent even though the article itself is written in a neutral tone.
- Alicia González: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 22:22, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Nothing in my searches to suggest that this player passes WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. The best source that I could find was this routine announcement in Vavel.
- Mukhtar Abayomi Sanusi: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 12:23, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article was draftified due to not yet passing WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL. Article creator contested this by moving the article back. I have searched both with and without the middle name and can't find any WP:SIGCOV.
- Shaquille Momad Nangy: nominated at AfD; notified InfoMoznow (talk · contribs) 17:37, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was created earlier today and draftified soon after. The draft was then submitted and declined as there is no evidence of the subject meeting WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. The Mozambique league is not professional, it doesn't look like he plays for the national team and I can't find any coverage on him outside of Facebook and the database websites already cited.
- Divyansh Mishra: nominated at AfD; notified Kanewiki01 (talk · contribs) 09:56, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a borderline WP:A7. His sole claim to notability is featuring in one episode of a TV show so clearly fails WP:NACTOR. I can't find any source giving him more than just a passing mention so WP:GNG is not met. It was declined at draft but the author moved it over with the comment I have provided all the verified sources that tells the truth of the biography and the notability.The draft currently redirects to this article so I had no option to draftify again therefore I am taking this to AfD.
- Umapathy Films: nominated at AfD; notified Harshel Quill (talk · contribs) 10:24, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything to suggest that this passes WP:NCORP; I have checked the references provided at Draft:Umapathy Films, all of which are just passing mentions and done a WP:BEFORE search and found nothing better. This fails on WP:CORPDEPTH because I could not find any references providing a overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the company.

[edit]- Guest Unwanted: nominated at AfD; notified ParvinderWraich (talk · contribs) 14:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Mid-Herts Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 18:28, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to the related leagues North & Mid-Herts League and North Herts League, both of which were deleted as non-notable. I found a recent passing mention in the Herts Advertiser. This was also effectively the only paper covering the league according to this newspaper search. In most instances, they just printed the results but there are a few cases where there is a small amount of analysis. I still don't think that it's enough for WP:GNG. The Beds and Herts Pictorial and Luton News very rarely covered and the coverage was always minimal.
- V4N5H: nominated at AfD; notified Vansh Bhardwaj (talk · contribs) 10:02, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst clearly more accomplished than most 15 year olds, V4N5H simply does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG. This is an autobiography on a remixer with no coverage in reliable, independent sources. Every source cited is self-published and therefore not reliable. Nothing better found in a search. Bhardwaj has put a lot of effort into his article but he is not notable enough (yet).
- Ayşenur Büyükciğer: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 11:14, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances that would qualify her for notability under WP:NFOOTBALL according to TFF, which also has no recorded appearances since Jan 2019, so it would appear that she has retired. Her youth caps do not confer notability and my searches are not digging up any WP:GNG coverage. A Turkish search yields mostly her own social media accounts and football statistics profiles. Digging further I can find her in a squad list on Haberler, an U19 squad list, another U19 squad list and another U19 squad list. The sources are reliable but the coverage lacks depth.
- 2021 Kelantan F.C. season: nominated at AfD; notified Galvoci01 (talk · contribs) 14:09, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Playing below a level that would give presumed notability under WP:NSEASONS and no indication of WP:GNG at this early stage; nothing has happened yet that would make a separate article for this season necessary and we generally don't have stand-alone articles for seasons at this level.
- Mamman Ibrahim Kolo: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 15:21, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was deleted earlier this year as Ibrahim Mamman and, while this incarnation does have slightly more content, the subject still fails WP:GNG. It looks unlikely that he passes WP:NFOOTBALL either since no databases have any appearances recorded for him. The only thing going for him is this article which makes a vague statement "Ibrahim Kolo, 24, initially joined Niger Tornadoes on loan in October 2015 and went on to make five appearances for the club in all competitions. However, the Tornadoes were not in the 2015 Nigeria Professional Football League but did join the league in 2016. It's not clear that any of these alleged five appearances took place in a fixture between two clubs playing in a league at WP:FPL. More importantly, I'm not seeing any GNG coverage and he is currently plying his trade in the 5th tier of Ukraine so seems unlikely that he will ever be notable.
- Bekey Mills: nominated at AfD; notified ErnesonAsante (talk · contribs) 17:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't believe that his award nominations are enough to pass WP:NMUSICIAN nor is winning the Graz African Pathfinders Award. The citations used are very brief press releases (e.g. "Bekey Mills is due to release xxx", which is not the sort of coverage that establishes notability) or, in some cases, coverage from non WP:RS. A lot of the coverage appears to be paid-for. Despite all this promotion, he has almost no views on any of his videos, nobody is listening to him on Spotify and he has very few followers on his social media accounts. A WP:BEFORE search did not yield anything better than the sources already presented.
- Franziska Bröckl: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 18:25, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: None of Bröckl's appearances qualify under WP:NFOOTBALL as it has long since been established that youth caps do not make you automatically notable. The best coverage that I could find were this Westfalen Blatt article and this NW article, neither of which even come close to showing a passing of WP:GNG.
- Tiarn Powell: nominated at AfD; notified SuperJew (talk · contribs) 19:09, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD was added last year due to WP:NFOOTBALL failure and was removed with According to its article, this is the top-level national league. By insisting that it is not "professional", you are making the sexist argument that women can never be notable in this sport.While searching for coverage to see if Powell could pass WP:GNG, I did a search focused on Australian sources. The best that I could find were a trivial mention and quote in The Transcontinental and an article in The Sydney Daily Telegraph, which is a long quote from her but contains no actual significant coverage of Powell herself. The notability that GNG requires must come from other people writing about Powell. There is nothing in this article nor outside of it that establishes why Powell is notable.
- List of Overseas teams in the Round of 64 of the Coupe de France since 2015: nominated at AfD; notified Dr Salvus (talk · contribs) 20:44, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Kelvedon Hatch F.C.: nominated at AfD; notified Luke780 (talk · contribs) 21:54, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was previously deleted via PROD with the rationale Fails to meet generally accepted notability criteria for clubs, i.e. playing at Step 6 or above, or having played in the FA Cup/Vase. This concern remains valid.I also think that this fails WP:GNG. In recent times, it gets name checks in local papers, for example in this article. Searching through British newspaper archives gives nothing significant apart from the odd mention in results listings in the Chelmsford Chronicle. A book called Kelvedon Hatch, 1840 – 1920: A Guided Tour seems to make a reference to such a club; "The first mention of an official Kelvedon Hatch football team is from 1918, although it is believed there was a team before then." That's about all I could really find.
- Colchester and East Essex Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 12:19, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This league's premier division sits five levels below the notable level. This article in a local paper does have some coverage of the league but does concede that there is no info available about the league for at least 60 years out of its 100 year history. Searches of Brightlingsea Minor League, Brightlingsea and District Junior Football League, Colchester and East Essex League and Colchester and East Essex Football League are all not coming back with any significant results in newspaper archives.
- Lisa Josten: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 19:01, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Concerns around WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. No caps at any level and only a very occasional player at the top level; most of her career has been tier 2 or below. A German search brings up the usual database profile pages and routine coverage in match reports and transfer news. The only coverage outside of that is this brief announcement that she won player of the tournament in the SV Bökendorf tournament and then two very trivial mentions in NWZ here and here. I cannot see any significant coverage in reliable sources independent of Josten.
- Mother Tongue Records: nominated at AfD; notified DJ HEAVEN (talk · contribs) 19:58, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Neither the British nor the Italian record label of this name seem to be notable enough for an article. The Italian one seems to have slightly more sources available but both lack the depth of coverage from independent sources required to pass WP:NCORP or even WP:GNG. In addition, this label does not count as one of the more important indie labels so does not fit in with WP:NMUSIC; they've had a few artists that meet our notability standards but no indication that they were in any way a significant part of their history (in other words, the singles and albums released through this label were largely non-notable).
- Stine Holm: nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 18:16, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything to suggest that Holm can meet WP:GNG. There is no significant coverage in this article and I'm not finding anything better in searches. I found a transfer rumour, a transfer announcement and a brief announcement from her club about her leaving. This is WP:ROUTINE and does not count as significant in-depth coverage.Players could get presumed notability through WP:SPORTCRIT if they have played in a major international competition at the highest level, but Holm hasn't played in the European Championship, nor the World Championship nor the Olympics. There is no evidence that she is a significantly notable figure within handball.
- Ádám Hamar: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 18:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL with only 17 mins of football 7 years ago. A Hungarian search brings us a third tier football match report in a local paper, another brief match report and a transfer report. There is strong consensus that players that only pass NFOOTBALL by a few minutes need to meet WP:GNG.
- Seyed Morteza Sajjadi: nominated at AfD; notified Alimomo001 (talk · contribs) 19:04, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I have done a WP:BEFORE search and can't find any significant coverage and there is none in the article, so WP:GNG is likely failed. Youth appearances don't constitute a passing of WP:NFOOTBALL either.
- Ciaran Dickson: nominated at AfD; notified Johnelwaq (talk · contribs) 18:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was deleted about three months ago for failing WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL; this still applies despite what's written in the article. The Scottish Championship is not listed at WP:FPL so his 26 min appearance doesn't pass the guideline (see Soccerbase and Soccerway). In terms of coverage, I'm seeing a few hype pieces in Rangers News but nothing really in independent sources.
- 1984–85 Mersin İdmanyurdu season: nominated at AfD; notified Red devil 41 (talk · contribs) 18:29, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. There is no evidence that this particular season requires a stand-alone article. No significant coverage (i.e. more than just bare minimum squad listings and match results and stats) presented in any of the sources, so WP:GNG is not met, nor is there any real assertion of notability.
- Jessica Bade: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 19:22, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG; I have also checked the German Wikipedia article but there is only routine transfer coverage on there. Doing my own WP:BEFORE search in German yielded nothing better than another transfer announcement and an injury announcement which are both well short of the mark.
- René Rogalla: nominated at AfD; notified Almgerdeu (talk · contribs) 20:11, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Passing mentions in match reports do not add up to passing WP:GNG. I can find no evidence that this referee gets more than that. This article is more than a passing mention but it's published by the bank that he worked for for several years, so does not count towards GNG, which requires the significant coverage to come from reliable sources independent of the subject.
- Robert Sawtell: nominated at AfD; notified Almgerdeu (talk · contribs) 21:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Aslı Karataş: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 19:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Nothing in my searches suggests a passing of WP:GNG; this included a search centred on Turkish sources. The only non-database sources found were a very brief Hurriyet announcement and a name check in Haberler. No evidence of the depth of coverage required to pass GNG. The player appears to have retired many seasons ago so unlikely they will meet the guidelines any time soon either.
- 2002–03 UE Lleida season: nominated at AfD; notified Scaufape (talk · contribs) 22:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Third tier Spanish season with no evidence of notability; no indication of the significant coverage required to pass WP:GNG.
- 2006–07 UE Lleida season: nominated at AfD; notified Scaufape (talk · contribs) 22:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to 2019–20 Lleida Esportiu season; coverage lacks the depth required to pass WP:GNG and also violates WP:NOTSTATS as well as other elements of WP:NOT. Coverage of individual matches can be found on Tribuna, BD Futbol, Besoccer and Aupa Athletic. The problem is that none of these sources provide any in-depth analysis so do not amount to significant coverage.
- Drunknmunky: nominated at AfD; notified Eager336 (talk · contribs) 23:02, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A poorly sourced article on a company that does not appear to pass WP:NCORP. My particular concern is that there is no coverage that satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH, which states Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements. Sources cited in the article do not provide the level of analysis required for this company and a quick WP:BEFORE search yields little better. Clear WP:COI/WP:UPE involvement as well as 'random IPs' are continually removing deletion tags.
- SRAVANA T N: nominated at AfD; notified Mainowner (talk · contribs) 09:24, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has not starred in multiple notable productions nor does she meet any other criteria under WP:NACTOR. When searching, the best sources that I could find were this blog post and this tiny Sify article so I'm not seeing WP:GNG either.
- Leeds Red Triangle Invitation League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 19:11, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing anything significant in my searches. The only decent result in an online search is this Yorkshire Evening Post article, however, it's literally just a collection of photos so cannot qualify as WP:SIGCOV. Searching through books and ProQuest doesn't yield any in-depth coverage either. As always, we find the most when searching British newspaper archives but even this is almost entirely just results listings in local papers. No sign of passing WP:GNG and, at level 14, the league is below the level that makes it inherently notable.
- 2020 Chicago State Cougars men's soccer team: nominated at AfD; notified Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk · contribs) 22:37, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As per a related discussion at WT:FOOTY, I don't think that this particular team season meets WP:GNG. I also feel that it violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. My main concern is that this season lacks significant coverage from independent sources. This is not, in any way, a comment on college soccer seasons in general, just that this particular one isn't notable. There should be no prejudice against this being recreated if it does rise to a level of notability later on.
- Last of the Grads: nominated at AfD; notified LionsOfPowerInTheSky (talk · contribs) 23:11, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I initially requested WP:G5 deletion but realised that there have been edits by other users (good-faith editors) other than the creator. I'm still not completely satisfied that this film is notable. There is only one reference and while it is a decent one, I could not find anything else while searching. Everything else coming up just seems to be either self-published or just a rehashing of the Decider article. My understanding of WP:GNG and WP:NFILM is that there should be more than one decent source to justify an article. This might be WP:TOOSOON as maybe there will be clear notability after the film is actually released.

- Funda Payan: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 19:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Payan has never played in a game that would give a presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL and I'm not seeing any coverage with enough depth for WP:GNG. A Turkish search brings up nothing better than an U17 squad list, a friendly tournament squad list and another passing mention, this time in Habervan. There is clear consensus among the Wikipedia community that passing mentions in squad lists do not add up to passing GNG.
- Multiple Selfie: nominated at AfD; notified Stephen Cocjin (talk · contribs) 11:30, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any reliable sources discussing this topic. Fails not only WP:GNG but also WP:V potentially. I would oppose a merge or redirect unless someone can present reliable sources to support this topic. Searching up many of these terms in conjunction with 'selfie' brings up zero results.
- Katharina Leiding: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 13:08, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A footballer with a very brief career and no appearances that qualify under WP:NFOOTBALL (youth caps don't confer notability). I did a search focused on German sources; the best sources that came up were a very brief injury announcement, a passing mention and a routine under-20 article. RevierSport has the best coverage as they have a surgery announcement and a brief Q&A, the latter piece not having a declared author. On balance, I don't think WP:GNG is met here as the Q&A is the only source that isn't completely trivial and we don't consider every youth player that had a Q&A in some place to be notable.
- New Antique Records: nominated at AfD; notified Mrdjangola (talk · contribs) 17:03, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Completely fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP; I couldn't find any independent sources showing any coverage (let alone significant coverage). The 'releases' by this record label are nothing more than just remixes of songs that you can download off their website. Not one of the more important indie labels, fails WP:NMUSIC.This article has lasted 10 years but has zero notability.
- Gold Fish Bowl: nominated at AfD; notified Mrdjangola (talk · contribs) 17:11, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Traipsing Bloom: nominated at AfD; notified Newdjango81 (talk · contribs) 17:25, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails all 7 criteria of WP:NALBUM; no evidence of any awards or charting. The two 'independent reviews' cited are a blog post on the website of another record label and a user review on a cannabis website, both not WP:RS. The other two sources cited are the band's own record label and someone's Blogspot. My WP:BEFORE search only yielded self-published material like Spotify, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Amazon etc.
- Angel Headed Hip Hop: nominated at AfD; notified Mrdjangola (talk · contribs) 17:37, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another album created by an WP:SPA that doesn't meet any of the criteria under WP:NALBUM. I can't find any reliable sources to support the claim that this was released by Universal. The only 'source' I can find is this website which has 2 snippets of 'reviews' from news sources that don't appear to exist. It then tells us that we can find out more about the album on its Wikipedia page, which is a bit of a red flag in my opinion. It looks like a case of using Wikipedia as a platform for promotion of a non-notable album.
- The Moonlight Orchestra: nominated at AfD; notified Mrdjangola (talk · contribs) 17:47, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another article created by an WP:SPA; I can find no evidence that this band passes WP:NBAND or WP:GNG. The only reference that I can find about the band is this Q&A on a blog, which is definitely not WP:RS. The references in the article are rubbish; the EADT piece doesn't even mention this band once!!
- 2006 ELF Cup squads: nominated at AfD; notified Superlinus (talk · contribs) 11:16, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Squad listings for a minor one-off tournament; no sources cited and I can't see any reliable sources listing these squads anywhere. I've tried searching but am only really getting Wikipedia mirrors. Only one player (Vladimir Ivanchikhin) is notable so the list has no navigational purpose either. The only two FIFA nations that took part in this tournament sent their futsal squad instead of their football team and even Zanzibar only sent their U20s...I can't think of a good reason for actually keeping this article as it's just pure WP:OR and doesn't improve our encyclopaedia in any way.
- Tom Clayton (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified TheWikiEditor1234 (talk · contribs) 11:57, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Hasn't played a senior game yet according to Soccerway and World Football so does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Coverage not enough for WP:GNG; I can find a little bit of coverage on This is Anfield and Empire of the Kop but nothing more.
- Ben River: nominated at AfD; notified Mrdjangola (talk · contribs) 12:28, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted in 2013 as he was deemed non-notable back then. In my view, he still fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG even in 2021. There are a plethora of references and external links but none of them are enough to show a passing of GNG, for multiple reasons. I will summarise my views in a source assessment below. In my WP:BEFORE search using "River Styx", "Ben River" and "Hicham Bensassi" as well as using these names in conjunctions with other artists that he collaborated with and projects that he worked on, I only found one source not already cited. I will add this to the assessment table as #16.
- Abdul Arif Abdullah: nominated at AfD; notified Hasbi1991 (talk · contribs) 13:01, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: None of his alleged appearances would allow him to pass WP:NFOOTBALL as they were all for teams that were playing below the top tier of Malaysia and Thailand while he was playing for them. In my WP:BEFORE search, I found no coverage that would allow him to pass WP:GNG, just incidental match report coverage. The only football database that has an entry for him is the unreliable Transfermarkt, which has no appearances recorded for him anyway.
- Nikita Pavlenko: nominated at AfD; notified Sixday7 (talk · contribs) 13:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances that would allow him to meet WP:NFOOTBALL (the Uzbek league is not listed as a professional league at WP:FPL, semi-professional clubs are permitted in the top tier) according to Soccerway, GSA and Playmaker Stats. I also can't find anything that would allow him to pass WP:GNG, the best that I could find were passing mentions, like this Metro article and this Indosport article.
- Andrew Zeleno: nominated at AfD; notified Doitthebestyoucandoit (talk · contribs) 22:41, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO; a search did not yield any WP:RS covering him in depth and none cited in the article.Removed with comment I don't agree with deletion of the article. The guy is famous audio engineering teacher. Feedspot puts him on the second place in the world (cited). Almost 2 million views on youtube and 40,000 subscribers (cited). He is contributed to audio engineering field. Ukrainian gov awarded him (the company he was working for is cited). Also, he works with world famous software manufcturers like Solid State Logic, Izotope, Sonarworks (cited). He made a clip for famous game (cited).This comment fails to address the fact that none of the sources used are WP:RS (reliable sources).Source assessment to follow.
- Roselin Sonia Gomes: nominated at AfD; notified Shubhambairagiiii (talk · contribs) 11:40, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Her roles in Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki and Kundali Bhagya are not significant enough to constitute a passing of WP:NACTOR and the rest of the roles look like cameos at best. I can't find anything to suggest that her modelling career is notable. Sources cited as well as those found in a search are only routine announcements and press releases which do not add up to passing WP:GNG.
- Claudia Barea: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 18:35, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of significant coverage for Barea. She very briefly played for Valencia and Sevilla but has been playing at low levels since 2013. The best that I could find in Spanish sources were a transfer announcement and a routine announcement about being called up to an under-16 squad. I can't see anything near the depth required to pass WP:GNG.
- Başak Yerli: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 19:31, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: None of Yerli's appearances would give a presumption of notability through WP:NFOOTBALL and I'm not seeing anything close to WP:GNG either. A Turkish search yielded only database profile pages and there is no significant coverage cited in the article itself. I can't see any evidence that Yerli meets any guideline.
- Weder-Weder Lang 'Yan: nominated at AfD; notified Himynameselijah (talk · contribs) 12:20, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm struggling to find any sources for this film. There are two identical copies of this in draft, Draft:Weder-Weder Lang 'Yan and Draft:Weder Weder Lang 'Yan. The cast is full of notable actors but I can't find a single review or any analysis anywhere. Searching in Google Books, for example, has a few hits but none seem to be significant coverage of this film and many of the hits are unrelated. Other searches are coming up with websites where you can download the film but I can't find any WP:RS.In the article itself, we have the IMDb page and a news article which doesn't even mention this film once.I have a feeling that this film could be notable but it keeps getting shoved back into mainspace without any attempt to demonstrate notability so I see no harm in taking it to AfD to establish once and for all whether this is actually notable or not.
- Ignace Goris: nominated at AfD; notified Bring back Daz Sampson (talk · contribs) 13:16, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Alan Freeland: nominated at AfD; notified Jet2006 (talk · contribs) 13:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence that Freeland passes WP:GNG; nothing presented in the article, nothing found in my searches except this Daily Record article. According to his World Referee page, he has only officiated qualifiers, youth matches and two first round UEFA Cup games outside of domestic level, which might explain the lack of coverage. Being the fourth official in a Scottish Cup final doesn't make him automatically notable either. A Google Books search only came back with trivial, incidental coverage.
- Gary Hilland: nominated at AfD; notified Cdtims589 (talk · contribs) 13:56, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable official. According to World Football], he is usually an assistant referee. The only coverage that I can find on him is an article in The Sun and another in the Sunday Mail, both of which are just brief articles showing criticism of a refereeing decision. Nowhere near enough to show a passing of WP:GNG.
- Ann Helen Østervold: nominated at AfD; notified Geschichte (talk · contribs) 14:10, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No significant coverage located. More recently, there was a brief announcement in Aftenposten and another in Firda. A search of Norwegian newspaper archives yields nothing better. There is nothing that we can build a biography from.
- Aeonico: nominated at AfD; notified Bachspin (talk · contribs) 16:17, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This article has been created before and sent to draft. The creator creating this again in main space makes draftifying this again inappropriate. There is no evidence of notability found within the article or during a search. The relevant guideline here is WP:NCORP, which requires significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. This fails WP:ORGIND as I could not find any decent independent sources.
- Joel Isyaq: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 19:02, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances recorded on Playmaker Stats or on the unreliable Transfermarkt, the only two databases that seem to feature him, therefore failing WP:NFOOTBALL. The only coverage found, other than brief transfer announcements, were two articles on Sportflames here and here but there is no indication that this blog is reliable. He has zero coverage outside of that one website so I believe that WP:GNG is also not met.
- Ben Proctor: nominated at AfD; notified Fm4252018 (talk · contribs) 19:53, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was Fails WP:NFOOTBALL, WP:NRU and WP:GNG.This was removed without adequate explanation so taking it to AfD. He has never played at professional level in rugby union or football and has never received significant coverage from reliable sources.
- Dániel Kákonyi: nominated at AfD; notified Zanoni (talk · contribs) 15:24, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another one where there is some discrepancy over whether he has played that one top tier game or not. Soccerway has him down as playing 90 mins but HLSZ and MLSZ seem to disagree. He has, however, played in two league cup games so does manage to scrape a WP:NFOOTBALL pass.A Hungarian search comes up with nothing better than a brief quote on a football site and a transfer announcement. Everything else, I have discounted as they're just blog posts or database profiles. I'm not seeing WP:GNG being met.There is a growing consensus that a trivial passing of NFOOTBALL (in this case two confirmed, possibly three but the third being disputed somewhat) is insufficient when GNG is not satisfied.
- Wimbledon & District Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Saintlyred (talk · contribs) 18:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This league's top division sits 3 tiers below the agreed cut-off for notability for football leagues in England. It seems that even local papers are quite reluctant to cover this league in any detail. I have tried a number of search engines and also looked through Google Books and searched newspaper archives. For example, in newspaper archives, I have tried searching "Wimbledon District League", Wimbledon and District League", "Wimbledon and District Football League" and "Wimbledon & District Football League". Nothing better than occasional results listings in Norwood News. Looks like this fails WP:GNG.
- Samuel Lee Fudge: nominated at AfD; notified Samfudge38 (talk · contribs) 20:26, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Vanity article. Does not meet WP:NACTOR, WP:FILMMAKER or WP:GNG. Autobiographical article on a subject that has never starred in nor directed a notable film nor have they received any significant coverage from reliable, independent sources as per WP:RS.
- Zsolt Ábel: nominated at AfD; notified Krisztian Horvath (talk · contribs) 21:59, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer fails WP:NFOOTBALL with no professional appearances recorded at MLSZ or HLSZ.In my search, including one centred on Hungarian sources, I could only find a passing mention in a match report, so I believe that Ábel fails WP:GNG as well.
- Wan Mohammed Afiq: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 22:22, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has never played in a game between two clubs playing in a league listed at WP:FPL, therefore failing WP:NFOOTBALL. This footballer has not been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him, therefore failing WP:GNG.
- Mojamaveh-ye Mowtowr Hay Chah-e Rihan: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 09:01, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale was Not verified/ no reference/uknown place/it is not a villageI contested this as I saw that this village is at least alleged to have had a population at some point. Following further discussion at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion as well as the creator's talk page, I now realise the issue and that maybe I was wrong to obstruct deletion.The PROD was reapplied by User:Salome mi and User:Shahramrashidi after I had already contested it. This article is no longer eligible for PROD as I contested that. I hope that this discussion can establish once and for all whether this was ever a community and whether it meets WP:GEOLAND.
- Chah-e Shomareh-ye Seh: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 09:03, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale was Not verified/ no reference/uknown place/it is not a village and was placed by User:Shahramrashidi.I contested this as I saw that this village is at least alleged to have had a population at some point.

- Lachante Paul: nominated at AfD; notified Markjbodey (talk · contribs) 17:11, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Paul's 17 minutes against Lionesses in the cup don't count towards WP:NFOOTBALL nor do any of the Leicester appearances. Nothing logged for national team either.She gets routine coverage from Leicester's own website and very occasional passing mentions elsewhere. I can't see any WP:SIGCOV from any sources independent from Paul so I can't see how this article meets WP:GNG, sorry.
- Péter Kovács (footballer, born 2000): nominated at AfD; notified Waraka Saki (talk · contribs) 17:50, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Soccerway and World Football (both referenced in the article) have no appearances listed that would qualify him under WP:NFOOTBALL. This is supported by HLSZ and MLSZ, who both keep exhaustive records of such things.A WP:BEFORE search was tricky as Kovács Péter is a ludicrously common name in Hungary (for an illustration of this, see how many are registered on MLSZ). In my searches, I can only find passing mentions in match reports like this so I believe that WP:GNG is not met.
- Mohamed Sheikh Bablu: nominated at AfD; notified Waraka Saki (talk · contribs) 18:39, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence to suggest that he meets our notability criteria. He has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL so does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL; he also has not played in an international fixture (being called up is not sufficient on its own). National Football Teams does not list him at all.Searching his name "মোহাম্মদ শেখ বাবলু" only seems to bring up one source, which is just a routine announcement anyway. No evidence that WP:GNG is met.
- Grinnin' Records: nominated at AfD; notified Ktmuk (talk · contribs) 21:53, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG; I couldn't find even one decent, independent source covering this record label. Aside from that, it also hasn't got even a slim chance of passing WP:NMUSIC either. The article creator edited Shaheen Jafargholi to show that he released an acoustic album through this label; I can't find a source to verify this in any case but, even if it is true, it still doesn't make this an important or notable record label. Certainly not one that should have an article in a general encyclopaedia. Wikipedia is not a company directory. We should only cover topics that are clearly demonstrated to be notable.
- Cansel Gözüaçık: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 17:25, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Gözüaçık meets neither our agreed notability guidelines for footballers (WP:NFOOTBALL) nor general biographical notability guidelines. A WP:BEFORE search focused on Turkish sources yielded nothing better than database profile pages, no significant coverage; no evidence of meeting WP:GNG, which is the bare minimum requirement.Source assessment to follow below.
- Mirja Dorny: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 18:03, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL and I'm not seeing enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG.While searching "Mirja Dorny", I found an article about co-operatives with a brief comment from her but nothing more. Searches of "Mirja Kothe" bring up a lot of Fansoccer match reports, none of which contain significant coverage, and this routine announcement about staying at a third tier club and another article about her playing for Harpen, with two brief quotes.
- Adel Rahman: nominated at AfD; notified Art&football (talk · contribs) 21:43, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The claim of 4 caps for Pakistan, which is the sole claim to notability, is not supported by any reliable sources. Attending a training camp is not enough. No evidence of caps on Soccerway, GSA and National Football Teams. For NFT, you can clearly see that no Adel Rahman has represented Pakistan since 2018. Every game is documented and so is every cap.A WP:BEFORE search didn't yield WP:GNG coverage.
- Vir Bhadra Yumnam: nominated at AfD; notified 2409:4066:29D:E56A:64AB:BA7A:AA5B:4650 (talk · contribs) 14:33, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. No reason offered. Moved over from draftspace by User:Virbhadrayumnam after being declined by the reviewer (interesting that the username matches the name of the article's subject!).Does not meet any criteria set at WP:FILMMAKER and has not been involved in any notable productions. Fails WP:GNG; couldn't even find one example of significant coverage.
- Fazrul Amir: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 18:33, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted 3 months ago due to WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL failure. These concerns still remain. This footballer still hasn't played in a league listed at WP:FPL nor is there any significant coverage. Sources outside of the ones in the article are just brief mentions in match reports like Goal, NST and Kosmo which is far from WP:SIGCOV.
- Lazar Aizenpreisz: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 19:10, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not a notable footballer. He played 6 mins of professional football back in 2017 but his career since then has been at very low levels and no databases show any sign of a career that has any reasonable chance of getting back to professional level. OEFB has him playing in Landesliga Burgenland last year which is way, way below professional level. Playmaker Stats, MLSZ and GSA also have very little about him.Searches, including a Hungarian search, yielded zero significant coverage so WP:GNG is not met. 6 mins of WP:NFOOTBALL is not enough to ignore this concern, in my view.
- Ibrahim Aziz (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 19:42, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Appearances for Harimau Muda B (sourced) and UiTM (unsourced) wouldn't qualify him for WP:NFOOTBALL as he was not playing in a league listed at WP:FPL. Soccerway also has one substitute appearance in the national cup but that was against a third tier side, so also doesn't count.I have also checked Soccerpunter, Football Selangor and Football Critic, none of which have any appearances. My searches did not yield any significant coverage, nor does his career give any indication that significant coverage would be likely. No evidence of WP:GNG.
- Shafiq Azman: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 20:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer has played 1 min of professional football to scrape a passing of WP:NFOOTBALL. Also shown at GSA and Soccerway. I found no evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG in a WP:BEFORE search.There is clear consensus at over 100 similar AfDs that passing NFOOTBALL by a matter of a few minutes is insufficient when GNG is failed comprehensively.
- Ghosh Sultanpur Primary School: nominated at AfD; notified TryingToDo (talk · contribs) 18:00, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern was Does not pass WP:NORG; I was not able to find any independent, secondary sources addressing this primary school directly and in significant detail.Challenged with reason The article have a link from govt website so this article should be in wikipedia. It should not be deletedWebsitegovt websiteThese sources show that this primary school exists but it does not show anything near the level of sourcing required to pass NORG. It's not even enough to pass WP:GNG. This fails on WP:ORGDEPTH, which requires that Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization.
- Mohd Shahrul Chankui: nominated at AfD; notified Tuahderhaka (talk · contribs) 22:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Simply does not meet any inclusion guideline. Sabah FA were not playing in a league listed at WP:FPL when he allegedly made 6 appearances for them. DYS F.C. were at least two tiers below professional level during his spell there. No indication of playing for any other clubs, therefore no indication of passing WP:NFOOTBALL.The article has no decent sources and a Malaysian search yielded nothing so I can't see how WP:GNG is satisfied.
- Ronald Dennis: nominated at AfD; notified Emelkroul (talk · contribs) 22:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was previously BLP PRODed by User:Sir Sputnik and User:Johnpacklambert but contested both times. Still zero indication that this footballer is actually notable. Digging through databases, I have found that Soccerway has him down appearing as a substitute on one occasion but with no other appearances. Soccerpunter has nothing. Tribuna has one appearance.The only news source that I can find is this one trivial mention in The Borneo Post. There is no evidence that this footballer meets WP:GNG and there is consensus in well over 100 recent AfDs that a trivial passing of NFOOTBALL is insufficient when GNG is not met.
- Ellie Raymond: nominated at AfD; notified Timsdad (talk · contribs) 00:03, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: My WP:BEFORE search only found one even remotely decent source, which was this post in Her Canberra. I could not find anything close to the significant coverage required to pass WP:GNG.
- Do or Die Entertainment: nominated at AfD; notified WheelHelms WS (talk · contribs) 18:07, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This company does not satisfy WP:NCORP; every source that I can find is a rehashing of the exact same press release. The depth of coverage in these press releases do not satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH and this type of sourcing is generally frowned upon, see WP:ORGIND. This recent startup does not yet seem to meet our guidelines for inclusion.
- Charlotte Fleming: nominated at AfD; notified Blakemills00 (talk · contribs) 18:59, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fleming has played 27 mins in a second-tier league not listed at WP:FPL and has played in 2 cup games against second-tier sides, therefore she does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL.I found two routine transfer announcements, one on FA WSL and another on She Kicks. This is not the level of coverage required to pass WP:GNG.
- 2012 Summer of Champions' Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Andrei Ţiganov (talk · contribs) 23:23, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Procedural AfD. User:ItsKesha has PRODed the article twice and tagged it as WP:A7 twice.The article is about a one-off pre-season friendly match. The best sources that I can find on the match are Digisport and Goal. The ESPN source in the article is actually very brief.I am neutral for now; I can see both sides of the argument.
- Karen Moreira: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 13:01, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article has lasted 10 years but I can't find any evidence of notability at all. The Marca source cited is just a passing mention. The only other coverage that I have found is her name appearing in two beach football squad lists here and here. Nothing even close to WP:GNG coverage.
- Ivelin Aladzhov: nominated at AfD; notified Dfotev (talk · contribs) 14:27, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer's sole claim to notability is playing one game of football, which was itself an inconsequential league game at the end of the season. Aside from that, he played in two cup games against lower tier sides so he has only one appearance that is within the WP:NFOOTBALL threshold. His subsequent career has been spent mostly in the amateur third and fourth tiers of Bulgaria.I checked the Bulgarian Wikipedia and did a Bulgarian search among other searches and found no significant coverage. Coverage consists entirely of passing mentions in match reports (e.g. this) or just appearing in a squad list (e.g. this).There is strong consensus that squad lists and match report mentions don't count towards WP:GNG and clear consensus that one game of football is insufficient when GNG is failed.
- Ultimate Soccer League: nominated at AfD; notified Crisgarcia10 (talk · contribs) 14:53, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of actual notability for this short-lived local semi-pro indoor soccer league. The refs are both dead links but can be accessed here and here, none of which show significant coverage.No relevant hits on Google. ProQuest search only comes up with hits about a women's college league of the same name which is clearly unrelated...
- South West Challenge Cup: nominated at AfD; notified BlackthornStand (talk · contribs) 18:26, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This pre-season tournament got some minor coverage in the North Devon press but I'm seeing very little coverage elsewhere. I found some results in the North Devon Gazette but nothing in a general British newspaper search. I found two mentions on the BBC website but both are trivial [8] [9].In my opinion, if pre-season tournaments are to pass WP:GNG, they should at least get some national level coverage or at least interest outside the local district.
- 2009 Thaghr al-Iraq Championship: nominated at AfD; notified Mr. Port (talk · contribs) 18:43, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Arabic is not a language that I am proficient in so a WP:BEFORE search is admittedly difficult. I am nominating this article for deletion because one-off pre-season tournaments are almost always non-notable. The article itself does not contain any indication of importance or significance for this tournament.The matches themselves are referenced to forum posts and neither of the two references used in the article show significant coverage. I therefore believe that this subject fails WP:GNG and, therefore, does not meet any notability guideline.
- Mutahir Showkat: nominated at AfD; notified Nurupa (talk · contribs) 19:01, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS; subject of the article badly fails WP:GNG. This article is nothing more than an extension of his marketing campaign for his two books. Every reference linked is a thinly-veiled advert for his two books. The article has been deleted twice due to concerns around the sourcing and a quick look at Talk:Mutahir Showkat shows you how desperate Showkat is to have an article on here.
- PlayStation Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Ivonti10 (talk · contribs) 09:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of notability and nothing convincing found during a Bulgarian-language search. I found a BTV article and one on Darik News, both of which are fairly routine news coverage, nothing more significant than the usual coverage you would find for any pre-season friendly match.The Bulgarian Wikipedia article is also completely unsourced and there is no assertion of notability there.
- Central Warwickshire Youth Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Gr1226 (talk · contribs) 10:37, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Subcounty youth league. Despite the array of citations, none of them are actually independent of the organisation, so do not count towards WP:GNG. Google searches do return some passing mentions such as this in the Bromsgrove Standard and this article in the Redditch Standard. Going through all of the ProQuest results also yields similar trivial coverage in local papers. No relevant hits in a British newspaper search despite the league existing for over 50 years.
- Yusri Abas: nominated at AfD; notified Haziq99521 (talk · contribs) 11:41, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As per FlashScore and Soccerway, fails WP:NFOOTBALL as has never played in a game between two teams playing in a league listed at WP:FPL. The article itself makes no claim to ever playing in such a game.Searches of Malaysian news sources as well as Google News yielded no significant coverage so WP:GNG is not met.
- Gül Kaplan: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 13:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: None of Kaplan's appearances meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Most recently, Kaplan was recorded playing in the amateur third tier so it does not seem likely that she will ever meet that guideline.One source in the article contains more than a passing mention but none of it is third person coverage (just Kaplan speaking about herself) and it is very brief and not enough on its own. No coverage found in a Turkish search. Unlikely to pass WP:GNG.
- My Kung Fu: nominated at AfD; notified KBT~enwiki (talk · contribs) 19:51, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This company isn't notable enough; no evidence of notability from an organisation perspective; does not meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. In addition to the one passing mention in an independent source cited, I found a passing mention in BBC and one in Wales Online. I could not find any in-depth coverage.There is no evidence that this label was notable from a music perspective, so does not look to meet WP:NMUSIC. It had a few non-notable artists on its roster and three notable artists released one piece of work through the label (Cerys Matthews, Marissa Nadler and Richard James), however, it is clear to see that the albums/songs released were not themselves notable or significant enough to make this one of the more important indie labels.
- Charlotte Newsham: nominated at AfD; notified KyleLh7 (talk · contribs) 14:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Per Soccerway and Playmaker Stats, subject fails WP:NFOOTBALL as has never played in a match between two clubs playing in a WP:FPL nor has she received any senior caps for Scotland.Only one independent source cited, which is a brief transfer announcement. In a WP:BEFORE search, I couldn't find anything more than passing mentions in match reports, which do not confer notability. WP:GNG is not met.
- Vitezslav Jaros: nominated at AfD; notified Kilcock123 (talk · contribs) 14:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Draftified earlier this week but recreated in main space. Subject definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL but I suppose the debate is whether or not he passes WP:GNG. No WP:SIGCOV cited in the article and searches mostly come back with passing mentions and 'hype' articles on Liverpool-affiliated websites like This is Anfield and Rousing the Kop. Some coverage in The Irish Sun and Irish Mirror but I would argue that it's below the GNG level.No opposition to a 2nd draftification if that is the consensus from this.
- His name was Robeson: nominated at AfD; notified Nmnomen (talk · contribs) 22:49, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet any of the criteria within WP:NFILM and fails WP:GNG. Searches of "Его звали Робсон" and "His name was Robeson" yield no coverage in independent sources. The Russian Wikipedia article was deleted today because there was no evidence of notability. I would oppose a merge to Paul Robeson or Paul Robeson Jr. or Itzik Feffer as the film isn't notable enough even for that.
- Hamka Daud: nominated at AfD; notified Kona4c (talk · contribs) 23:12, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to the one database that lists him, he has only played in the second tier and, even then, has only played 4 times. Clear WP:NFOOTBALL failure.Searches are only coming back with passing mentions; no evidence that he meets WP:GNG. The article relies too much on Wikipedia as a reference as well.
- Syazuan Hazani: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 23:40, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway, GSA and Tribuna has only played 22 mins of professional football, so only just scrapes a WP:NFOOTBALL pass.Searches, including this Malaysian search, failed to uncover any significant coverage. Clear consensus that a trivial passing of NFOOTBALL is insufficient when WP:GNG is not met.
- Yuki Tanigawa: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 12:48, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted a few months back via PROD for failure of WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Nothing has changed; the player still fails both guidelines.
- Dylan Walker (musician): nominated at AfD; notified Nbecky (talk · contribs) 14:54, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to fail WP:NMUSICIAN, WP:GNG and WP:NTENNIS. The only remotely decent source cited is the Xttrawave Q&A, which does nothing to establish notability. No charting releases, no accolades, no significant influence within his genre. Tennis career seems to be junior level only.WP:BEFORE search only came up with namesakes, even within the field of music. Claims of popularity don't seem correct. He has 5 subscribers on YouTube and only one song on Spotify has more than 1k plays. No sign that he is 'one of the most upcoming artists in the UK'.
- Fran Jović: nominated at AfD; notified Peterburke69 (talk · contribs) 22:41, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: User:Lazargang1 has expressed a wish for all or part of the article to be deleted on its talk page. Officiating in the Europa League does not make him notable by default. The only guideline that referees pass or fail is WP:GNG or WP:BIO.There are pages and pages worth of passing mentions but I can't actually find any coverage going into any depth about him. There are plenty of routine announcements, basically saying 'Jović set to referee x vs y', for example Nacional and VL. Aside from that, we have a couple of articles criticising a refereeing decision, one of which being Jutarnji. I can't see any indication that this person is notable enough for an article in a general encyclopaedia.
- Sanat Sawant: nominated at AfD; notified San100902 (talk · contribs) 14:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contest PROD by IP user. Subject clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN; no songs or albums in the charts at any point, no significant accolades, no significant influence within field/genre, has no entries in any reputable encyclopaedias. Fails GNG as has zero coverage outside of his own press releases. This article was protected from creation last year as a pre-emptive measure due to persistent sockpuppetry relating to Sawant in draft space. This protection was recently lifted.
- Mohd Hazrul Shah Abdul Hakim: nominated at AfD; notified Fayzell (talk · contribs) 18:59, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No games recorded in a fully professional league on Tribuna, Mackolik, Soccerpunter or Soccerway. No assertion or evidence of passing WP:NFOOTBALL.I could not find any significant coverage of this player and none is cited in the article so I'm concerned that he fails WP:GNG.
- Efsane Nur Düzparmak: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 11:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL as U19 caps and Turkish league appearances do not confer notability. Sources in the article are all just passing mentions and none address the footballer directly and in depth.In a WP:BEFORE search using Turkish sources as well as Google searches, the only additional sources found were a passing mention in this Hurriyet news story and two mentions in squad lists here and here. Not enough for WP:GNG in my view. Given the low level that the player is currently playing at, I don't believe that there is a strong argument for future notability either.
- I am a Teacher: nominated at AfD; notified VertaxApolinariax (talk · contribs) 16:33, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any reviews nor any indication of meeting WP:GNG in searches relating to this film. It does not appear to meet any of the 8 inclusion criteria listed at WP:NFO. It has no independent sources at the moment and I can't see that any suitable replacement sources are available.Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? Happy to withdraw if suitable sources are located.
- Denbury Primary School: nominated at AfD; notified MickeyBubble265 (talk · contribs) 21:27, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:NORG here; in particular, WP:ORGDEPTH. I found a passing BBC mention, the Teignmouth Post had a story about new starters and then appears in a list of schools in Devon Live. No coverage outside of Ofsted and you need more than one source to pass NORG.
- Lyn Meyer: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 10:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Meyer has spent the majority of her career in the lower tiers, most recently in the 4th tier, the Oberliga for Eintracht Braunschweig. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL according to DFB, WF and Soccerway.Coverage found in searches is almost entirely trivial match report coverage. I found this in a local paper about her goals for Braunschweig, which contains a quote from her. Fansoccer and NRHZ mention her a few times but the coverage has no depth.
- David Johnny: nominated at AfD; notified Zan husni (talk · contribs) 11:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has never managed or played in a league listed at WP:FPL, therefore fails WP:NFOOTBALL. The only source that I can find that mentions him, is this Borneo Post article, which says that he is the new youth development officer at Sabah. Sabah is playing in the top tier but youth development officer is not a significant enough role to make him notable by default. More importantly, I can't see any evidence that Johnny passes WP:GNG.
- Steven Burstyn: nominated at AfD; notified Sascsting22 (talk · contribs) 11:47, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: At first glance, this looks to be a very well sourced article on a highly notable footballer but, upon closer inspection, cracks start to appear. He has played in the fourth tier of Sweden, which is three divisions below the professional level and likely amateur. The article then alleges that he has received offers from Icelandic third tier and Spanish fourth tier clubs before signing for a fourth tier American club, none of this indicative of WP:NFOOTBALL. The claims of being 'very close' to playing for The Philippines but falling short because of 'paperwork issues' are effectively unsourced. When we remove all of the Blogspot, Facebook, forum posts and other non-WP:RS, there are no effective references remaining. Searching Steve Burstyn and Steven Burstyn isn't coming back with anything decent. The only news story that I could find was a Fastbreak article about eating ice-cream. Fails WP:GNG as far as I can see.
- Fayez Al-Dhefiery: nominated at AfD; notified Lilianasri (talk · contribs) 11:14, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Neither the Kuwaiti league nor the Saudi 4th tier are listed at WP:FPL so does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL according to Kooora and Soccerway, both linked in the article. Arabic searches are only coming back with articles about someone completely unrelated. No football coverage coming up so I can't see that there is evidence of a WP:GNG pass.
- Talal Al-Ajami: nominated at AfD; notified Lilianasri (talk · contribs) 11:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to fail WP:NFOOTBALL as neither the Kuwaiti league nor the Saudi third tier are listed at WP:FPL. I did search National Football Teams to see if he has any caps for Kuwait but couldn't find anything there.Searches in Arabic do yield some coverage but nothing that appears to be significant. No indication of passing WP:GNG from looking at his Arabic Wikipedia article.
April 2021
[edit]- Khairul Azahar Eidros: nominated at AfD; notified Apizs 325 (talk · contribs) 18:33, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer has played 12 mins of professional football, which is a weak passing of WP:NFOOTBALL.A Malaysian search comes back with the usual bare minimum statistical database coverage and passing mentions like this Bharian article. There is a clear consensus within the Wikipedia community that WP:GNG takes priority in such cases and there is no clear evidence that Khairul passes GNG.
- Mohd June Azral Lalah: nominated at AfD; notified Zan husni (talk · contribs) 18:43, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced stub on a footballer that has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL; Sabah, Beverly and DYS were all playing outside the Super League when this footballer was playing for them; therefore, there is no claim to passing WP:NFOOTBALL. The article's one source is only a passing mention. Google searches and a Malaysian search do not come back with any relevant hits in WP:RS, therefore the subject does not appear to pass WP:GNG and should be considered for deletion.
- Wakefield and District Football Association League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 17:38, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This does not meet WP:FOOTYN criteria for presumed notability as this is a sub-county feeder league and none of its clubs are eligible for national cups. Such leagues are required to meet WP:GNG. Internet searches only yielded a passing mention in Telegraph & Argus.As ever, newspaper searches have the most promising results. For this league, however, it seems that it only had occasional results listings but little evidence of anything more. In my opinion, this is not WP:SIGCOV and does not meet WP:GNG.
- Lew Han Hung: nominated at AfD; notified TorresChelsea96 (talk · contribs) 17:52, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway, Soccerpunter and Tribuna, this player has only played one game of professional football back in 2011, constituting a very weak WP:NFOOTBALL pass. Aside from that, there is very little info about him. We don't even know his DOB.Searches, including a Malaysian one, come back with almost nothing. He is mentioned in a squad list, a transfer announcement (the source used in the article) and another squad list. This is not enough for WP:GNG and, per consensus, deletion should be considered since the SNG pass is fairly weak.
- Ibrahim Madaki: nominated at AfD; notified Avidgunner (talk · contribs) 18:07, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Maybe this is just because I'm fatigued but I've read the article twice and can't see what the actual claim to notability is. None of the teams that he has allegedly managed or played for have ever played in a professional league, so clearly WP:NFOOTBALL is failed. This article relies too much on this self-published and unreliable source. My WP:BEFORE search only came back with this passing mention in Sinar Harian, which is nowhere near enough to pass WP:GNG.The entire article seems to be a vanity piece and the article creator never made any edits that weren't directly related to Madaki. The Sinar Harian source proves that he exists but we need more for notability.
- Büşra Demirörs: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 22:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances that qualify for WP:NFOOTBALL found at TFF; recent seasons in the third tier give little confidence that the player will ever pass the SNG.My searches, including a search of Turkish sources, yielded no WP:SIGCOV. Only passing mentions in Haber 46, Akdeniz Manset and Gun Haber were found. No evidence that Demirörs meets WP:GNG, which is absolutely required for anyone that does not pass the SNG.
- María José Rocafull: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 19:47, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Rocafull does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL so the question is whether the footballer meets WP:GNG. I performed Google searches as well as Spanish searches of Maríajo Rocafull and María José Rocafull. This brought up loads of database profile pages and squad listings, neither of which provide any depth. The only source that provides more than a passing mention seems to be this Vavel team of the week. This isn't enough on its own.
- Dzulfadli Marajeh: nominated at AfD; notified Jieryuu (talk · contribs) 21:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to fail WP:NFOOTBALL as no appearances recorded on Playmaker Stats, Soccerway, Football Critic, Tribuna and GSA. It's possible that his 19 appearances, if they are even correct, happened while Sarawak were playing below professional level.Google searches as well as searches centred on Malaysian sources yield zero coverage, WP:GNG appears to be badly failed. Searching for "Dzulfadli Awang Marajeh" yields more hits but none of it is significant.
- Nasharizam Rashid: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 21:31, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Soccerway, Tribuna and FlashScore do not contain any Super League appearances, so there is no evidence of meeting WP:NFOOTBALL.Google searches and a Malaysian search yielded only passing mentions in The Sportivo, Bharian and The Red Warriors so no sign of WP:GNG.
- Laura Hoffmann: nominated at AfD; notified Noctrun (talk · contribs) 18:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A footballer that has spent most of her career in the amateur, regional divisions of Germany. None of her appearances meet WP:NFOOTBALL.Searching for sources, including using those in the German Wikipedia article, gave these as the three best sources; a transfer announcement in NW, another transfer announcement in RS and this article in a local paper. The last source is the only one that comes close to showing WP:SIGCOV but it isn't enough to pass WP:GNG, in my view.
- Abdul Qayyum (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 21:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer has an article because of a 3 minute cameo but I can't find any significant coverage of him. He is mentioned once in an article in the Star and a Bharian article, both of which are about the same subject. Neither article provides any depth.Unless WP:GNG can be clearly demonstrated, the borderline passing of WP:NFOOTBALL is not enough and there is a growing consensus among the Wikipedia community that GNG takes priority in cases similar to this one.
- Mohd Redzuan Nawi: nominated at AfD; notified Ibnusarimin (talk · contribs) 11:09, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article makes a claim of 2 appearances for Johor, which would give Redzuan Nawi presumed notability through WP:NFOOTBALL but there is no clear evidence of this anywhere. No such appearances recorded on Tribuna, GSA, Playmaker Stats and Soccerway, all of which have been tracking the Malaysian Super League since this player's career started.A Malaysian search did not yield any clear significant coverage in WP:RS but plenty of small mentions on social media and Blogspot. Google searches tend to bring back the same results but with a few match report mentions like this in The Star, BH, BH, Goal and Goal. I would argue that none of this is WP:GNG coverage.In conclusion, this footballer may or may not have 2 professional appearances (no indication of whether this was the entire match or just a few minutes at the end). In any case, I can't see GNG and there is a clear consensus that players with 1 or 2 appearances that do not pass GNG need to pass GNG, therefore, I would like to start a discussion.
- Mohd Farid Saibun: nominated at AfD; notified Zan husni (talk · contribs) 11:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of passing WP:NFOOTBALL; Sabah were in the 2nd tier for a lot of the 2000s and there is no indication that any of his alleged two appearances for them took place while they were in the Super League. Melaka United were playing in the third tier so those 10 appearances definitely don't count either. Farid Saibun is absent from all football database websites as far as I can tell.More importantly, a Malaysian search yields absolutely nothing. I found a passing mention in the Daily Express and another one. Both of these articles relate to a local football tournament, which, as far as I can tell, is very low level; possibly 4th, 5th or 6th tier of the Malaysian football league system. In any case, the coverage is very weak and not enough for WP:GNG and, at 33 years of age, no indication that he will ever play in the Super League and/or pass any guideline.
- Emily Henderson: nominated at AfD; notified SuperJew (talk · contribs) 13:41, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I believe that since the previous discussion closed as no consensus and since more than 4 years have passed, I am okay to start a second discussion on Henderson. In the last 4 years, it does not appear that any further coverage has developed and Henderson still appears to fail WP:GNG. I am of the belief that none of the sources currently cited show significant coverage addressing Henderson directly and in depth. The Futsal4all source is not sufficient. Outside of the article, I have found a Telegraph source, a Perth Now picture and Women Soccer. All of these mentions are completely trivial and there is no depth at all.I therefore request that anyone voting keep in this discussion please provide WP:THREE best sources from reliable publications that clearly show enough depth focused on Henderson to demonstrate WP:GNG.
- Bekaye Wade: nominated at AfD; notified Lilianasri (talk · contribs) 19:58, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article was draftified by me as, at the time, the subject did not meet notability criteria but could, in theory, meet them at some point in the future. Creator User:Lilianasri contested this by moving it back into main space.In my view, Wade still doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. I found two sources that mention him Sene News and WIW Sport, both of which mention him only in passing. In terms of NFOOTBALL, he has only played in the Mauritanian league and the 4th tier of Saudi Arabia, neither of which are listed as fully professional at WP:FPL. He has no caps; GSA confirms that he was called up in 2020 but he never got off the bench. National Football Teams, the most reliable source on these matters, has no mention of Wade.
- Tiernan Brooks: nominated at AfD; notified Nottsfan200 (talk · contribs) 13:15, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The player clearly fails WP:NFOOTBALL; see Soccerbase.This Nottingham Post article is fairly good and there's a small bit of coverage in Worksop Guardian but not enough for WP:GNG in my opinion. I would say delete for now or draftify (although I note that Notts County aren't playing in a FPL currently).
- Enrichi Finica: nominated at AfD; notified Dragos411 (talk · contribs) 21:34, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Finica does not have any appearances that would give him presumed notability through WP:NFOOTBALL. In terms of WP:GNG, Google searches, as well as a Romanian search, did find some coverage but not enough of it appears to be significant enough to constitute a clear passing of WP:GNG.I found an announcement about testing positive for COVID, this in GSP and another brief GSP article. There is also this post on 1923, a Rapid Bucharest fan site, which does not pass our standards at WP:RS, so should be disregarded entirely.
- Kosar Pourreza: nominated at AfD; notified Maryam CNA (talk · contribs) 22:09, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Inglish Maker: nominated at AfD; notified Bursubba (talk · contribs) 10:50, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify - in my view, this would not pass WP:AfC. The three sources cited are nearly identical in terms of content despite being hosted on different websites. All are written by 'Digital Desk' rather than professional journalists. Furthermore, not even one of them shows significant coverage of Inglish Maker.Nothing in my WP:BEFORE search shows strong coverage either so I believe that this fails WP:GNG.
- Reclaim Radical - Radical versus Radicalised (film): nominated at AfD; notified AEAE123 (talk · contribs) 12:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Nothing in my WP:BEFORE search shows that this passes WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. It is a short video released by Leicester City Council but there is no significant analysis of it in reliable sources independent of the subject, as far as I can see. It does not meet any of our criteria for speedy deletion, hence AfD. I don't believe that draftifying would be appropriate unless sources showing significant coverage, reviews or accolades are located.
- Croatia at the 2002 FIFA World Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Boba 99 (talk · contribs) 14:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: We already have Croatia at the FIFA World Cup, which covers this in enough detail. In addition to that, this article does not significantly expand upon the content already found at 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 6, 2002 FIFA World Cup Group G and 2002 FIFA World Cup squads so, to me, this seems like unnecessary duplication of content.
- Shahrul Hakim: nominated at AfD; notified Galvoci01 (talk · contribs) 11:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has played 94 mins over 2 games to constitute a relatively weak passing of WP:NFOOTBALL. Google searches only shows trivial coverage, such as appearing at the end of a BH article, in the squad list. Similarly, searches centred on Malaysian sources yield nothing better. Passing mentions were found in match reports for The Point, Malay Mail, Malaysia Gazette and a few others. None of this shows a passing of WP:GNG and there is clear consensus that such articles that only show a weak passing of NSPORTS and no significant coverage should be deleted from Wikipedia.
- Ruhez Amrelia: nominated at AfD; notified Bluespidey2k (talk · contribs) 07:57, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD; the article is effectively unreferenced now that the Financial Express advertorial has been removed. I could not find even one WP:RS showing WP:SIGCOV, therefore WP:GNG does not appear to be met. Some may argue that the subscriber count or view count makes him notable but there is clear consensus at WP:NYOUTUBE that this is not sufficient when the YouTuber hasn't received any significant coverage from independent sources.
- Morteza Andy: nominated at AfD; notified Bet99 bro (talk · contribs) 14:44, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The references make no mention of the player and there is nothing coming up in a WP:BEFORE search. I would expect a player playing at his level since 2010 to receive quite a lot of coverage but I'm getting nothing. Either a hoax or just a non-notable footballer that fails WP:GNG. I can't read Chinese so I am relying on translations. Please let me know if there is some good coverage in Chinese that I'm not picking up. Thanks.
- Ayşe Önal (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 17:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL per TFF, which has no appearances for the senior national team or in a league listed at WP:FPL. She was last recorded playing football in 2019 in the third tier, so no credible chance of ever meeting the SNG.In terms of WP:GNG, the article uses 8 stats database references, one passing mention and an article that has one very small paragraph on her; this covers her as a 12 year old playing at a training camp. As per WP:YOUNGATH, this sort of coverage is not enough. My own WP:BEFORE search yielded only 3 trivial mentions in squad lists: Yanki, Haberler and Maras Gundem.
- Wearside Combination Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Davindersangha (talk · contribs) 17:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This league, which was believed to be at level 13 of the English football league system, although was not officially part of the system, does not meet WP:FOOTYN criteria for presumed notability. Its notability has to be based purely on coverage. The only decent coverage this league ever seemed to get was when it closed down; see Sunderland Echo.In my searches, I only found one completely trivial book mention, a listing of results in Chronicle Live and a passing mention in the same paper. Searching the British newspaper archive for Wearside Combination League only yielded results listings, league tables and fixture listings, all of which are far from WP:SIGCOV. I also note that only the Sunderland Echo ever seemed to even mention this league. Searching its full name returned even less.
- Tibor Fülöp: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 19:23, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His 8 mins of professional football allowed his article to be created as he technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL. When it comes to WP:GNG, which ultimately Fülöp must be able to pass, I couldn't find any reasonable coverage. A Hungarian search was made difficult as his name is so common in Hungary. Working with his profile on HLSZ and MLSZ, I found an exhaustive list of the clubs that he has played for. I then performed searches in conjunction with these clubs to narrow down the results.My conclusion is that the best sources about him are an extremely brief injury announcement, a match report and appearing in a list of players released by a club. This is not significant coverage, therefore, I propose that we delete the article from Wikipedia for failing our notability standards for biographies.
- Linnéa Åberg: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 13:57, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL and I'm seeing no evidence of meeting WP:GNG. Some may argue that playing in the Damallsvenskan carries a presumption of notability but Åberg has played fewer than 200 mins in that league so can't even really claim notability from that. Searches centred on Swedish sources mainly come back with profile pages on the usual wide-ranging football database websites and articles about namesakes in other fields, such as graphic design and reality TV. I have only managed to find one article in a WP:RS about her; this transfer announcement. The only source I found that wasn't completely trivial was this Wordpress blog entry.
- Hariz Kamarudin: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 08:18, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As per Soccerway, Football Critic and GSA, subject does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL as they have no senior caps nor have they played in a WP:FPL. No significant coverage cited in the article and nothing found in Google searches or Malaysian searches of Hariz Kamarudin and Hariz Kamaruddin.Previous coverage found here. Does not meet speedy deletion criteria as the sources in this current article are from this month so the article is not identical.
- Salva Valero: nominated at AfD; notified Itspspss (talk · contribs) 09:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Youth coaching positions do not qualify him for WP:NFOOTBALL. In terms of coverage in independent WP:RS, I could only find a passing mention in AS. In my searches I found a blog post written by Valero himself and this Thai Footie blog post. We should ignore the source written by him and I don't think that the other blog post is enough for WP:GNG on its own.
- Lily Agg: nominated at AfD; notified Mattjohns01 (talk · contribs) 11:37, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: User:Dougal18's rationale in the previous AfD a few months ago, where there was clear consensus to delete, remains valid. Agg still does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. This FA article still appears to be the only independent, reliable source addressing Agg directly and in detail, as it was before.Newly added sources are just either non-WP:RS such as Lady Arse Tumblr, LinkedIn, Daily Cannon and those that are RS are just brief transfer announcements or database profile pages, which do not confer notability. A WP:BEFORE did not come up with any further non-routine coverage since the previous discussion a few months ago indicating that she is still not notable enough for an article in a general encyclopaedia.
- Tunku Noor Hidayat: nominated at AfD; notified TanahTumpuhnyaDarahku (talk · contribs) 17:26, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I believe that this article was created on the belief that he passes WP:NFOOTBALL but he doesn't. There are cup games recorded on Soccerway, Tribuna and Soccerpunter but, since Sime Darby were playing in the 3rd tier, MOF in the 3rd tier and Penang in the 2nd tier at the time that Tunku was playing for them, the cup appearances do not meet NFOOTBALL.Searches, including ones centred on Malaysian sources, did not come back with any significant coverage. The best that I could find were Goal, The Star and The Star, none of which discuss Tunku in detail. I would argue that he fails WP:GNG.
- DJ Phellix: nominated at AfD; notified Afsane1369 (talk · contribs) 16:28, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: In my WP:BEFORE search of "دیجی فلیکس" and "DJ Phellix", I did not find any WP:RS showing WP:SIGCOV of the subject. WP:GNG requires that the subject is discussed in depth in independent sources but excludes press releases. Digital Journal, NCN, RFD, Scoop and KMLK are all clearly marked as 'advertising content' and 'press release'. The only remotely decent source that I could find was on Time Bulletin (blacklisted) but it's not enough on its own.
- Zulfadhli Mohamed: nominated at AfD; notified Ibnusarimin (talk · contribs) 18:35, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The infobox suggests that Zulfadhli meets WP:NFOOTBALL but it looks like this is a misinterpretation of the stats websites. Probably an honest one. Soccerway shows clearly that the alleged Johor and PDRM appearances actually took place as an unused substitute, which would not qualify him for the SNG. This is confirmed by GSA, Football Critic, Playmaker Stats and even by Malaysian football stats website Johor Southern Tigers. More importantly, searches, including a Malaysian centred search, do not come back with any significant coverage at all. At best, we have some cup match reports in Goal, TNP and Yahoo but none of these actually stop at any point to address Zulfadhli in depth. I, therefore, believe that he fails WP:GNG.
- Concepción Ricarte: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 19:16, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I could not find any sources covering Conchi Ricarte in depth. Searches have come back with sources from Levante's own website as well as other websites for clubs that she briefly played for, but nothing independent of her, as per WP:IS. Spanish searches of Concepción Ricarte and Conchi Ricarte yielded no significant coverage. The latter did yield Super Deporte, Marca and DXT but these are only passing mentions. Google searches also only come back with the usual indiscriminate stats databases and Levante's own website. No evidence of a WP:GNG pass.
- Syafiq Rahman: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 17:39, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Taking this to AfD as Syafiq has played 1 min of professional football five years ago but done nothing of note since. The weakest possible passing of WP:NFOOTBALL is not enough when WP:GNG is not met. It is worth noting that Soccerway and Tribuna have no top tier appearances recorded and Playmaker Stats has the one.Searches of Syafiq Rahman and Syafiq Abdul Rahman brought back only one passing mention in BH. The rest were just the usual database pages and Blogspot pages, which do not count towards notability. Clear consensus that such players aren't notable unless they meet GNG. 1 minute of football isn't enough to ignore that.
- Mohd Syazwan Kassim: nominated at AfD; notified Peoya (talk · contribs) 18:07, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Alleged two appearances for Kuala Muda are unsourced and I couldn't find a source to verify them. Soccerway and Tribuna are the only reliable databases that list him but there are only a few second tier appearances, nothing more.Google searches and Malaysian searches came back with nothing about the player. There is clear consensus now that such players must meet WP:GNG to be kept. The player has no ongoing career; there is no reason to believe that they are notable or likely to be notable any time soon.
- Minecraft Monday: nominated at AfD; notified LionsOfPowerInTheSky (talk · contribs) 13:01, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Redirect to Keemstar, which seemed appropriate, has been continually reverted. I am failing to see any evidence of enough coverage in independent sources for an article like this to be justified. Simply put, I'm not seeing enough of a WP:GNG pass and article, in its current form, just looks like a piece of fancruft and not an encyclopaedia article. Taking this to AfD to hopefully establish consensus.
- İpek Özgan: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:27, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs. No national team appearances or ongoing career; no inherent notability so we need to look at WP:GNG.Current references do not show any WP:SIGCOV and the article is currently a synthesis of stats from Turkish Football Federation. One source found through Google but it's only a passing mention. A Turkish search only yielded Wikipedia mirrors and profile pages on the usual football databases. No evidence that Özgan meets our inclusion criteria.
- Sude Mihri Çınar: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:52, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another very similar case to Büşra Demirörs. No senior national team appearances nor WP:FPL appearances so does not meet footballer criteria (WP:NFOOTBALL). She also does not appear to meet inclusion criteria for rugby players, if my interpretation of that guideline is correct (WP:NRU). In terms of WP:GNG, the article currently has 7 passing mentions in squad lists and 1 database profile page at the Turkish Football Federation, which every player that has even played 1 game in any of the top 3 tiers will have.Nothing coming up in Google searches. Searching "Sude Çınar" instead of her full name will yield a lot of coverage about a social media personality, who is clearly a different person. A Turkish search did get a few hits but these are all just passing mentions and do not address Çınar in depth; for example Haberciniz, Onder, Internetspor, Haberin Asli and Olay53. None of those indicate notability.
- S.Vishnu Ruban Nair: nominated at AfD; notified MuhamadAzri (talk · contribs) 19:19, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly fails WP:NFOOTBALL as his career never reached a higher level than the third tier of Malaysian football, which is two tiers below the professional level. See also Soccerway, Tribuna and Soccerpunter.The Stadiumastro source is only a passing mention but the other source (translated here) actually has a small amount of coverage about his parents and youth career, although I question whether this website has the reputation for fact-checking required to meet WP:RS. Also, WP:GNG clearly requires multiple reliable sources, not just one. Malaysian searches of Vishnu Ruban Nair and Visnu Ruban Nair came back with nothing better than The Star, a passing mention, and Sarawak Crocs, a transfer rumour from an unreliable source.
- Shaina Production: nominated at AfD; notified Iamsarbmalhi (talk · contribs) 19:30, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly fails WP:NCORP; I could not find even one independent, reliable source showing significant coverage of this company. Fails WP:NMUSIC; not one of the more important indie record labels. Also see Devrattan Kanda, which is now salted.
- Alfie Lewis: nominated at AfD; notified Kieran167 (talk · contribs) 22:48, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD removed but no reason given. I can only presume that draftifying would be challenged as well.Rationale was Lacks significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject (so excluding St Pat's and West Ham's own websites and social media feeds and excluding routine transfer news and match reporting), failing WP:GNG. Has never played in a game between two clubs playing in a league listed at WP:FPL, failing WP:NFOOTBALL also.I couldn't find any significant coverage from sources independent of Lewis in a WP:BEFORE search so I can't see any reason why the PROD rationale would be incorrect at all.
- The Blend Hawke's Bay: nominated at AfD; notified NZConnor (talk · contribs) 09:00, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant coverage from independent sources and there is nothing cited in the article. My search only came back with a job advert asking for presenters for a new radio station. I was going to draftify the article but, if there aren't any decent sources out there, it would be better to actually delete it.
- Tetyana Fedosova: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 08:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Redirected to Pavlo Fedosov but was contested immediately. Clearly does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL but I think that this fails WP:GNG too. Her WFPL profile page is empty. Two of the other references don't even mention her and this interview with her son only mentions her once. The reason I redirected instead of putting up for deletion was because her name might be a plausible search term. This article is basically about her team's achievements as there is nothing apparently available about Fedosova to actually write an article from.The only relevant hits in a Ukrainian search are Sport UA, Footboom and UA Football, all of which are word-for-word rehashings of the same interview with her son so should not count as separate sources. This does not meet the clear requirements of WP:SIGCOV and it's worth noting that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from having a notable son.
- Juned Patel: nominated at AfD; notified TechinfoInc (talk · contribs) 21:33, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Lisa Renlund: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 22:06, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't appear to meet notability requirements. Has played 45 mins in a league not listed at WP:FPL, so does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. In terms of WP:GNG, I was not able to locate multiple reliable sources showing significant coverage; there is one Damfotboll article (translated) but GNG requires multiple sources. Älvsbynews has passing mentions of her in match reports, such as this, this and this but such coverage does not add up to GNG. Aside from that we have the usual football databases and some Blogspot passing mentions of her.
- Cristian Măgerușan: nominated at AfD; notified Dragos411 (talk · contribs) 12:28, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as his only appearances to date are 112 mins in a semi-pro league three years ago.A Romanian search yielded a passing mention in a list of players, a Digisport passing mention, a brief quote about almost joining Sheffield United and a Q&A. The Q&A is the only thing that comes close to WP:GNG but it's just the player talking about himself. I couldn't find any evidence of independent sources discussing Măgerușan in enough depth for GNG.
- Marita Black: nominated at AfD; notified Asteuartw (talk · contribs) 19:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This article used to have a lot more content but it got trimmed, presumably due to being badly sourced and violating our WP:BLP policy. Black is potentially non-notable and does not apparently meet WP:NMUSICIAN, WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG.Looking at this old revision, we know that she was in a band called Lust Pollution, but I'm not seeing much in terms of WP:RS coverage about that band, not enough to make her notable in her own right as the singer anyway. Her acting career seems to have only one role that could be argued as significant; a teacher in one series of Grange Hill. She does not have the multiple roles required.Her work in the field of hypnotherapy also doesn't seem to be enough. Only passing mentions in a newspaper search.
- Guildford and Woking Alliance League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 21:14, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another league that is well below the level for presumed notability as per WP:FOOTYN. Absolutely nothing coming up in Google Books, Google Images or Google News on the league. Nothing in ProQuest either. Results in a British newspaper search were all from the same local paper, the Staines & Ashford News. The coverage in that paper was infrequent and had barely any depth to it. Very rarely did it extend beyond a mere listing of results.Absolutely no evidence that this meets WP:GNG. Similar case to Wakefield and District Football Association League and Wearside Combination Football League, both of which were at a similar level and also had issues with lack of independent coverage.
- Büşra Taşkın: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:39, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs and Sude Mihri Çınar. No inherent notability from career to date so we need to look at WP:GNG.Current references do not show any WP:SIGCOV and the article is currently a synthesis of stats from the Turkish Football Federation. Google searches and a Turkish source search come back with a passing mention in an under 19 report, a squad list mention, one sentence about her scoring 13 goals in a regional league and one quote from her in Aksam. None of the sources found address Taşkın in depth. There does not appear to be anything that we can build a biography from. Wikipedia is not a TFF mirror.
- Zoltán Puskás: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 19:02, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There is a weak presumption of notability from his 1 minute of professional football 10 years ago. His career since then has been played at lower levels and he is currently playing two tiers below professional level, so no immediate likelihood of building on his 1 minute. Google searches and a Hungarian source search came back with some relevant hits, but no clear significant coverage. I found Radio7 and NB3 each had a small transfer announcement about him. I also found that BAON had a couple of match reports which mention him in passing here and here. No sign of a WP:GNG pass. Clear consensus that a weak WP:NFOOTBALL pass several years ago is insufficient when GNG is not met.
- Sudarso Hardjowasito: nominated at AfD; notified Danmirm (talk · contribs) 20:31, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No reliable sources cited in the article and Google Books has just the one passing mention of him. A search of Indonesian sources comes up with a passing mention in These Football Times and another in Weszlo. Even his World Referee profile page has barely anything about him.
- Ashley Beecham: nominated at AfD; notified MissCurious5 (talk · contribs) 21:05, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable assistant referee. Despite having 33 references in the article, there is no evidence that Beecham meets WP:GNG at all. The creator is an WP:SPA with a probable WP:COI as, in there many years of editing, they have only edited this one article.Clearly a lot of effort has gone in to this exhaustive list of matches that Beecham has assisted in refereeing, including a list of youth matches and friendlies. Each of the references, the ones that are accessible via archive anyway, are only passing mentions. A search centred on Australian searches yields no useful results nor do Google searches. Mentions are always brief such as News.com.au, SMH and A League. Beecham is never mentioned in detail; just a passing mention, then quickly onto the next person.Referees do not inherit notability from the matches that they are involved in. They must meet GNG in their own right.
- Amelia Morris: nominated at AfD; notified Hack (talk · contribs) 23:25, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Angelo Nardi (referee): nominated at AfD; notified CARAVAGGISTI (talk · contribs) 00:05, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not enough depth for WP:GNG, in my view. No significant coverage cited in the article and little found in searches. The best that I could find were 2 passing mentions in The World Game, SMH match report, a list in My Football and a picture of him in QT.
- Sultat Shaab Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Wael.Mogherbi (talk · contribs) 09:31, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This article has been unsourced for 11 years and there is no indication of notability. I have given the individual tournament articles a PROD already. My WP:BEFORE search is only coming back with Wikipedia mirrors and no coverage in established WP:RS, therefore, I see no potential for this article to be more than what it currently is. WP:GNG not established.
- Super8 Mundialito Beach Soccer Tournament: nominated at AfD; notified Caperspark (talk · contribs) 09:58, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Some sources available but not enough from established WP:RS to show a clear passing of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT, which requires more than just routine announcements of the event. I found a brochure published by the tournament itself, clearly not an independent source. I found an announcement about the 2013 tournament here and some about subsequent tournaments here and here. Notice that all articles are written by 'editorial staff' rather than actual named authors and all are written promotionally.I could not find any coverage of individual matches, not even the finals. All coverage, and there's very little of it, seems to be pre-tournament announcements.
- Gojko Lopičić Memorial Tournament: nominated at AfD; notified BirziminiumMNE (talk · contribs) 10:59, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT; searches of the Montenegrin name are not returning any useful results, mainly Wikipedia mirrors. Friendly tournaments are not inherently notable and are required to have multiple sources covering them in depth to justify an article.
- Mikhail Alchenko: nominated at AfD; notified Shawn Baliela (talk · contribs) 12:34, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- 2013 Montenegro Trophy: nominated at AfD; notified BirziminiumMNE (talk · contribs) 12:42, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I am concerned that this does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT. This may not even satisfy basic WP:V as there are no sources in the article at all and there never were any. Searches relating to this, its teams, Spuž and Ulcinj are coming back with no useful results at all. This would require multiple independent and reliable sources reporting on it in depth to qualify for an article.
- Da Great (singer): nominated at AfD; notified Oklo Adiga (talk · contribs) 14:55, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG; only copy and pasted press release coverage available. Very lazy copying and pasting as well. If you don't believe me, see how they all contain the line "He started music professionally at the age of 17 having drawn great support from his mother who he describes as his number one fan." somewhere in the article. Once you remove this single press release, that has been copied and pasted across numerous Nigerian websites, there appears to be no coverage of him.
- The Testpaper (2018 film): nominated at AfD; notified Randomcrunchycookie (talk · contribs) 10:11, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG; article was sent to draft by User:CommanderWaterford about half an hour ago but returned to main space 4 minutes later with no reliable sources, still. My WP:BEFORE search found nothing. The New Indian Express reference is about a completely different film.
- List of Cricketers Converts to Islam: nominated at AfD; notified Mehdiakram (talk · contribs) 10:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm aware that this article is still under development but, before it gets too far, I want to start a deletion discussion because this looks like a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation to me. I can't see how it would pass WP:LISTN or fulfil any purpose at WP:LISTPURP.
- Manuel Mesquita: nominated at AfD; notified Joaommx (talk · contribs) 11:41, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There is no SNG for futsal players, they must simply meet WP:GNG. The best sources found on him were a passing mention in a match report on Sapo, an extremely brief transfer announcement in Record and a routine announcement about renewing his contract. Such routine coverage is insufficient for GNG.
- Danny (futsal player): nominated at AfD; notified Joaommx (talk · contribs) 11:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Paulo César Pereira: nominated at AfD; notified Joaommx (talk · contribs) 12:13, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: SNGs like WP:NFOOTBALL do not apply here. There is no evidence that this player meets WP:GNG at all; best coverage found all trivial; see Benfica, Zero Zero and Record. I can't find anything examining him in depth.
- Butch Francisco: nominated at AfD; notified Kurtenrix28 (talk · contribs) 12:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Narrowly escapes WP:G4 and WP:G11 due to rewording and small adjustments in content. Still fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL by a long way. The passing mentions in Rotary Club are not enough as he is affiliated with that organisation, so they are non-independent, per WP:IS. Other references like Wikivisually and Facebook are not reliable and self-published, per WP:RS. Role in politics is way short of NPOL requirements.Nothing found in a WP:BEFORE including a search of Filipino sources here. Only unrelated namesakes coming up.
- Thisarana Arama: nominated at AfD; notified UspLK (talk · contribs) 17:02, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly declined draft (see Draft:Thisarana Arama) copied and pasted over to main space with no attempt to address issues. Searching the Sinhalese and Tamil names for this organisation comes back with zero useful results. Simple English and Sinhalese Wikipedia articles for this organisation also contain no decent sources. English searches come back with their Facebook page and little else.This article has essentially two sources, Online Lanka Radio and Susanda Media, both of which are carbon copies of each other and blatant press releases, not independent content at all. 0/10 effort there.Massive WP:NORG fail; no evidence of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
- Selmen Sassi: nominated at AfD; notified Hamed Gamaoun (talk · contribs) 18:00, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Looks like he fails WP:NFOOTBALL; I can't find him anywhere other than the unreliable Transfermarkt, which has no appearances in a league listed at WP:FPL and no manager roles at any appropriate clubs; managing an academy or youth team does not confer notability.A search of Austrian sources only comes back with one Q&A, which is far from enough to satisfy WP:GNG. I can't see any real English media coverage either outside of self-published and social media stuff.
- Biswatosh Sinha: nominated at AfD; notified Cozilike (talk · contribs) 19:31, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Since the previous AfD was 10 years ago and the situation has likely changed somewhat, I feel that this warrants a second discussion. Three of the four cited sources don't mention Sinha at all and the other one is IMDb. In my search I found a passing mention in The Statesman and then a couple of occasions where his tweet has been reposted, for example Bollywood Life and Business Insider.10 years from the previous AfD, it still looks like he fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG. I must note that it was quite impressive to see such a strong consensus to delete an article in a 2011 AfD as well; notability criteria were a bit more relaxed back then, I recall.
- Nerea Gabirondo: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 11:09, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't meet WP:GNG unfortunately and definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL. A similar case to recently deleted Concepción Ricarte in that there is no in-depth coverage about the player. I have checked the Wikipedia articles in other languages and not found any sources about her from those. The Marca reference is a trivial mention. So is this in El Diario Vasco. A Spanish search came back with a brief injury announcement, which is routine coverage with no depth. The only remotely decent Basque coverage is this Q&A, which is not enough to pass GNG on its own and contains no analysis or commentary on her from other people. There are many Spanish players that fail NFOOTBALL but pass GNG, such as Cristina Pizarro and Ainara Manterola, both of whom contain significant analysis and coverage from big Spanish newspapers; this isn't the case with Gabirondo.
- Redhill and District Saturday Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Veggiepunk (talk · contribs) 19:12, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable regional Saturday league playing at a level below WP:FOOTYN's presumption of notability. I'm not really seeing enough for WP:GNG either. Internet searches come back with nothing better than an utterly trivial mention in The Guardian. A reasonable number of results in newspapers, for example searches of Redhill and District Saturday League and Redhill and District Football League come up with very brief write-ups for the AGMs and fixture/result listings in local papers like Surrey Mirror, Sussex Agricultural Express and Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser, in most cases taking up only a small portion of a column on one page. Not enough for WP:GNG in my view.Similar case to Guildford and Woking Alliance League.
- Midlands Regional Alliance: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 19:28, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another low-level subcounty league with only very trivial coverage in local papers. Although this article is referenced this time, the sources are all connected to the league and are not truly independent of the subject.Google Books has two passing mentions. The three Google News hits are all, without exception, completely trivial too. Other internet searches also yield very little. ProQuest results are almost entirely from Belper News and Ripley & Heanor News, both extremely local papers; the coverage itself is also trivial and barely extends beyond result listings and an occasional match report. I also did a British newspaper search which came back with barely anything other than mere results listings again.

[edit]- Antonio Leone: nominated at AfD; notified SoccerFan416 (talk · contribs) 19:28, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined draft (see Draft:Antonio Leone) that was then copied and pasted over to main space. Hasn't played a game according to MLS Soccer, LAFC and Soccerbase so WP:NFOOTBALL isn't met. In my searches, I could only find routine and brief youth football coverage such as Medio Tiempo, Futbol Total and a paragraph in ESPN. I don't think that it's a clear WP:GNG pass yet.
- Merve Akıl: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 10:47, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs. No inherent notability from career to date and no ongoing career either so we need to look at WP:GNG alone.The only sources cited are the Turkish Football Federation profile page and TSG 05 Bamberg's website, neither of which provide significant coverage nor are they independent of the subject. Google searches turn up no useful results at all and a Turkish source search only yields Wikipedia mirrors, stats websites and results about namesakes. No evidence at all of WP:GNG actually being satisfied.
- Halifax and District Association Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 15:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Yet another low-level subcounty league with only very trivial coverage in local papers.
- Ivo Gyurov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 20:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 17 minutes of professional football 10 years ago constitutes a very weak passing of WP:NFOOTBALL. It's worth noting that the footballer does not appear to have any active career; no record of him playing after 2016 anywhere.A Bulgarian search yielded no significant coverage whatsoever. He is mentioned twice in passing in this Darik News article and has one passing mention in Sport VT. I'm not seeing any evidence of a WP:GNG pass for Gyurov.
- Saad Al Nasser: nominated at AfD; notified Lilianasri (talk · contribs) 19:17, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify, moved back to main space by User:Lilianasri (see Draft:Saad Al-Nasser for original article). His 11 mins of football to date were against an Uzbek team, the Uzbek league is not listed at WP:FPL as 'fully professional', therefore Al-Nasser does not yet meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Only passing mentions found in an Arabic search; Alyaum gives a passing mention of his debut, Al-Jazirah mentions him in a squad list and another passing mention in Dawri Plus. There are a few other small mentions of him but I couldn't see anything that indicates WP:GNG.Since he does not appear to meet either the GNG or SNG, I would say that this article is WP:TOOSOON. I believe the draft should be allowed to stay, though.
- Martins Osodi: nominated at AfD; notified Editormart (talk · contribs) 19:36, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- Kara Mowbray: nominated at AfD; notified Camw (talk · contribs) 09:59, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Searches did not yield any significant coverage and no indication within the article itself that Mowbray passes WP:GNG. The best I could find in sources independent of Mowbray was a Soccerway page, one mention in ABC and a TWG mention.
- Assen Alexov: nominated at AfD; notified Dfotev (talk · contribs) 11:39, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No WP:FPL appearances in Soccerway or Tribuna as neither Regionalliga Süd (1994–2012) nor Swiss Challenge League are listed as fully professional leagues, so I'm not seeing a WP:NFOOTBALL pass. Only passing mentions in German media such as Verlagshaus and Sued Kurier. Bulgarian searches return almost nothing about him. I can't see how Alexov would pass WP:GNG.
- Naseel Voici: nominated at AfD; notified NaseelVoici (talk · contribs) 15:17, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There is clear consensus that articles written by the subject do not count as evidence of notability for that person themselves. Despite the plethora of sources cited, none of them actually show significant coverage of Voici. My WP:BEFORE didn't show anything that would indicate a WP:GNG pass.This autobiography also doesn't seem to pass any of the 4 criteria at WP:NJOURNALIST either.
- EAFF U-18 Youth Tournament: nominated at AfD; notified Younis7435 (talk · contribs) 16:13, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The sub-article 2015 EAFF U-18 Youth Tournament is currently up for deletion but I also think that the parent article should be considered. I'm not seeing enough coverage of the matches from sources that are actually independent of the EAFF to show that WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT are met.
- Behrad Shahriari: nominated at AfD; notified Aliasghar ghorbandokht (talk · contribs) 16:56, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was CSD A7 tagged by User:CommanderWaterford but it has been continually removed by IPs. Shahriari fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG. Full source analysis to follow.
- Lyrics Academy of Music: nominated at AfD; notified D.P Talukdar (talk · contribs) 19:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not eligible for speedy deletion as it's an educational institution. I was, however, completely unable to find any sources showing WP:ORGDEPTH so I believe that this fails WP:NORG.
- Tushar Kumar (politician): nominated at AfD; notified Iamamjad03 (talk · contribs) 10:55, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hossein Razavi: nominated at AfD; notified Qomcity (talk · contribs) 11:31, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Sh Atif Maqbool: nominated at AfD; notified Amir khan Sundho (talk · contribs) 13:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The one reference cited describes him as a politician but I don't think that his role satisfies WP:NPOL. It is also not an independent source and hence unreliable. His tweet was quoted in a BBC article but that alone isn't enough. This already exists at Draft:Sh. Atif Maqbool so there is no point in draftifying this one a second time. Also worth noting that Sheikh Atif Maqbool is now salted so the creator has created this article under a different name in an attempt to game the system. If there is consensus to delete this article, I would strongly recommend adding WP:SALT to this title as well.My searches did not come back with anything to suggest that this activist passes WP:GNG.
- Özlem Gezer: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 16:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs in that Gezer falls short on both the SNG (WP:NFOOTBALL) and WP:GNG. Current sources are only a database profile page and 2 mentions in squad lists.A WP:BEFORE search was made tricky as there is a prominent German journalist of the same name. A Turkish language search came back with nothing better than a passing mention in Alanya Haber and a squad list at the end of a match report in Kayseri Olay.
- Zico Aipa: nominated at AfD; notified Ikhsanseptian (talk · contribs) 17:21, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Reliable sources Soccerway, Tribuna and Soccerpunter suggest that he doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL and that the closest to doing so was that one time he sat on the bench against Churchill Brothers. Searches, including an Indonesian one only came back with this transfer announcement and a bunch of articles which only mention him once in passing. He does not appear to have the multiple reliable sources addressing him in detail required to pass WP:GNG.
- Takshshila Institute Of Engineering And Technology: nominated at AfD; notified JaggaBadaJasoos (talk · contribs) 17:48, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale by User:Mikehawk10 was This page is written like an advertisement, there appears to be very little news coverage of the page, and it might be better to blow up the page and restart. I also can't find real in-depth coverage of the source when considering broader sources easily accessible to me, so I am putting this up, as the article topic may very well fail WP:GNG..I can't find any coverage that shows a passing of WP:NORG myself so I'm taking this to AfD.
- Hridoypora: nominated at AfD; notified DipanwitaDatta12 (talk · contribs) 18:45, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hamid Rashidi (futsal player): nominated at AfD; notified Pournia (talk · contribs) 18:56, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Notability tagged last year but removed by creator. None of the references provided show significant coverage. A player's name appearing in a squad list does not confer notability. I found this article in a search of his Persian name but this isn't significant either. WP:GNG doesn't appear to be met and futsal players are not given any presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL either.
- Deepak Pun Magar: nominated at AfD; notified Razkoomar (talk · contribs) 06:47, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Esra Manya: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 16:02, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Should be deleted as per the general consensus that footballers that don't meet the SNG (WP:NFOOTBALL) or WP:GNG do not qualify for an article. I found this Hurriyet article that mentions her but it does not provide any significant coverage. A search of Turkish sources did not come back with anything better. Source analysis to follow.
- 3D Night: nominated at AfD; notified Jiasally (talk · contribs) 10:18, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The references used are IMDb and a bunch of copy-and-paste press releases, most of which are clearly marked as such with comments like This story has not been edited by Business Standard staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.This short film does not appear to meet our standards found at WP:NFILM and WP:GNG.
- Damla Çoban: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 11:06, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs in that Çoban falls short on both the SNG (WP:NFOOTBALL - see the Turkish TFF page for confirmation that her caps are only at youth level) and WP:GNG. Current sources are only a database profile page and 2 articles that fail to mention her (the AMK Spor article is archived here).A Turkish search yields nothing better than database profile pages and self-published sources. Google searches do bring up some passing mentions but nothing more; Anadolu Gazetesi has a routine announcement, Kocaeli Gazetesi has a match report that mentions her in passing, TRT Spor has a squad list mention and Ozgur Kocaeli has another squad list with her on.
- Banbury District and Lord Jersey FA: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 11:24, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A similar case to Redhill and District Saturday Football League. Online searches come up with extremely trivial mentions in local papers like Bicester Advertiser and Oxford Mail. See for example this, this and this. A search of newspaper archives came back with very little. Even searching for Lord Jersey Cup came back with nothing better than a few results listings in the Buckingham Advertiser. I'm not seeing WP:GNG at all.
- Selin Hasbal: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 11:40, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs in that Hasbal falls short on both the SNG (WP:NFOOTBALL) and WP:GNG. Current sources are only a database profile page and 2 articles that mention her in passing (one is rescued here) and 2 UEFA stats-only match reports.A Turkish search returned nothing better than a few squad lists and database profile pages. I did find a smidgen of coverage in Evrensel, which amounts to a brief quote from her and a mention that she is studying to be a PE teacher. This article is also mirrored in other places, such as Ekmek Ve Gul. One borderline article does not amount to a WP:GNG pass.
- Ahmadi (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 09:18, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer with extremely brief career and, despite technically passing WP:NFOOTBALL by the skin of his teeth, I could not find even an iota of notability. A couple of mentions in self-published blogs, such as Ampets and Diar33. There is a Tribun News article which mentions him in passing but little else in actual WP:RS about him. A Soccerway profile, some mentions in non-RS blogs and one match report mentioning him once is not enough to pass WP:GNG in my view.
- Ksenia Kirillova: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 16:41, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I've checked ITF Tennis and Core Tennis and can't see any WTA main draw appearances, any significant titles or any senior grand slam appearances for either singles or doubles. I also can't see any Fed Cup appearances nor did her junior career ever reach the level of being top 3 or winning a junior grand slam tournament. I am, therefore, concerned that WP:NTENNIS is still failed, as it was before. I also can't find anything that could be considered as significant media coverage, addressing Kirillova in depth, which was also an issue that caused this article to be deleted before.I will happily withdraw if evidence is presented that refutes my above argument.
- Nantawut Fanchaiwang: nominated at AfD; notified Larbkai (talk · contribs) 13:49, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unfortunately, this is one of those cases where the references fail to verify the information in the article. If his 15 appearances for Bangkok United can be verified, and if it can be proved that they took place while Bangkok were playing in the top tier, then Fanchaiwang can be presumed notable. At the moment, though, there is no proof for these appearances and they were added to the article back in 2009 by an IP who didn't provide a source.Searching his name only comes back with Wikipedia mirrors and one other database site, which also fails to verify his notability. His first name translates to 'นันทวัฒน์' but I'm not sure what his surname would be in Thai. Searches of 'สโมสรฟุตบอล แบงค็อก' (Bangkok United) in conjunction with 'นันทวัฒน์' (Nantawut) only come back with results about an unrelated player called Nantawat Kokfai.As things stand, there is no evidence of WP:GNG and no clear evidence to support the WP:NFOOTBALL claim and it appears that this article has only survived because of a dubious unsourced edit from an IP. I'll happily withdraw if evidence is presented for notability.
- Somchai Han-iang: nominated at AfD; notified Larbkai (talk · contribs) 14:13, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was previously subject to PROD due to lack of reliable sources about the subject. The best I can find is a basic profile page, his Thai football profile page and a passing mention in Thairath, where the entire squad is listed. Nothing significant is found when searching his name in Thai. No clear evidence of a WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL pass but will withdraw if such evidence is presented.
- Panuwat Hengthaveephokasub: nominated at AfD; notified Das osmnezz (talk · contribs) 15:06, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Coverage is very weak despite the technical WP:NFOOTBALL pass with 44 mins in the league and 24 mins of cup football spread over 3 cameo appearances. With regards to the sources in the article, the Geylang source is not independent as it's the club that he played for and also is only a trivial mention anyway. The S-League source is only a trivial mention. A search of his Thai name came back with nothing useful. Likewise when searching in English.There is consensus within the Wikipedia community that a weak NFOOTBALL pass is insufficient when WP:GNG is not clearly met. I couldn't find sufficient sources addressing Hengthaveephokasub directly and in depth to justify this article.
- Chaiyaphat Honbanleng: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 15:29, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The alleged WP:NFOOTBALL pass is directly contradicted by the article's sole source. Also worth noting that the player is currently plying his trade in the second tier so I'm not even really in favour of draftifying here. Soccerway, Tribuna and GSA all show a failure of NFOOTBALL. The unreliable Transfermarkt has him down as playing in a game against Chonburi on 23 June 2019, however, this is contradicted by the more reliable Besoccer and Soccerway, both of which state that Teerath Nakchamnarn was the goalkeeper for that match instead.Thai searches are only coming back with brief transfer announcements and the odd squad list mention, so I'm not convinced that WP:GNG is met either.
- Retard United: nominated at AfD; notified VilsonF5 (talk · contribs) 15:52, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The RSSSF coverage is just a bunch of stats and doesn't address Retard United in enough depth. Nothing in my searches suggests that this football club meets WP:GNG. We also have WP:FOOTYN but that guideline states that football clubs must ultimately meet GNG to have a stand-alone article about them.
- Merlin Riders FC: nominated at AfD; notified VilsonF5 (talk · contribs) 15:59, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Some of the RSSSF links have this club down as 'Merlin Raiders' instead of 'Merlin Riders' but, to be honest, searches under both names yielded absolutely nothing so this looks like a colossal WP:GNG failure to me.
- Piyawat Intarapim: nominated at AfD; notified Kanzaki Jiro (talk · contribs) 10:13, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway, Tribuna and Besoccer, he has not played higher than the 2nd tier of Thai football so he does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Looking at the alleged appearances, they were all for teams that were playing in the 2nd and 3rd tiers at the time, with the exception of Khon Kaen F.C., who played in the TPL in 2011 but there is no clear evidence that Intarapim made an appearance.A search of Thai sources returns nothing better than a few match report squad lists and a very brief transfer announcement, which contains nothing that we can build a biography from. No evidence of WP:GNG.
- Dendi Sembiring: nominated at AfD; notified Madhon335 (talk · contribs) 11:49, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No apparent claim to notability here. All of his alleged appearances were for clubs that were playing in the 2nd or 3rd tier or below at the time, so WP:NFOOTBALL is not met. Even his Transfermarkt profile only states his Liga 2 appearances. An Indonesian search as well as Google searches come back with nothing better than a few squad list mentions, such as these in Kumparan and Tribun News, which are absolutely not enough for WP:GNG.

- 2005 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 21:23, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT; coverage presented in the article and that found in a search is little more than trivial coverage and basic stats. Was PRODed but removed without offering any explanation.
- 2004 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 21:26, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD with no explanation offered. In my opinion, these two junior tennis matches did not receive any significant coverage from independent sources. Does not appear to pass WP:SPORTSEVENT or WP:GNG.
- 2000 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 21:43, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not convinced that these junior matches were notable either. Searches did not pick up any apparent significant coverage of these 3 matches in independent and reliable sources. No real claim to passing either WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT.
- Naveed Ahamad Mir: nominated at AfD; notified NaveedAhamadMir (talk · contribs) 21:34, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Vikas Santosh Patil: nominated at AfD; notified Darshanpatil5567 (talk · contribs) 16:08, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined 4 times at Draft:Vikas Santosh Patil and now moved over to mainspace with no improvement. Clearly fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG and WP:COI is also present.

[edit]- 2003 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 19:00, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale was I can't find any significant in-depth coverage of these junior matches. Even the Junior Wimbledon finals are not usually notable enough for their own article. In fact, even most senior Grand Slam and Fed Cup finals don't warrant stand-alone articles. There's no justification for this article.This was removed without explanation. Quoting from the relevant policies, the complete absence of any independent sources covering these junior matches shows that they aren't notable enough for a Wikipedia article. SPORTSEVENT requires A game that is widely considered by independent reliable sources to be notable, outside routine coverage of each game, especially if the game received front page coverage outside of the local areas involved - this is clearly failed here. GNG wants significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, which is also sorely lacking.Additionally, SPORTSEVENT encourages that Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats.

- Şefika Altındal: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 19:24, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs in that Altındal falls short on both the SNG (WP:NFOOTBALL) and WP:GNG. Current sources are only a database profile page and 3 articles that mention her in passing.Searches, including a Turkish source search, failed to come up with anything better than a squad list in Haber7 and a passing match report mention in Fanatik.
- 1996 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 12:51, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of notability from within the article, which is just a bunch of stats at the moment. Searches did not come back with any significant coverage from independent sources, so does not look to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT. Would have given this a PROD but creator has a history of contesting the PROD without explanation.
- DZSP-FM: nominated at AfD; notified Antero\ambi (talk · contribs) 13:25, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No sources cited and couldn't find any reliable sources in a search. For example, this was a DDG search. No evidence of a passing of WP:GNG or WP:NRADIO; no evidence of a large audience, established history or being the originator of some programming.
- DWJE-FM: nominated at AfD; notified Antero\ambi (talk · contribs) 13:35, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced and no evidence of a WP:GNG pass; a Google search and DDG source search came back with nothing better than a Fandom Wiki.
- Itthiporn Theprian: nominated at AfD; notified P t ka99 (talk · contribs) 13:58, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Effectively unsourced and no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL; zero hits in Google News and a Thai search returned nothing better than Post Today and Thairath, both of which are squad lists for the Thailand national under-23 football team, which do not confer notability.
- Morteza Jafarzadeh: nominated at AfD; notified Khadempour322 (talk · contribs) 14:49, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG. Source assessment to follow.
- Mulky Alifa Hakim: nominated at AfD; notified Iwan Budi Arta (talk · contribs) 17:49, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to this article, his career finished in 2008, so he never played in the fully professional Liga 1 (Indonesia) and doesn't have the WP:NFOOTBALL presumption of notability.Searches, including an Indonesian search, failed to yield any significant coverage of the player. He is mentioned once in passing in Bola and once in a squad list in Go Sumbar. I'm not seeing any in-depth WP:GNG coverage.
- DWJB-FM: nominated at AfD; notified Antero\ambi (talk · contribs) 09:36, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No sources present and coverage in a Google search and a DDG search are both very weak. Nothing better than LinkedIn. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:NRADIO and the article is borderline promotional with comments like our station has captured wide listenership not only in the province of Batangas and nearby provinces but across the globe thru the Internet suggesting that the article creator is associated with the radio station.
- 2014 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD 09:56, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite these junior matches falling comfortably within the internet era, I could not find any coverage of them in independent sources. No indication of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT. Even most senior finals don't warrant articles of their own so I don't see why this series of junior matches would.
- Juned King: nominated at AfD; notified Lucasraven12 (talk · contribs) 10:02, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Zero significant coverage in WP:RS found in searches and none presented in the article. Despite the suggestion to draftify in the note at the top of the article, I would strongly oppose this as draft space should only be for topics of potential merit. This clearly and badly fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN and should be deleted without hesitation.
- Afriyandi: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 11:53, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 98 mins of football 6 years ago to constitute a very weak passing of WP:NFOOTBALL then subsequently disappeared. Coverage in an Indonesian search is lacking any depth. I found him mentioned in a squad list in Liputan 6 and Goal.com mentions him once as a substitute in a pre-match report. None of this shows WP:GNG being met and, ultimately, doesn't show that this article can be expanded beyond the very basic stub that it is.
- Harminto: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 12:08, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 13 mins of football over 2 matches a decade ago then subsequently disappeared. I could not find any decent coverage at all. I found a passing mention in a Blogspot page but this is a completely unacceptable source for an encyclopaedia. All I can find are database profile pages (e.g. Tribuna). No evidence of meeting WP:GNG at all, which requires multiple reliable sources discussing him in depth.
- CFCH-FM: nominated at AfD; notified TRadio42 (talk · contribs) 21:48, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:G4 declined but I can't see why; as far as I can tell, this is just a reposting of the previously deleted article with no coverage since the initial announcements back in May 2020.User:Bearcat's previous rationale, which I will copy and paste below, still applies:Premature article about a radio station that was granted a license in 2020 but has not yet commenced broadcasting as of today. Simply having been given a license is not grounds for an article in and of itself — there have been many, many instances in North American broadcasting of radio stations being granted licenses by the FCC or the CRTC but then failing to actually launch within the authorized period and thus having their licenses expire, so a radio station has to actually be on the air to qualify for a Wikipedia article per WP:BCAST, not just get a license.In addition, I'm only seeing routine coverage and not enough for WP:GNG.
- Ali R. Jaber: nominated at AfD; notified Pagnotto (talk · contribs) 22:07, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This article is cited entirely to paid-for press releases; all of the sources are clearly marked as such and many of them are identical in content, despite being hosted on different websites. I have done a WP:BEFORE search and failed to find a single reliable source about him so WP:GNG is failed considerably.
- Zaza Amarov: nominated at AfD; notified Masha Ghazaryan (talk · contribs) 18:28, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is also up for deletion in Russian Wikipedia. The references do not demonstrate a passing of WP:GNG, WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:NACTOR. In my search, I found a brief quote in Gazeta but I doubt that that is enough to establish notability on its own.
- 2016 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD 18:43, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I found one independent source which published a painfully brief write-up of the event but this is WP:ROUTINE coverage and nowhere near enough to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT to any degree.
- The Whythouse: nominated at AfD; notified Plexomatic (talk · contribs) 18:55, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: In my searches I can only find them on the usual self-published websites like Deezer, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Twitter etc. Does not appear to meet any of the criteria at WP:BAND and appears to fail WP:GNG also. I have also asked the creator to disclose WP:COI as all of their edits seem to be promoting this non-notable band.
- DZYT-TV: nominated at AfD; notified Antero\ambi (talk · contribs) 17:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Hoax? I can't find any valid sources for this TV station. The only hit that isn't a WIkipedia mirror is a Fandom Wiki which appears to be written by the same person as this article. Looks like a failure of WP:V and WP:GNG.
- DWYU-FM: nominated at AfD; notified Antero\ambi (talk · contribs) 19:43, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Zero sources and nothing coming up in a WP:BEFORE search. According to the article, this radio station started broadcasting today and plays 'TikTok music'. Not notable. Could even be a hoax.
- DZBN-FM: nominated at AfD; notified Antero\ambi (talk · contribs) 19:48, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Joshua Tyler: nominated at AfD; notified Davincih (talk · contribs) 22:19, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Iqbal Shailo, PhD: nominated at AfD; notified BackbiteMidnight (talk · contribs) 18:40, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Creator is edit warring over the BLP PROD and also over the article name with me and with User:Joseywales1961. I can't find any WP:RS about Shailo in a WP:BEFORE search. The sources cited are an article written by him and his own personal LinkedIn page, none of which confer notability. Creator claims to be a close friend of the subject of the article which explains their uncooperative behaviour.
- Sally Rojahn: nominated at AfD; notified SuperJew (talk · contribs) 18:51, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Career never rose to the level of meeting the SNG (WP:NFOOTBALL) and I could only find one single source that was more than a passing mention; this was a Q&A in TWG which, by itself, is not enough to pass WP:GNG, which generally requires multiple sources addressing the subject in depth.
- Akbar Dohodongan Rambe: nominated at AfD; notified Simartampua (talk · contribs) 10:45, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer has still never played a game of football at the senior level according to Football Critic, Tribuna, GSA and Soccerway, so clearly fails WP:NFOOTBALL. In terms of coverage, the article depends entirely on one local source, Tiraipesisir and a WP:BEFORE search did not yield any other sources giving Dongan more than a passing mention in a match report or squad list. WP:GNG uses the plural 'sources' so clearly one source showing decent coverage is not enough. Since the article is on his schoolboy and youth career, we also must consider WP:YOUNGATH, which requires coverage to be beyond WP:ROUTINE and excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications.
- Griffin Kyiv: nominated at AfD; notified Bogic (talk · contribs) 11:16, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing enough non-trivial coverage to justify an article. WP:GNG concern. I've checked the articles in other language Wikis and found nothing better than a 2 min YouTube video, which is now dead, but apparently showed an interview with the president of this club. Other than that, we have a profile page at the local Beach Soccer website and a WP:BEFORE only shows passing squad list mentions like this.
- Rekabet Records: nominated at AfD; notified SkaFaceAKA (talk · contribs) 11:31, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This company's speedy deletion was fiercely contested back in 2008 and, honestly, the article probably should have been deleted back then. As far as I can tell, this record label only existed for a couple of years and has never had a notable artist on its roster, so I'm not really seeing any claim to importance under WP:NMUSIC here. The other way that this could be notable is if it meets our company notability criteria, found at WP:NCORP. Firstly, none of the references in the article actually address Rekabet Records in any depth at all and a WP:BEFORE search covering Google Books, Google, Google News, ProQuest and DuckDuckGo came back with no reliable sources on the company. It does not even look to pass WP:GNG, which is a much lower bar than NCORP.
- Mahmoud Saad (entrepreneur): nominated at AfD; notified Revcrunch (talk · contribs) 11:52, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article borders on being a CV at times but, more importantly, the subject does not appear to pass WP:GNG. Sources cited are mostly self-published or unreliable and I'm not seeing how being one of the first Egyptians to be verified by Amazon is a real claim to notability. His political career doesn't satisfy WP:NPOL nor does he pass WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NJOURNALIST. Another in a long line of 'Jack of all trades' that isn't actually notable in any of his supposed fields.
- Artful BSC Bratislava: nominated at AfD; notified Bartek23ef (talk · contribs) 12:09, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing any in-depth coverage for this beach soccer team. After a long search, I found a Nitra-based newspaper, which published a couple of articles about an annual beach soccer tournament that this team plays in here and here. I see no evidence that the amateur tournament, nor this team that participates in it for one day a year, is notable. The article itself states that beach soccer is barely ever played in Slovakia, which probably explains the lack of media coverage.
- Korneles Budam: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 12:33, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite the weak and technical passing of WP:NFOOTBALL with 40 mins of professional football, I found no significant coverage so WP:GNG does not appear to be met. An Indonesian search yielded nothing better than Tribuna and Football Database. Stats databases do not constitute significant coverage.
- Slamet Hermoko: nominated at AfD; notified Madhon335 (talk · contribs) 12:54, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has never played at professional level, failing WP:NFOOTBALL, and lacks coverage for WP:GNG. I found two extremely trivial mentions; Madiun Today and Banjarmasin Post, both of which being local sources.
- Sonia López Etxeberría: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 21:52, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm currently going through a lot of these Spanish stubs and trying to see if they can be improved at all. Her brief career never rose to the level of meeting WP:NFOOTBALL and I'm not seeing any coverage towards WP:GNG. Currently, the article is only referenced to a stats page and a trivial mention. WP:BEFORE, including a Spanish search, comes back with nothing other than more stats pages like BD Futbol, which do not establish notability.
- 2017 Junior Fed Cup Final: nominated at AfD 19:42, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Mentioned very briefly at Inside the Games and US Tennis Association's website. The coverage is not substantial at all and the second source above is not even an independent source anyway. No evidence of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT as with many other junior matches that have had articles created recently. Information already covered well enough in other articles.
- Frenky Irawan: nominated at AfD; notified Jidini (talk · contribs) 14:00, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer's brief career never rose to the level of meeting WP:NFOOTBALL; according to Tribuna, no professional club appearances and I can't find him on other databases. Playing U23 football for Indonesia does not confer notability either.An Indonesian search fails to yield significant coverage of the subject. In fact, coverage fails to extend beyond passing mentions in match reports for his 3 U23 appearances for Indonesia, such as Goal.com and Football Tribe.
- Pardesi (1993 film): nominated at AfD; notified Bhushan m bhandari (talk · contribs) 14:27, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is now the 4th or 5th incarnation of this article; first was PROD deleted, second was redirected and it's been sent to draft on 2 or 3 occasions. I can find it listed in the directories Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema (2014) and BollySwar. Is this enough to pass our notability guidelines? This film under the name Pardesi doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG and it's not clear if it meets any of the criteria under WP:NFILM.
- Jesca Wilfredy: nominated at AfD; notified Ndizibanana (talk · contribs) 16:04, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Sources provided are promotional and do not appear to be WP:RS in the sense that I'm not seeing that they have a strong reputation for fact checking. I also found Kenya Breaking News and Thrive Global (blacklisted site) but I have similar concerns about these sources. The last source has the tagline We publish pieces as written by outside contributors with a wide range of opinions, which don’t necessarily reflect our own. and both sources look like unreliable blogs.
- Ahmed Abdirahman Omar: nominated at AfD; notified Elyu143 (talk · contribs) 19:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was BLP PROD but I contested this as the creator did add one reliable source that mentions him, albeit in passing only. The Somali league is not fully pro as per WP:FPL so there is no assertion of WP:NFOOTBALL here. In terms of WP:GNG, two of the references don't seem to even mention him and the 2nd one (linked above) is trivial coverage. I have searched the native form of his name Axmed Cabdiraxmaan Cumar and Axmed Gidaamow and found GJ1 and GJ2, which are also trivial mentions. No in-depth coverage located so WP:GNG doesn't appear to be met.
- Ghat Pratighat: nominated at AfD; notified Bhushan m bhandari (talk · contribs) 13:29, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I completely agree with the PROD rationale of User:Donaldd23 which was Non notable film, nothing in a WP:BEFORE except film database sites and videos. No reviews found. Fails WP:NFILM.This was removed without explanation nor any improvement to the article to demonstrate notability. Furthermore, I have failed to find sources showing significant coverage that would allow for a passing of WP:GNG, in the absence of being able to meet the notability guideline for films.
- Zubair Tarar: nominated at AfD; notified Histon890 (talk · contribs) 17:00, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A more detailed version of this article exists at Draft:Zubair Tarar. Neither article contains any reliable sources (WP:RS) and all are self-published. Although the creator claims that this person is famous, I was unable to locate any significant coverage in a WP:BEFORE search. Fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:ANYBIO.
- Achurjya Borpatra: nominated at AfD; notified Monujboraik2001 (talk · contribs) 17:12, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any sources that prove that Borpatra meets WP:NMUSICIAN, WP:ANYBIO or any other guideline. I found a couple of press announcements about being appointed as a brand ambassador but nothing better, for example Janambhumi and Assam Times Post. This article also makes false claims, which are not supported by the cited sources; the claim that he used funds from a cancelled show to buy an ambulance to aid in the pandemic is directly contradicted by the two references, which actually state that he actively violated COVID-19 protocols by continuing to perform. Since the articles only provide passing mentions, WP:GNG isn't met either.
- Secrets of the Lakes: nominated at AfD; notified Jamin Day (talk · contribs) 17:23, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Mr. L (film): nominated at AfD; notified Jamin Day (talk · contribs) 17:30, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Short film which does not appear to have any reviews or significant coverage, so meets neither WP:NFILM nor WP:GNG. I do note that it has received an award and a nomination but neither of these are at festivals that are significant enough to grant automatic notability in lieu of meeting any other notability guidelines.
- Benjamin Gan: nominated at AfD; notified Jamin Day (talk · contribs) 17:37, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG; no significant coverage of him in sources that Wikipedia considers to be reliable (see WP:RS). He has never directed or worked on a notable film so I can't even think of a good place to redirect or merge to.
- Dikshu Sarma: nominated at AfD; notified Monujboraik2001 (talk · contribs) 17:41, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for PROD and notability concern and still no notability demonstrated. All of the references are just trivial mentions. No WP:SIGCOV located during a WP:BEFORE search. I'm also not seeing how this person would pass WP:NMUSICIAN.
- M. Jamil Khairi: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 09:48, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer with extremely brief career, only managing 7 mins of professional football, which provides a weak and technical passing of WP:NFOOTBALL. Ideally, WP:GNG should be met in such cases but I could find no significant coverage whatsoever in Google searches nor in an Indonesian source search. The best thing that I could find was a trivial mention in a youth football match report.
- Goc-ong: nominated at AfD; notified Begunpyrex (talk · contribs) 11:32, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst there are certainly a decent number of people that possess this surname, none of them currently have Wikipedia articles, so this can't be turned into a disambiguation page for them. In terms of reliable sources discussing this surname in depth to show a passing of WP:GNG, I couldn't find any and none are presented in the article.
- Egot (surname): nominated at AfD; notified Begunpyrex (talk · contribs) 11:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any coverage that would allow for a passing of WP:GNG and no such coverage is presented in the article. If there were ever notable people possessing this surname, then it could be converted into a disambiguation but there are currently no articles on people that possess this surname.
- Salwa Elmitwalli: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 22:26, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The Estonian second tier, Egyptian women's league and the Turkish women's league are not listed at WP:FPL so the appearances don't meet WP:NFOOTBALL. None of the sources address her in depth at all and I found nothing in my searches, even when searching in Arabic. The only hits in WP:RS were about other people with the same name. Does not appear to pass WP:GNG.
- Alirezaz: nominated at AfD; notified Juror134 (talk · contribs) 14:14, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Effectively unsourced as the only references provided are links to his social media or links to download his mp3s. No reliable coverage found during English or Persian searches. Fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG.
- Armin Arad: nominated at AfD; notified Juror134 (talk · contribs) 14:20, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Spam article; the 'references' are actually just links to self-published lyric websites or, in most cases, links to download his songs! No news sources or any content from reliable websites found when searching his name in Persian or English. He exists on Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music etc. but there's no actual indication of notability nor does he have a significant enough following for us to essentially ignore our notability standard.This fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN and may even be a candidate for speedy deletion.

July 2021
[edit]- WCC-FM: nominated at AfD; notified 85.5 R&B THE LOU (talk · contribs) 18:48, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I considered moving this to draft, however, the creator has continually moved the article around all sorts of different Wikipedia spaces already so I have no doubt that it would get moved out of draft. Also, a WP:BEFORE search has yielded zero reliable sources about this radio station so I do not believe that the topic has any potential merit and I believe deletion is preferable to draftification in such instances. No evidence of WP:GNG.
- Ayan Nayak: nominated at AfD; notified AnonymousIndiaz (talk · contribs) 19:58, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Game of Games UK: nominated at AfD; notified Farrel Alfaro Ho (talk · contribs) 09:38, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A hoax... I think... Channel 4 and Stephen Mulhern are massive in the UK so, if this show exists and has already aired, it would be featured heavily in the news. I can't find anything on Channel 4's website about this show nor can I find anything in search engines about it. Ellen's Game of Games is real but there is nothing about a UK Stephen Mulhern version anywhere.
- Game of Games Korea: nominated at AfD; notified Farrel Alfaro Ho (talk · contribs) 09:50, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a hoax as well. "게임 오브 게임 코리아" yields zilch. Jeon So-min and Jessi are huge in Korea so, if this did exist, it would not be hard to find reliable media sources. Do not draftify this. Just get rid of it.
- Œīîto: nominated at AfD; notified Begunpyrex (talk · contribs) 09:57, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Wirya Kumandra: nominated at AfD; notified Sam Bio (talk · contribs) 13:34, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence that this player meets our inclusion criteria. They have a profile page on Sport.de, World Football, Soccerpunter and Soccerway, all of which are effectively blank. An Indonesian source search comes up with some minor blog coverage and only a smidgen of news coverage. I found nothing better than this Bola article, which basically just mentions him in passing and says he didn't play a game all season. Looks like he fails WP:GNG and likely fails WP:NFOOTBALL too.
- Dharmathma (1988 film): nominated at AfD; notified Bhushan m bhandari (talk · contribs) 18:50, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Win Saagar: nominated at AfD; notified Aman3698 (talk · contribs) 21:59, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Slut Boy Billy: nominated at AfD; notified Billy Affou (talk · contribs) 12:52, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY on a non-notable rapper who fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG. Only decent source is Ghana Web, which is totally insufficient on its own.
- Kamyar Karimi: nominated at AfD; notified Azim kami (talk · contribs) 16:29, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The news articles are posted by contributors/users rather than by journalists; for example, HBTV Ghana states News Ghana is not responsible for the reportage or opinions of contributors published on the website.IRNA and Tabnak are both examples of WP:YOUNGATH and there is nothing better found about this sportsperson in a WP:BEFORE search.Also, his careers in acting and music aren't notable, so he also doesn't pass WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSICIAN.
- Bima Alfareza: nominated at AfD; notified Simartampua (talk · contribs) 22:44, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This player still fails WP:NFOOTBALL as he has never played a game of football at senior level. Apart from the one Tribun News reference, the sources are passing mentions only. The Tribun News coverage is not enough for a WP:GNG pass on its own.I did some Google searches and an Indonesian source search and stumbled upon a few Wikipedia mirrors and passing mentions in U17 match reports such as Waspada. I found one article on him in Bola Sport but it's just a transfer announcement with only a small amount of coverage.Generally, the GNG pass would need to be quite clear cut for us to keep an article on a footballer that never played a game. I'm not seeing enough coverage here to justify this. Most of the trivial youth coverage is a violation of WP:YOUNGATH as well.
- PickupAlpha: nominated at AfD; notified Abracadabra4201 (talk · contribs) 22:56, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I feel that this company does not meet WP:NCORP. The Yahoo! article is promotional and reads like a press release and looks like one. Besides, the coverage is not sufficient enough to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. The other references used are all primary sources and, therefore, fail to establish notability.I could not find any in-depth coverage or analysis of this company in my WP:BEFORE search.
- North Lancashire and District Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Doctor Jimmy (talk · contribs) 21:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Guildford and Woking Alliance League in that it does not meet WP:FOOTYN, the WikiProject guideline, and WP:GNG, the main guideline. Google News and Google Books are both coming back with very little. The best I could find were Westmorland Gazette, LG1 and LG2 all of which are examples of trivial, local coverage. Searching newspaper archives for "North Lancs Football League" and "North Lancashire and District Football League" returns nothing better than basic results and fixture listings, the occasional AGM writeup and a bunch of articles which barely mention the league.
- Carter Malik: nominated at AfD; notified Franziska101 (talk · contribs) 09:03, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged as a notability concern, WP:BASIC does look doubtful. References fail to indicate notability. Nothing better found in a WP:BEFORE search. The article has existed for 11 years but I'm struggling to see why it hasn't been given a PROD or AfD as the only claim to notability is being founder of a non-notable organisation and being married to someone of questionable notability. Best source I can find is this, which contains two photos submitted by her.
- Ricardo Dinanga: nominated at AfD; notified MrHorse1982 (talk · contribs) 10:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Draft:Ricardo Dinanga already exists so that should be kept. Currently does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and no guarantee of passing it in the future as there are many players that sign for a professional club but never play. In terms of coverage, I found one decent hype article in the local Cork press. The rest just seems to be passing mentions in Cork match reports and routine announcements of his transfer to Coventry, which consensus would have as routine coverage and not sufficient for WP:GNG purposes.
- Bilal Sayoud: nominated at AfD; notified Skyblueshaun (talk · contribs) 10:39, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted in Nov 2017 at AfD in a rare case back then where the WP:GNG failure took priority over the borderline passing of WP:NFOOTBALL. This was then recreated in Dec 2017 despite the deletion consensus.I would like to relist this for deletion again for the following reasons. The NFOOTBALL pass is still extremely weak. He has 16 mins of professional football to his name; this was an inconsequential cameo appearance in a cup game. His career thereafter has been played at amateur level and he is currently playing at least 3 tiers below a level that would be considered professional with no indication of any immediate return to the professional game. In terms of [GNG, I can see no indication of any further coverage since the previous discussion. The best sources still appear to be a Coventry Telegraph Under-21 match recap, which contains a couple of sentences about him, and a [Coventry Telegraph routine announcement about signing a two-year contract].This does not meet the high bar that Wikipedia sets for a WP:BLP in terms of notability and significant in-depth coverage.
- 2019–20 Vasas SC season: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 11:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was kept on procedural grounds at the previous AfD because I bundled too many articles together and some of the other seasons had a claim to notability. In terms of Vasas' season, there is still no indication of a WP:GNG pass. I've tried to see if some of the individual matches gained some significant national-level coverage. For one of their games against Soroksár, I found Origo and the league's own website, both of which are just weekly match round ups which address the game in passing. For one of the matches with a less impressive scoreline, against Tiszakécske, I found nothing better than a Magyar Futball stats page. Searching the archives of Nemzeti Sport yielded nothing more than passing mentions for this season such as this and this.
- Rakibul Hasan Mahmud: nominated at AfD; notified রাকিবুল হাসান মাহমুদ (talk · contribs) 19:05, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Hoax article. It is alleged that he is a Jack of all trades and has starred in all of these blockbusters but he hasn't. All of the cited sources are either user-generated or ones that don't mention Rakibul Hasan Mahmud at all. A WP:BEFORE search yielded his own PR (Open PR - blacklisted site) and MENAFN, which has a warning We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the accuracy, content, images, videos, licenses, completeness, legality, or reliability of the information contained in this article. Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:NACTOR, WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG.Please do not draftify this. Draft space is not for non-notable subjects. Just delete it.
- Ankit Singh Jadon: nominated at AfD; notified Vikki cric (talk · contribs) 09:53, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- 2016 PSIS Semarang season: nominated at AfD; notified Luthfi Waskitojati (talk · contribs) 12:21, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A WP:GNG concern. Firstly, I don't see that PSIS' season was covered in depth in any way. Secondly, I am not seeing any significant coverage of this particular level of Indonesian football to justify having separate season articles for all of its participating teams. Coverage is rarely better than this stats page or this blog entry.
- Amrun Mubarok: nominated at AfD; notified Eternal Shadow (talk · contribs) 12:51, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:GNG failure is far more important than 17 mins of football four years ago. Google News only contains passing mentions from the one match that he played and a couple of squad listings. Nothing better found in an Indonesian source search. Best source is Bola, which contains 3 sentences about him being promoted from U21 to senior Bali squad.
- Anis Jerbi: nominated at AfD; notified Anis Jerbi (talk · contribs) 15:58, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined twice at draft then copied and pasted over. Fails WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE due to a complete lack of coverage from reliable, independent sources. It is also an WP:AUTOBIO, which, while not completely in violation of our policies, is highly frowned upon.
- Ali Zandipour: nominated at AfD; notified Pournia (talk · contribs) 21:14, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG according to sources cited and ones found during a WP:BEFORE search. It's worth noting that WP:NFOOTBALL does not cover futsal so there is no presumption of notability that can be applied to any of his roles (the roles that he has taken in football are far too insignificant to grant automatic notability). Full source analysis to follow, which will include sources that I found myself.
- Nasser Etminan: nominated at AfD; notified Pournia (talk · contribs) 22:29, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Following a Google News search and Iranian source search in the player's native language, I was unable to locate even one example of significant coverage. Therefore, there is no evidence of a WP:GNG pass, as the two cited sources also fail to meet requirements. Futsal players are not eligible for any presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL either and are required to pass GNG to qualify for an article.
- Maziar Amirkhanlou: nominated at AfD; notified Qomcity (talk · contribs) 22:40, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This article relies entirely on a Q&A in a blog and a routine transfer announcement and so notability is not demonstrated. I have conducted a WP:BEFORE search through Google News and through DDG and was unable to find any significant coverage in the player's native language.No evidence can be found to suggest that Amirkhanlou is notable enough to pass WP:GNG and hence warrant an encyclopaedia article about him. Also worth noting that futsal players don't qualify for WP:NFOOTBALL and so absolutely must demonstrate GNG.
- Dancehall Macarena: nominated at AfD; notified Maricalinn1 (talk · contribs) 22:49, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The song does not appear to have been the subject of significant coverage so passes neither WP:NSONG nor WP:GNG. The song has not charted nationally anywhere, it has not received a major award and it has not been performed by multiple notable musicians. In fact, the artist associated with this song doesn't even appear to be notable so redirect isn't even an option nor is merge.

- 2017 Sabah FA season: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 08:52, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats page that was a contested PROD last year but no rationale was provided. I still don't see how this meets WP:GNG. It is cited entirely to blogs and a now-dead stats website. For reference, the coverage cited was like this for each match, so no significant analysis or even a basic match report, just stats. I chose two matches at random to see if I could find a match report but was unsuccessful. For Kuantan v Sabah, I found Sofascore and Besoccer. For Perlis v Sabah, I found the same sources as above again and also Live Result and Soccerway.This is basic, bare minimum stats coverage that any football game receives and is not at all indicative of significant coverage which is required to address the topic directly and in significant detail.
- Jacob Mensah: nominated at AfD; notified MaddoxHo (talk · contribs) 20:14, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Attempted to draftify but failed as Draft:Jacob Mensah already exists. Subject does not currently pass WP:NFOOTBALL as has never played in a game between two clubs playing in a league listed at WP:FPL. Coverage to date seems to be mostly brief transfer announcements and passing mentions in Dorset Echo match reports so WP:GNG does not appear to be met as of typing this.
- Frank Cogliano: nominated at AfD; notified Frankcogliano (talk · contribs) 18:58, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An autobiography that does not meet WP:BASIC as sources do not show significant coverage of him and does not meet any of the three criteria listed at WP:ANYBIO. Also does not meet any aspect of WP:COMPOSER as has never written for a notable composition nor written for one that has won in a major competition. His work is not cited as influential anywhere nor does he appear at reasonable length in any standard reference books.
- Masoud Ayazipour: nominated at AfD; notified Qomcity (talk · contribs) 18:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the references establish anything towards WP:GNG and I found nothing better in his native language on DDG or Google News. The best sources appear to be Tasnim News and Irna, both of which mention him only once. Also worth noting that futsal players are not given any presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL.
- Hashem Farajzadeh: nominated at AfD; notified Pournia (talk · contribs) 18:44, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Coverage is weak and does not meet WP:GNG requirements. Google News and DDG searches in his native language failed to yield anything better than a transfer announcement and a small bunch of squad list mentions. Barely anything better than Isna was located. Several articles where he is mentioned only once do not add up to a passing of GNG. Futsal players are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL either, even if they claim to be professionals.
- Moch. As'ari: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 19:33, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing in 3 fixtures, his total game time was 59 minutes, less than one game of football in terms of playing time. This, in my view, is a fairly weak passing of WP:NFOOTBALL and there is clear consensus among the Wikipedia community that all sportspeople are required to satisfy WP:GNG. I attempted many searches, including an Indonesian source search, and including variations in the spelling of his name, but was unable to find any in-depth coverage addressing him directly and in detail. Nothing that we can build a meaningful and substantial biography from.
- 2021 WMF World Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Amara94 (talk · contribs) 20:27, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Outside of minifootball.com and wmfworldcup.com, I can find barely any coverage of this event. I found a passing mention in The Star News but hardly anything else. Recreated immediately after being sent to draft. I'm not even sure that WMF World Cup is notable as a topic as a whole either but I'll leave that to a different discussion.In short, no evidence that WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT are met as far as my searches are going.
- Otar Dzagnidze: nominated at AfD; notified GeoRugby (talk · contribs) 16:33, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to be a notable rugby player. U20 fixtures do not count towards WP:NRU presumed notability and I can find nothing better than trivial mentions in RTE and Irish Examiner, which fail to meet the requirements of WP:GNG.
- Davit Meskhi: nominated at AfD; notified GeoRugby (talk · contribs) 16:55, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NRU according to ESPN, All Rugby and Ultimate Rugby; no full caps for Georgia and no appearances in a league listed at NRU. I couldn't find any coverage even when doing a Russian source search so no indication of meeting WP:GNG.
- Giorgi Tskitishvili: nominated at AfD; notified Muletamagica (talk · contribs) 17:10, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article makes no claim to meeting WP:NRU since Fédérale 1 is the French 4th tier, an amateur competition. Netherlands isn't a high-performance union so, even if he did ever gain a cap for them, it wouldn't make him notable. His All Rugby profile is empty and this article contains one tiny paragraph on him, I couldn't find anything better than that so I'm not seeing WP:GNG.
- Goga Khuroshvili: nominated at AfD; notified Ckavel (talk · contribs) 18:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Mikheil Babunashvili: nominated at AfD; notified GeoRugby (talk · contribs) 18:17, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of passing WP:NRU and coverage seems too weak for WP:GNG; I found nothing better than trivial mentions in Beyond the Gain Line and Marca.
- Revaz Jinjikhadze: nominated at AfD; notified GeoRugby (talk · contribs) 18:47, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NRU as, although he was called up to Georgia once according to Rugby Redefined and Ultimate Rugby, he failed to make even the substitute bench in all three games; see Tonga, Fiji and Japan. At club level, he has only played at semi-pro level. I also couldn't find any coverage that would allow a passing of WP:GNG.
- Adam Emirali: nominated at AfD; notified Jememirali14 (talk · contribs) 20:17, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A barely-sourced biography on a rugby player with no claim to passing WP:NRU and no evidence of passing WP:GNG either; in my searches, the only mention of him anywhere seems to be in someone's Wordpress blog! The article was created in 2013 by someone called Jem Emirali, who is likely a close relation to the subject of the article.
- Alexander Ioannou: nominated at AfD; notified Crazy cypriut (talk · contribs) 20:58, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant coverage of this rugby player at all; Cyprus is not a High Performance Union (I can't find any proof that he played for them anyway) and it appears he didn't play anywhere higher than perhaps the 4th tier of English rugby so he clearly does not meet WP:NRU. I can't find anything towards WP:GNG either in my searches.
- Alun Pugh (rugby union): nominated at AfD; notified KyleReid93 (talk · contribs) 21:36, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Lawrence Macrides: nominated at AfD; notified KyleReid93 (talk · contribs) 21:42, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a rugby player who blatantly fails WP:NRU having never played for a High Performance Union nor in a league listed at NRU. In terms of WP:GNG, I could find nothing more than a squad list in an unreliable blog.
- Indonesia–Vietnam football rivalry: nominated at AfD; notified Cunlu12345 (talk · contribs) 07:21, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Okay, first of all, and somewhat confusingly, this article actually seems to be about a rivalry between Thailand and Vietnam on the most part. All 6 references and most of the table is about those games. Secondly, I can find no evidence whatsoever that these two countries have a strong footballing rivalry that actually warrants an article. According to 11v11, they have played against each other a lot of times but Wikipedia isn't a directory of football results; there needs to be significant coverage of the actual rivalry itself to warrant an article. Thailand v Vietnam and Indonesia v Malaysia are both well-known rivalries but Indonesia v Vietnam isn't one, please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Niels Gotfredsen: nominated at AfD; notified RugbyUrulez (talk · contribs) 19:40, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: DePROD due to playing for Denmark but Denmark is not a High Performance Union so he is not notable on that alone; see WP:NRU. He would be required to meet WP:GNG in any case and I can't see any evidence of that at all. I have run Google searches of his name and found a passing mention on the Danish association page, this simply confirms that he was in the squad for an XV game. A Danish source search only seems to come up with articles on other people of the same name. The one reference provided does prove that he exists but it doesn't show any significant coverage addressing him in depth.
- Konstantinos Kritsikis: nominated at AfD; notified Greco22 (talk · contribs) 19:53, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The previous blanking seems to have been an attempt to get the article deleted. To be honest, I don't think this rugby player is notable. I added one source to basically save this from being a BLP PROD but it's from an unreliable blog and, therefore, unacceptable. WP:NRU does not mention Greece so I can only presume that they are not a High Performance Union and so his alleged caps for Greece do not make him inherently notable.In terms of WP:GNG, I found absolutely no reliable sources on him, even when searching in Greek.
- Tioti Maati Toafa: nominated at AfD; notified Klant01 (talk · contribs) 20:00, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Futsal appearances are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL and Tuvalu are not listed as a High Performance Union so he does not meet WP:NRU. I can't actually find any sources about his rugby career at all and none are provided. All I can find are two sources, both look like blogs, that mention him as a substitute in a futsal match with no depth whatsoever: VFF foot and Futsal4all. I can't find even a smidgen of coverage towards WP:GNG.
- Vedran Brkic: nominated at AfD; notified Terminator2015 (talk · contribs) 20:52, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Barely any coverage even in a Serbian search. Mentioned in passing on his club's website and Rugby Ozone but little anywhere else. Fails WP:GNG as far as I can see and no claim to meeting WP:NRU.
- Rodney Boneparte: nominated at AfD; notified TheMightyPeanut (talk · contribs) 10:46, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Possibly fails WP:GNG and, to my knowledge, referees do not gain automatic notability just for officiating in a professional match. This is at least the rule in football. A South African search comes up with some coverage but it's almost all just passing mentions about games that he assisted with Rugby365, SA Rugby Mag and News24. Does not meet the WP:BASIC element of WP:BIO.
- Roland Kvachadze: nominated at AfD; notified GeoRugby (talk · contribs) 13:14, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The alleged Aurillac appearances were likely at academy level as there is no evidence of them at itsrugby nor anywhere else as far as I can see. With no evidence of WP:NRU being met and nothing in terms of WP:GNG in searches, it doesn't look like Kvachadze meets our notability standards for rugby players.
- Lasha Sajaia: nominated at AfD; notified GeoRugby (talk · contribs) 13:25, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any WP:GNG-level coverage of him and itsrugby and Ultimate Rugby only list activity at youth level so WP:NRU doesn't appear to be met either. The Racing appearances in the infobox, if they are correct at all, are likely to be in references to academy appearances rather than senior as I can't find anything to support an appearance for Racing.
- Mehdi Hassanzadeh: nominated at AfD; notified Pournia (talk · contribs) 14:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Professional or otherwise, futsal players are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL. I conducted searches on Google News and DDG in Persian and the best sources found were a one sentence announcement in Futsal Camp regarding a doping ban and a squad list mention in IRNA.
- Katie Offer: nominated at AfD; notified Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk · contribs) 18:02, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Camellia Productions: nominated at AfD; notified Bobby Sen (talk · contribs) 12:04, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Companies are required to pass WP:NCORP. Please note that this has been sent to draft twice; Draft:Camellia Productions and Draft:Camellia Productions (2) so I don't believe that sending an identical copy there for a third time will achieve anything. The best sources that I can find are Telegraph India and TOI, both of which are passing mentions, failing WP:CORPDEPTH and Spotboye, which publishes the occasional article where a tweet by Camellia Productions is copied and pasted, this violates WP:ORGIND. This therefore fails the primary criterion of NCORP, which is that A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
- Dimitrije Terzic: nominated at AfD; notified Terminator2015 (talk · contribs) 17:35, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article has lasted a long time and, although there is some coverage of him, I don't think that it's enough to pass WP:GNG. I found a match report of a game against an English club but I don't think that will get him through GNG or WP:NRU. There was then another article on the same website. Rugby Ozone also mentions him in a match report. A DDG search came up with no other sources that could be used to build a biography.
- Alison Norrington: nominated at AfD; notified Vpisteve (talk · contribs) 17:47, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to be a recreation of an article on an author deleted in 2012. She does not appear to pass WP:AUTHOR. In these cases, sometimes we can redirect/merge to the company that she owns but Storycentral doesn't seem notable enough for an article of its own either. I can't find any significant coverage of any of the five novels that she has released. The best thing I can find in terms of WP:SIGCOV is this article in The Independent, which is a passing mention.
- Samantha Spackman: nominated at AfD; notified Camw (talk · contribs) 18:04, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to pass WP:GNG; I have tried Google searches and also searching under Samantha Spackman and Sam Spackman and even Sammy Spackman in an attempt to find significant coverage of this footballer.Best sources appear to be My Football, Illawarra Mercury and TWG, all of which only address Spackman in passing.
- Tuğba Babacan: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:46, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A Turkish source search mostly produces user-generated websites and hits about namesakes. The best coverage appears to be a match report in ITV Haber and an article in Birgun but this falls short on WP:GNG.
- János Tompa: nominated at AfD; notified Jankec666 (talk · contribs) 20:07, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tiszakécske FC were not a top tier club at any point during the time in which he allegedly played for them so there isn't any assertion of passing WP:NFOOTBALL. In terms of WP:GNG, searching his name in conjunction with his year of birth and Tiszakécske yields no valid results. Searching his name alone only gives unrelated results about chess and historic figures of the same name.
- DJ MITHUN: nominated at AfD; notified Hemontojoy (talk · contribs) 20:14, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article on a DJ with no reliable sources and nothing better found in a WP:BEFORE search. Two of the press releases are word-for-word identical and contain warnings such as This post has been self-published on Youth Ki Awaaz by M AUDIOFX. Just like them, anyone can publish on Youth Ki Awaaz. and, in fact, they appear to have been submitted by the record label that is promoting this DJ. Clear failure of WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO as far as I can see. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion for DJs struggling to get exposure.
- WMF World Cup U23: nominated at AfD; notified Amara94 (talk · contribs) 20:21, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: minifootball.com, minifootball.eu and wmfworldcup.com are all run by the World Minifootball Federation and so fail the requirement of WP:GNG to have coverage that is independent of the subject. I found a routine announcement in Tasnim News but nothing better in my searches, sadly.
- Sahnil Bhatnagar (Indian Tv Actor): nominated at AfD; notified Sparta67 (talk · contribs) 20:41, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Sahnil Bhatnagar is salted. In searches, I can find some coverage but it's also highly promotional articles written by 'Brand Buzz' instead of a proper journalist. He doesn't seem to pass WP:NACTOR as the only possibly notable role is in Warrior High but there's no evidence of the multiple notable roles required. Definitely not seeing WP:GNG either.Also see history at Draft:Sahnil Bhatnagar.
- Zeshan Khan (Actor): nominated at AfD; notified Ahmad.bzu (talk · contribs) 10:40, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The preferred locations Zeshan Khan and Zeshan Khan (actor) are both salted hence why this has been posted under an incorrect title. I can't evidence of any notable roles so WP:NACTOR appears to be failed. I also can't find any evidence towards WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG.We may wish to consider WP:SALT here as well if consensus determines him to be non-notable.
- Anydos: nominated at AfD; notified Mutewisps (talk · contribs) 12:55, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The relevant guideline here is WP:NCORP. In my searches, I was unable to locate any coverage from reliable, independent sources that meet the requirements of WP:CORPDEPTH and there are no valid references presented in the article itself. The best that I could find was Kev's Best but this is an article on the founder and doesn't have any focus on the company.As a record label, this doesn't meet WP:NMUSIC as it's not one of the more important indie record labels.
- Sebastian Serediuc: nominated at AfD; notified Dragos411 (talk · contribs) 13:29, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can only really find passing mentions and brief transfer announcements relating to him, so I'm not seeing a WP:GNG pass yet. His appearances to date are in the 3rd tier of Spain and 3rd tier of Romania (also no sources support any Romanian appearances) so WP:NFOOTBALL doesn't seem to be met. Currently on the books of a 2nd tier Romanian team so it's not even one of those cases where he's near enough guaranteed to be notable any time soon.
- The Cabin House: nominated at AfD; notified Hanjaf1 (talk · contribs) 09:40, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Tri Setyo Nugroho: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 10:30, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has played 13 mins of football, which, by consensus, is a very weak presumption of notability. An Indonesian source search brought up results on unrelated people only. Google searches also brought back plenty of irrelevant results and only the one trivial mention on Tribun News, which is just confirmation that he was an unused substitute. This footballer is required to pass WP:GNG but I can't find any evidence to support a pass.
- Bryan Panjaitan: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmy Prince (talk · contribs) 11:05, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite the plethora of references present in the article, all of them fail verification as none of them actually mention him even once! An Indonesian source search and Google searches all fail to yield a valid result. As things stand, no evidence of passing WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. More than likely, an autobiography that evaded detection back in 2011, when notability criteria were not as strict.
- Duani Pasatria: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 11:29, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Playing 4 mins of professional football is, by consensus, a very, very weak presumption of notability; a presumption that has been proved invalid on a number of occasions. The best coverage I can find is a trivial mention in a local Gresik paper, basically stating that he is now a coach of a 3rd tier Indonesian side. I also found an old match report in Bola, which contains a passing mention of him. There is nothing here that establishes him as a notable sports figure as per WP:GNG, though.
- Anjaam (2022 film): nominated at AfD; notified 119.160.116.60 (talk · contribs) 12:06, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Possible hoax? Despite having an all-star cast and all-star music producers, I can't find a single source about this film. Fails WP:NFF as far as I can see.
- Max Brewer: nominated at AfD; notified StueyMc (talk · contribs) 12:54, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Possible WP:TOOSOON as I can't find anything more than a few passing match report mentions in the Oxford Mail so I don't see WP:GNG yet. I also don't think he qualifies for WP:NRU whilst only playing in the academy.
- Class M planet: nominated at AfD; notified SnappingTurtle (talk · contribs) 15:44, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar articles on Star Trek planets and ways of classifying have been deleted before, with fairly clear consensus; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Star Trek planets (A–B) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Star Trek planet classification. I am concerned that this topic is still not notable enough in line with WP:GNG. The WP:PLOT element of WP:NOT also applies and was cited in previous discussions.
- Alexandra Walker: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 21:09, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD removed without explanation. The rationale was Nothing at ITF or WTA that would pass WP:NTENNIS. Summer Universiade doesn't count towards NTENNIS either. Also unable to find the multiple detailed sources required to pass WP:GNG.This remains valid. In addition, I would say that being chair of tennis at Millfield School isn't a claim to notability either, especially since that school isn't even notable enough for an article itself.
- Susi Bensch: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 21:12, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD removed but without any reason being given. Rationale was Competing in the Summer Universiade, a student event, does not satisfy WP:NTENNIS or WP:SPORTCRIT. Best achievement otherwise is being a finalist in a 10K event. I can't find any coverage that would satisfy WP:GNG either, more importantly. As far as I can tell, this remains valid.
- Kieran McKechnie: nominated at AfD; notified Johnelwaq (talk · contribs) 09:11, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has played 24 mins in a league not listed as fully professional on WP:FPL so doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL. More importantly, I'm not seeing a WP:GNG pass either. McKechnie requires significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. The only decent coverage I can find is one article in Rangers News, which is not the best source and, in any case, is only one source.
- Arron Lyall: nominated at AfD; notified Johnelwaq (talk · contribs) 09:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL and searches under both 'Aaron Lyall' and 'Arron Lyall' do not yield any significant coverage in line with WP:GNG. The only possible ATD would be a move to draft space, however, the article is over 3 months old so I didn't feel it appropriate to send to draft myself. Deletion is also a valid option, in my view, as future notability is never guaranteed. Best coverage appears to be a loan announcement in Press and Journal and two sentences in Daily Record relating to a goal scored in a testimonial against Crusaders.
- Kemal Pasha (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified 79.213.85.174 (talk · contribs) 10:05, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence that he ever played in Liga 1 (Indonesia) anywhere. Also couldn't find anything to suggest a cap for Indonesia while searching at National Football Teams, which, in my view, is the most reliable source on that subject. There is, therefore, not any clear indication anywhere that he actually meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Searches of his name in conjunction with the small amount of info given about him in this article are only coming back with Wikipedia mirrors so I can't see how WP:GNG is met.
- Davood Shirali: nominated at AfD; notified Azim kami (talk · contribs) 11:23, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Lacks the multiple significant roles in notable productions to pass WP:NACTOR nor is there any indication of anything innovative or unique about his career (please note that having a large fanbase is now deprecated). In addition, every source cited is a database profile page or a passing mention in a long list of actors. Searches in Persian here and here failed to yield anything that would indicate a WP:GNG pass.
- Rifat Hasan Rabbi: nominated at AfD; notified Rif.Rifat (talk · contribs) 14:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The awards would probably prevent a WP:A7 deletion and, although clearly written with intent to promote, it isn't blatant enough for a WP:G11 either. That being said, I found absolutely nothing in a WP:BEFORE and the provided references are all social media and self-published sources. YouTube videos don't demonstrate notability nor does having an Amazon Music or SoundCloud page. Absolutely anyone can get those. This clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Do not send this to draft, just remove it.
- Manchester United 2021-22 Current Squad: nominated at AfD; notified Chats90 (talk · contribs) 14:50, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD contested with reasoning No Wikipedia page is covering appearances as a collective and contract dates. For that reason, it should be allowed to stay.Rationale was No need for a stand-alone article on the current squad. Manchester United F.C. covers this perfectly well enough. I also don't see this functioning as a redirect.As far as I can see, this remains valid. The squad can be updated on 2021–22 Manchester United F.C. season as transfers happen. No need for a separate article covering this.
- Tuan Mohd Yaasin Tuan Mohd Hanafiah: nominated at AfD; notified Orahumaira (talk · contribs) 19:36, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: All the cited sources are just trivial mentions. Google News and a Malaysian source search yielded nothing better. Clear consensus from previous referee AfDs that referees are required to satisfy WP:GNG and are not guaranteed an article just for officiating a game or games between two clubs in a fully professional league.
- One Night Only (2014 film): nominated at AfD; notified Chegrant (talk · contribs) 18:11, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Closely related to Love Possibly, which is also at AfD currently. This article was started by Che Grant, who also happens to be the director of the film. I have found the two film festival links in the internet archive: Southampton Film Festival and Fort McMurray Film Festival. I don't think either of these film festivals are notable enough to grant automatic notability to every film that has been nominated at them. A search for published reviews or significant coverage of this film came back with nothing.As far as I can tell, fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG.
- Deals Today: nominated at AfD; notified Frederik Van Lierde (talk · contribs) 18:42, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to find any evidence of a WP:NCORP pass in a search. Provided references are mostly non-independent and also don't address the company in any depth, failing WP:CORPDEPTH requirements.
- Ramadhan Jalil: nominated at AfD; notified Manarianz5 (talk · contribs) 19:09, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD reasoning was (1) This article is blatantly promotional in character. (2) There is insufficient evidence of notability for this amateur footballer. and was applied by User:JBW.Removed by page creator with comment Removed proposed deletion notice. Ramadhan Jalil is not an amateur footballer, he's a proffesional footballer who have played with 1st tier league club in Malaysia (reserve team/u21 squad) and also represented Malaysia U17 and U19 national football team and have played in continental competitions before. He's currently played with fourth division club in Malaysia football league system.Despite what the creator says, youth team appearances do not meet the requirements of WP:NFOOTBALL. There are a lot of references in the article but, upon closer inspection, most of them don't mention Ramadhan at all and, those that do, mention him only once. All of these mentions are youth team squad list mentions so clearly do not meet the requirements of significant coverage as defined clearly at WP:GNG. He is currently playing in the amateur Terengganu Amateur League which is three whole tiers below the professional level in Malaysia.If Ramadhan does not meet GNG then the article absolutely should be deleted regardless of what our personal opinions are of him. I'm happy to do a source assessment table if people would find this useful.
- Pourya Medhati: nominated at AfD; notified Maryam Zahirimehr (talk · contribs) 20:39, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A Persian search yielded no useful results. Almost all of the cited sources don't mention Medhati at all. I can only find him on IMDb, Film Freeway, LinkedIn etc. all of which are unreliable and self-published. He is also a research and he has a Research Gate profile with 2 publications and 18 reads but no citations. I would appreciate if other editors could look into this to see whether he meets WP:NACADEMIC. He definitely fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG without a shadow of a doubt.
- Istok Totić: nominated at AfD; notified Terminator2015 (talk · contribs) 19:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Career in Scotland was only at amateur level and caps for Serbia do not meet the requirements of WP:NRU. The only English language coverage appears to be Greenock Telegraph providing 2 passing mentions. A Serbian search only yields two Rugby Ozone squad list mentions [10] [11] and a squad list mention in Rugby Pobednik. I don't believe that this is enough to pass WP:GNG.
- Javier Clemente Engonga Avomo: nominated at AfD; notified Delreijabir (talk · contribs) 14:48, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any reliable sources about him that would meet the WP:BASIC or WP:GNG guideline. Failing that, he could meet notability through WP:NAUTHOR but all I can find on him are self-published sources and I can't see any clear establishment of notability. He exists because his books are on Amazon and Waterstones but I can't find any in-depth coverage on him or any of his books.
- Nathalia Rossi: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 18:04, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously PROD deleted under Nathália Rossi. I'm still not seeing any improvement in the situation with regards to WP:NTENNIS and WP:GNG so I'm taking it to AfD to establish consensus. According to her WTA, ITF and her German Wikipedia page, she fails NTENNIS as she has only had success in 10K events.In terms of coverage, I found this blog post and this routine match report on a tennis news site. This is far from the depth required for GNG.

[edit]- Ary Pratama: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 13:19, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played only 1 minute of football over 9 years ago and apparently never kicked a ball again. Clear consensus in these cases that WP:GNG is necessary to have an article as any presumption of notability from playing so little football is weak and often invalid. I found nothing about him in Google searches or even an Indonesian source search so can't see how this footballer would meet GNG or that this article can realistically be expanded beyond the one sentence WP:BLP stub that it is.
- The Confession of Freddy Krueger: nominated at AfD; notified XavierEagle (talk · contribs) 14:08, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Future short-film with no indication of notability. I can't find a single reliable source about this film and also nothing about its director Xavier Priadko. See WP:NFF for the criteria for future films. I wouldn't even support draftifying unless anyone can come up with at least one decent source for this.
- George Agathocleous: nominated at AfD; notified KyleReid93 (talk · contribs) 09:38, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NRU as caps for Cyprus are not covered by that guideline. In terms of WP:GNG, I'm struggling to find any evidence of a pass. The best I can find are Parikiaki, Cyprus Mail, Greek Reporter and Cyprus Mail, all of which only mention Agathocleous just once so fail to qualify as significant coverage, which must address the subject in detail.I have tried searching "Γιώργος Αγαθοκλέους" as well with no significant results. Sportspeople are not exempt from our WP:BLP policy so I believe that this article should be deleted.
- Tony Thoma: nominated at AfD; notified KyleReid93 (talk · contribs) 09:47, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Caps for Cyprus not covered by WP:NRU and coverage appears to be too weak to pass WP:GNG; the best I can find are Parikiaki and Cyprus Mail, both of which only provide a trivial mention.I also tried searching "Αντώνης Θωμά" and "Τόνι Τόμα" but couldn't find any significant coverage under either of those.
- Tamás Mester: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 17:29, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Weak presumption of notability arises due to playing in one professional match 10 years ago, however, searches, including a Hungarian source search, and searches in conjunction with the clubs that he played for, did not yield any significant coverage or analysis of Mester. Coverage was largely trivial squad list mentions like Nemzeti Sport here. There is clear consensus that WP:GNG is far more important than any presumption of notability for playing in one professional match.
- Bromley and District Football League: nominated at AfD; notified League Octopus (talk · contribs) 17:44, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The general consensus is that all leagues within the top 11 levels of the English football league system are notable enough for their own article. This league is not part of the football league system at all and is comparable to the recently deleted Halifax and District Association Football League and Guildford and Woking Alliance League.I searched Google Books, Google News, Google Images and ProQuest for coverage under "Bromley and District Football League" and "Bromley and District League" but found very little. Searches in British newspaper archives for Bromley and District Football League and Bromley and District League brought about nothing better than results listings in the hyper-local Bromley & District Times. Please note that the hits relating to Sporting Life appear to be about a different sport entirely.Due to not meeting the benchmark for league notability and for not appearing to pass WP:GNG, I would suggest deletion here.
- Mohammad Kermani: nominated at AfD; notified Kiyaeinejadkoskesh (talk · contribs) 17:53, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No apparent significant coverage available for this player, so fails WP:GNG. Please note that WP:NFOOTBALL does not apply to futsal players, even if they are professional. The two cited sources are both stats profile pages and, in my searches, I could find nothing better than a Tasnim News article, which does nothing more than state that he was his club's top scorer for a season, and this Imna squad list.
- Humrich: nominated at AfD; notified John Patrick Harris (talk · contribs) 22:06, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN; cited sources are self-published or his own paid-for press releases. The creator makes a claim to notability through Spotify popularity but then he only has 17 monthly listeners on there so that seems like a weak claim to notability...
- John Ejoor: nominated at AfD; notified Themaksmedia1 (talk · contribs) 23:06, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Ejoor has only played in the second tier of Nigerian football and an unspecified club in Ukraine so does not appear to pass WP:NFOOTBALL. My searches are only coming back with social media pages and YouTube videos so I'm not seeing WP:GNG either.
- Dru Forbes: nominated at AfD; notified Dru.forbes (talk · contribs) 18:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG; none of the cited sources show significant coverage and I was unable to find anything better myself in my searches.
- Paraskevas Choutris: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 18:51, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as has only played in the 2nd tier of Cypriot football, confirmed by FlashScore as well as the cited Soccerway source. No particularly detailed coverage found in a Greek language search. I've translated the two most promising ones Kerkida and Larnaka but I don't think that this is enough to pass WP:GNG as none of the coverage found would allow us to build a reasonable article on this living person.
- Hossein Rahmani Manesh: nominated at AfD; notified Alirezashahsavandi (talk · contribs) 19:25, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted article that was created by a globally locked account. Clearly fails WP:NACTOR, no debate there. Only unreliable websites when searching in Persian. Some of the results are extremely poor.
- Charis Drakos: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 19:32, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP with a claim to meeting WP:NFOOTBALL but nothing to support this claim. Playmaker Stats, BeSoccer, WF, Tribuna, Soccerpunter and Football Database all have an entry for him but there are no appearances listed at all, with the exception of BeSoccer, which has an U17 Cyprus appearance, which does not confer notability to the subject.Searches in Greek on Google and DDG failed to yield a single good source. The best thing that I could find was this Anorthosis blog (translated), which has a couple of sentences about him playing in a pre-season friendly.Even if this guy does somehow pass NFOOTBALL, his notability is still highly questionable and there is a growing consensus that WP:GNG supersedes NFOOTBALL in such cases anyway.
- Meharab Hasan: nominated at AfD; notified Tanvirnahid565 (talk · contribs) 22:04, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Manoj Dey: nominated at AfD; notified Sandeep Munda797 (talk · contribs) 09:39, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The three cited sources in the article all have a disclaimer at the bottom of the page, which reads Disclaimer: This is a Brand Desk content. Sponsored content is unacceptable and does not count towards WP:GNG. Searching "Manoj Dey" yields many similar sources across a variety of Indian news sources but I was unable to find one that contained significant coverage as well as not being marked as a press release. For this reason, I believe that the article should be deleted for having a lack of independent and reliable coverage about him.
- Christos Efstathiou: nominated at AfD; notified Pavloskadis (talk · contribs) 10:52, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP on a subject who does not appear to meet notability guidelines. A previous version shows that he was playing in the lower divisions of Cyprus except for one loan spell at Omonia, where it is alleged that he played in a cup game (not clear whether it was against a team in the same division or not so may or may not pass WP:NFOOTBALL). These appearances are reflected on Playmaker Stats but, again, they are lower division appearances mostly - there is no further info on the 1 appearance for Omonia so I am unable to verify NFOOTBALL.Searches were made tricky because there is another younger player with the same name. However, a Greek language search did not yield any significant coverage to cover WP:GNG. Even if he somehow does scrape an NFOOTBALL pass, there is consensus within the community that GNG takes priority in such cases as this one.
- List of FIFA Confederations Cup penalty shoot-outs: nominated at AfD; notified Dimitriz (talk · contribs) 18:13, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Following on from a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Lists of penalty shoot-outs, where I raised notability concerns about this topic, I still have some concerns. This is possibly a case of WP:NOTSTATS; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of statistics. Secondly, I'm not sure it meets WP:LISTN as I don't see any evidence that these penalty shoot-outs have been discussed as a group significantly in WP:RS.I don't believe that we've had a discussion on the notability of these lists before, and there are quite a few of them. The only slightly similar discussion that has occurred before was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of national football teams by penalty shootout record. I have decided to nominate the articles for deletion separately as to bundle them would be a WP:TRAINWRECK.
- List of CONCACAF Gold Cup penalty shoot-outs: nominated at AfD; notified Dimitriz (talk · contribs) 18:21, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

I have decided to nominate the articles for deletion separately as to bundle them would be a WP:TRAINWRECK.For this tournament, I can find reports on some of the individual shoot-outs (e.g. 2019 and 2015) but no coverage or analysis of them as a group.
- List of Africa Cup of Nations penalty shoot-outs: nominated at AfD; notified Dimitriz (talk · contribs) 18:44, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Following on from a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Lists of penalty shoot-outs, where I raised notability concerns about this topic, I still have some concerns. This is possibly a case of WP:NOTSTATS; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of statistics. Secondly, I'm not sure it meets WP:LISTN as I don't see any evidence that these penalty shoot-outs have been discussed as a group significantly in WP:RS.Some of the finals have been decided on penalties, most famously 2015 Africa Cup of Nations Final and 1992 African Cup of Nations Final but these have their own articles. Whilst some of the individual matches do receive significant coverage, such as Goal.com on 1992 and 2015, the shoot-outs, as a group, do not appear to have received much in the way of coverage or analysis.
- List of AFC Asian Cup penalty shoot-outs: nominated at AfD; notified Dimitriz (talk · contribs) 18:58, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Following on from a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Lists of penalty shoot-outs, where I raised notability concerns about this topic, I still have some concerns. This is possibly a case of WP:NOTSTATS; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of statistics. Secondly, I'm not sure it meets WP:LISTN as I don't see any evidence that these penalty shoot-outs have been discussed as a group significantly in WP:RS.Due to the wide variety of languages spoken in Asia, it's impossible to do a completely comprehensive WP:BEFORE search. Yet again, I found significant coverage of individual instances, such as Reuters and BBC Arabic but struggled to find any analysis or coverage of them as a group.
- Abdillah El Oufir: nominated at AfD; notified Jhonricke (talk · contribs) 20:00, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale was Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE from the sources presented and from a quick search. The prizes that he is said to have won are not sufficient enough to count as an WP:ANYBIO pass.Contested with Improvement of WP:ANYBIO wish it was removed due to lack of valid information about the prizes that the article says.Still not convinced that there is enough notability here. Source analysis to follow. Nothing decent found in a WP:BEFORE search.
- Template:COVID-19 vaccination sites in South Africa: nominated at TfD; notified TapticInfo (talk · contribs) 08:38, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not a template so has been misplaced. In article space, it would violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of COVID-19 vaccination sites in South Africa.
- Critics of COVID-19 safety measures that have died from COVID-19: nominated at AfD; notified GravisZro (talk · contribs) 09:02, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale was Potentially subjective as to who is a critic of safety measures as, although the media may label someone as such, the person themselves may not identify as such. I'm also struggling to see how there are enough people that would fall into this intersection to make it a worthwhile and encyclopaedic topic.Contested with In the US but there are many individuals that can be added to this page. It can serve as a warning to others in the future for many different reasons.Firstly, it's not Wikipedia's purpose to serve as a warning to those who refuse to wear a mask or refuse to get vaccinated. Whether it's right or wrong, Wikipedia has a policy to maintain a neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV) and this cannot be superseded by any other policy or guideline. I stand by what I wrote when I said that there aren't enough people in this intersection to make it worthwhile to cover them as a list. Not enough notable people anyway. Herman Cain on his own is not enough.Through some digging, I found a few other news stories of people who refused to wear a mask and/or get vaccinated who ended up dying after testing positive for COVID; Leslie Lawrenson, Stephen Karanja, Matthew Keenan and Gary Matthews. With the exception of Karanja, I don't think any of these people would actually pass notability criteria, though. For this to pass WP:LISTN, there would need to be some sort of discussion of these people as a group because at the moment this list is just a synthesis of different news stories.
- Milan Rastovac: nominated at AfD; notified Formerplayer1991 (talk · contribs) 10:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Paula Mateo: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 13:29, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I've been recently pushing to improve these Spanish stubs where possible and proposing deletion for those where there does not seem to be potential to reach the required level. This doesn't even look to be a borderline notable case (like Julia Olmos, Sandra García, Goretti Donaire etc.) in terms of WP:GNG. There is one passing mention in a squad list in Marca, she has a stats page on Aupa Athletic and a profile page on her club's website. That's pretty much it. Even searching in conjunction with the name of the one club that she played for brought up nothing better than a couple of sentences in a Wordpress blog.Her career was entirely during the semi-pro era of Spanish women's football so wouldn't be covered by WP:NFOOTBALL. Ultimately, I can't see this passing our high WP:BLP standards.
- Niko Gkionis: nominated at AfD; notified NJDevils1087 (talk · contribs) 17:29, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst he has played in 5 games in the Belgian 2nd tier, the current version of WP:FPL only includes this league from 2016 onwards, so Gkionis doesn't actually pass WP:NFOOTBALL. This Greek News Online source on its own is good but not enough to pass WP:GNG on its own, as that requires multiple reliable sources addressing him in detail. I have searched "Nicholas Gkionis", "Nick Gkionis" and "Niko Gkionis" and the best that I can find are this blog written by him and this blog post where he is inteviewed. I'm not convinced that the coverage is enough and I also have my doubts about the quality of the sources. Whilst not necessarily a reason to delete the article, I am also concerned about the highly promotional language used throughout the article, indicating that it was either written by Gkionis or someone closely associated with him. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion.
- Evanthis Ioannou: nominated at AfD; notified Zecke1910 (talk · contribs) 17:27, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP with clear notability concerns. In marginal cases such as this one, the weak WP:NFOOTBALL pass is often a poor predictor of WP:GNG. Five years ago, he came on for the last few minutes of one football match and has not played another minute of professional football since. Searches, including those centred on Greek language sources, failed to yield any significant in-depth coverage. The best that I could locate were Kerkida (translated) and Sigma Live, neither of which would allow us to expand this biography beyond the very basic stub that it currently is.
- Aldi Rinaldi: nominated at AfD; notified Hari maung (talk · contribs) 17:57, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-professional/amateur footballer with no concrete evidence to support notability. Football Critic, SofaScore, WF, Soccerpunter, GSA and Soccerway all have no professional appearances listed. There is one cup appearance on Soccerway but it's not between two teams playing in a league listed at WP:FPL, so WP:NFOOTBALL does not appear to be met. In terms of coverage, there are an awful lot of false positives on Google News, due to the fact that there is a journalist with the exact same name. An Indonesian search returned nothing useful. The best source about this particular Aldi Rinaldi appears to be this passing mention in a local paper. Looks like a WP:GNG failure.
- Shahram Sharifzadeh: nominated at AfD; notified Saeedparva (talk · contribs) 19:11, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NFOOTBALL doesn't cover futsal players regardless of whether they are professional or not. Persian searches in Google News, Google and DDG didn't really come up with anything better than match reports and squad lists that mention him once. Clear AfD consensus that this type of coverage doesn't add up to a WP:GNG pass. I did find one mention of him on BBC Persia but it was a passing mention about being invited to a training camp.
- Draft:Quarantene: nominated at MfD; notified Misspelling Wizard (talk · contribs) 21:40, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Redirects to a non-existent article. I believe that this has zero chance of ever being a plausible redirect in mainspace. If it meets a speedy deletion criterion, then that would be preferable. I know that WP:R3 only applies to mainspace redirects.
- Draft:Iracq: nominated at MfD; notified Misspelling Wizard (talk · contribs) 21:55, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: In my opinion, this misspelling of 'Iraq' is not common enough to be a worthwhile redirect. People searching this may actually be expecting articles relating to 'IRACQ [Increased Range ACQuisition]'.
- Minas Karagiorgis: nominated at AfD; notified Lukej (talk · contribs) 18:48, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Ermis were not competing in the top tier in Cyprus when this article alleges that Karagiorgis was playing for them, see RSSSF. As far as I am aware, playing for these American colleges doesn't indicate notability either as the coverage is generally very weak. Searching in English and in Greek, I found nothing better than this passing mention in a Greek American newspaper. The sources cited do not demonstrate WP:GNG and I found nothing better myself. Possibly an autobiography as the creator never showed much interest in editing outside of this article.
- 2019–20 Bayamón FC season: nominated at AfD; notified JavierAlejandro23 (talk · contribs) 16:14, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Amateur season with no indication of notability - WP:GNG concern. Tagged as a notability concern in 2019 - creator removed this without addressing the issue. I've made an honest attempt to see if I could find at least some decent match reports from independent sources; for the game against Caguas I found Soccerway and BeSoccer and barely anything else. Very weak coverage. I then looked to see if the 2-2 draw with GPS had good coverage but found only 777score (blacklisted site) and Soccerway, which didn't even contain squad lists let alone any worthwhile prose coverage. We do have results listings on RSSSF but this is not WP:SIGCOV either.The same creator has created articles on all of their other recent seasons but I haven't assessed those for GNG just yet.
- Bravos Knights FC: nominated at AfD; notified I will remember this username (talk · contribs) 16:31, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything about this club other than some social media posts, YouTube videos and coverage on Socialiga's own website. According to the league's website, this is a casual amateur league. Playing in such a league does not indicate notability and, as far as I can see, they are not eligible for the national cup as they are not part of the league system. More importantly, I found no evidence of a WP:GNG pass.
- Puerto Rican Football Federation Preparatory Tournament: nominated at AfD; notified JavierAlejandro23 (talk · contribs) 17:18, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: One-off friendly/warmup tournament with no evidence of notability. Sources provided are a very brief roundup of the results from the Puerto Rican FA's own website and a very brief announcement that Bayamón won the tournament from the town's own website. DDG search mostly gave us the same coverage and then mentions of tournaments of the same name for other sports, such as basketball. Also barely anything in Google News.WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT do not appear to be met.
- Barbara Sobaszkiewicz: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 14:43, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted due to failure of WP:NTENNIS and WP:GNG after the NTENNIS guidelines were revised to exclude 10k and 25k ITF wins. User:Fyunck(click) raised some excellent points in the previous discussion and, as far as I can see, absolutely nothing has happened since that makes her any more notable than she was before. No Fed Cup appearances and no coverage found in a Polish source search that would count towards GNG.
- SIMBYM Inc: nominated at AfD; notified Jamessmithwriter (talk · contribs) 10:16, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly deleted article on a company that appears to fail WP:NCORP. This version does have some of the WP:G11 language removed and is posted by a different account (as the original one was blocked). The article's only decent source (also available here) is an advert and doesn't satisfy WP:ORGIND. In my WP:BEFORE search I can only find unreliable/user-generated sources on the company such as LinkedIn, CrunchBase, Capterra, Facebook, Twitter etc. Only claim to notability seems to be the claimed connections with Lakshmi Narayanan and M. S. Swaminathan but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and the only source to support these connections seems to be SIMBYM's own website.
- Marko Kapor: nominated at AfD; notified Formerplayer1991 (talk · contribs) 11:50, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Serbia caps are not covered by WP:NRU and references provided are insufficient for WP:GNG. In addition, he has no hits in Google News in Serbian and no coverage through DDG in Serbian. I found a couple of mentions on his own club's website (Pobednik), a couple of mentions on Wordpress blogs, Blogspot blogs and two mentions in Rugby Ozone; one relating to a Serbia Cup fixture and the other relating to a loss to Andorra while playing for Serbia. We hold BLPs to a high standard in terms of GNG and I can't find any evidence to show that Kapor is notable enough.
- Feidias Panayiotou: nominated at AfD; notified Geostavr (talk · contribs) 13:23, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances at Football Database. GSA and Soccerway have him down for one cup game but that was against a team in a lower tier of Cyprus, so no basis for WP:NFOOTBALL from that game. World Football mentions him taking part in two legs of a 16-0 thrashing at the hands of ACF Gloria Bistrița so he does narrowly cross the line for NFOOTBALL. Playmaker Stats has two appearances for the same time period, which I presume to be the same games but it doesn't provide any confirmation. Cyprus FA has no pro appearances listed. Super League Greece has nothing.Google News has no coverage, the article relates to a much more prominent TikToker. Google Images also has next to nothing. A Greek language DDG search contains almost nothing. I did get a couple of passing mentions in the likes of Contra but nothing that addresses him in detail at all. I have done a number of searches and can't find any evidence towards WP:GNG.
- Constantinos Zarnas: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 18:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Nothing on Football Database, World Football, FlashScore, SofaScore, Soccerway or Cyprus FA gives any indication of notability as U21 caps for Cyprus are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL. Even the unreliable Transfermarkt has nothing for him.Greek language searches through DDG and Google turn up nothing of note. There appears to be an assistant referee of the same name who also doesn't appear to be notable enough for an article. I can't see any indication of a WP:GNG pass from any of the above.
- Stavros Zevlaris: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 18:57, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer having only played in the 2nd and 3rd tiers of Cyprus. Has played for Cyprus but only U17, which doesn't confer notability either. Searching "Σταύρος Ζεβλάρης" gets us a passing mention in Kerkida (translated) and a one-sentence injury announcement in Cyprus Times (translated). I also did a DDG search which returned nothing better than a squad list in Kathimerini, none of this shows significant coverage so Zevlaris likely fails WP:GNG.
- Tigam Alif Farisma: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 19:24, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Consensus is now clear that passing WP:GNG is far, far more important than playing as little as 26 mins of professional football over 7 years ago and not playing since. Indonesian search came back with nothing of note. Searching across other search engines, the only thing I can find is an image caption in Tribun News and some database sites like Tribuna and Footballdatabase.eu, which never confer notability on their own. Honestly, that was all I could find.
- Ramina Torabi: nominated at AfD; notified Ebrugundesh (talk · contribs) 20:00, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A version of this article was sent to draft at Draft:Ramina Torabi as it was a BLP with 20 fake references, all of which led to wiki websites that never existed. The creator has trimmed this down to 12 references, all of which are still fake wiki websites that never existed. The external links are both genuine but neither establish WP:GNG or WP:NMODEL, I am concerned about Lilit as they state their intention is to promote the artists that they feature. I have searched "رامینا ترابی" as part of a WP:BEFORE but can't find any WP:RS showing clear significant coverage. A lot of the articles are either just passing mentions or simply regurgitating her Instagram pictures or user-generated content.This may well be eligible for WP:G5 speedy deletion soon as an active CU request has been opened at SPI, which is heavily backlogged.
- Peter Bradley (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified DaleCampbell2010 (talk · contribs) 23:20, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for deletion almost immediately after creation in 2010. I'm confused as to what the notability claim is.According to Soccerbase, he does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL as he has only ever appeared in the NIFL Premiership, the SJFA West Region Premiership, Scottish League Two and Scottish League One, none of which are listed at WP:FPL. I found one article in Daily Record, which is basically a transfer announcement with a lengthy quote from the player. On its own, it isn't enough for WP:GNG, especially considering that NFOOTBALL isn't met. I have searched in ProQuest and other search engines, using his name in conjunction with clubs that he has played for, and found little else. Trivial mentions in Glasgow Times and Cumnock Chronicle match reports do nothing to support a notability claim.
- Nicolás Dul: nominated at AfD; notified Orahumaira (talk · contribs) 20:56, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Neither the Torneo Federal A (regionalised Argentine 3rd tier) nor the Malaysia Premier League (2nd tier despite the name) are listed at WP:FPL so there is no evidence of WP:NFOOTBALL here; also supported by FlashScore as well as Soccerway. No other databases seem to have Dul.In terms of WP:GNG, I was unable to find any significant coverage from the cited sources nor from Google searches or even when searching through Argentine sources and Malaysian sources. All I could find was this transfer announcement, with two sentences about him, that does nothing to establish notability.
- Linnéa Ågren: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 22:48, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer that does not appear to meet WP:GNG. In Google searches and a Swedish source search, I found only a match report mention and two passing mentions in a Swedish football blog. I can't find any coverage that would pass any reasonable interpretation of 'significant coverage'.
- Esther Hernández (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 19:52, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As part of my attempt to address the significant number of one-sentence BLP stubs on female Spanish footballers, I have tried to locate and add sources to many articles recently and listed some for deletion when a source search was not successful. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be even one of those borderline cases like Andere Leguina or Raquel Pinel. I have tried a number of searches, including using her nickname and in conjunction with the two clubs that she played for. With such a brief career, it doesn't look like she accumulated enough coverage to meet the bare minimum of WP:GNG. I found some trivial mentions in Marca match reports like this but you can't build a substantial article from stuff like that.
- Patricia Gudiel: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 21:37, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: With no significant coverage found in Spanish sources for "Patricia Gudiel" or Patxi Gudiel or Pachi Gudiel, it's hard to see any way in which this could be expanded significantly beyond the one-sentence BLP that it currently is. Match report coverage like this and minor Blogspot coverage is insufficient for WP:GNG.
- Kingston and District Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Veggiepunk (talk · contribs) 22:26, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The general consensus is that all leagues within the top 11 levels of the English football league system are notable enough for their own article. This league operates at level 14 and below and is comparable to the recently deleted Halifax and District Association Football League and Guildford and Woking Alliance League.Google News and Google Books coverage is largely in passing and from sources that are not independent from the organisation and its teams. Although there are some relevant hits in British newspapers for Kingston and District League and Kingston and District Football League, the first few pages all appear to be just simple results listings and brief roundups, often only taking up a very small fraction of the page of the newspaper, all of which are hyperlocal ones like West Surrey Times and Surrey Advertiser, indicating that the topic is not notable enough for a global encyclopaedia, which doesn't wish to show any unnecessary bias. WP:INDISCRIMINATE also applies.
- WMF World Cup U23: nominated at AfD; notified Amara94 (talk · contribs) 12:48, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has about 5 more sources than the previous version so technically not eligible for speedy deletion, however, concerns around WP:GNG have not been addressed and another WP:BEFORE search still only yields trivial announcements about this youth tournament which do not establish notability. Does not pass WP:SPORTSEVENT. New source assessment to follow.
- Alberto Alcázar: nominated at AfD; notified KharmaJoy (talk · contribs) 11:54, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Probable autobiography with no evidence of notability found in a WP:BEFORE search. I can't find any coverage of his roles relating to composing music for these obscure indie games and I can't find any independent coverage of his career as a musician or as an actor. I can't see any criteria at WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSICIAN that he actually meets. A lot of the references used to support notability don't mention Alcázar at all, which is bizarre. The only thing I'm not too sure about is video game composer notability standards, so I would appreciate if someone from WP:VG could weigh in and confirm whether he can be presumed notable for that, since it looks like he fails everything else. Source analysis for WP:GNG to follow.
- Miko Ardianto: nominated at AfD; notified Danisamsoel (talk · contribs) 15:25, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A player with no apparent senior professional appearances, so not passing WP:NFOOTBALL. Also no evidence of WP:GNG. Indonesian searches of Miko Ardianto and Miko Ardiyanto yielded nothing better than pre-match squad listings and match reports for U21 fixtures that only offer a passing mention at best.
- Ankit Jaiswal: nominated at AfD; notified Ajankit25 (talk · contribs) 15:52, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Seyed Ebrahim Amerian: nominated at AfD; notified Azim kami (talk · contribs) 16:59, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously speedy deleted article on a producer who does not appear to meet any criteria under WP:CREATIVE, the award is not enough for WP:ANYBIO and the coverage falls short on WP:GNG. Nothing better found in a WP:BEFORE search in Persian. Will likely be WP:G5 eligible; SPI significantly backlogged so will take a while to get to the case that has only just been logged today.Full source analysis to follow.
- Adolf Miesz: nominated at AfD; notified Almgerdeu (talk · contribs) 19:02, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created by a block-evading sock, however, has had good faith edits by editors in good standing so not eligible for a speedy deletion. That being said, referees are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL and there is nothing here to support a case for meeting WP:GNG, as only database entries are cited. A search of Austrian sources only yields more databases like World Referee and Austria Soccer, which do not indicate notability. Nothing better found when altering the preference to German sources. Has an article in Hungarian Wikipedia too but that is also only sourced to indiscriminate databases.
- Gerry Clarke: nominated at AfD; notified Rovers Forever (talk · contribs) 19:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer that has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL and with no evidence to support a WP:GNG claim. Notability tagged since 2018. Created by a now indef blocked account with multiple promotional edits by IPs along the way. I've attempted the following searches:
- Ireka Chigozie Bethel: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 19:44, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:BLP on a footballer with practically no evidence towards WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. Even if someone can provide evidence for the former, he would still need to ultimately pass the latter to have a stand-alone article as per the FAQ at the top of NFOOTBALL. Searching the footballer's name shows only Wikipedia mirrors so this looks like a comprehensive failure of GNG.
- Steffen Bakker: nominated at AfD; notified Jlbakker (talk · contribs) 21:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Notability tagged for 5 years, article has stood for 11 years without a valid source. For a WP:BLP, this is unacceptable. I have checked Soccerway, Tribuna, FlashScore and BeSoccer and not found any senior appearances that would meet the requirements of WP:NFOOTBALL nor any evidence that he is likely to meet NFOOTBALL any time in the near future. In addition, a search of Dutch sources yields some coverage but it's mostly trivial stuff and from non-independent sources such as Groningen's own website. The best independent source looks to be Tweenul, which does not contain enough detail for a WP:GNG pass. Also, GNG would require multiple sources showing detailed coverage. If the required sources are found, please ping me.
- Chad Becker: nominated at AfD; notified Walk87314 (talk · contribs) 22:44, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Notability tagged for 4 years. I'm not an expert in the American soccer leagues so pardon me if I've missed something but from looking at Soccerway, Soccerpunter and World Football, it doesn't look like Becker meets WP:NFOOTBALL. This local source is in-depth but WP:GNG requires multiple sources and I can't find anything else that goes anywhere near the depth required elsewhere.
- LabShare: nominated at AfD; notified AmmarMismar (talk · contribs) 08:45, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly declined draft at Draft:LabShare. Copied and pasted to mainspace in an identical form. Recent start-up with concerns around WP:NCORP. Most of the references are just the usual company profile pages on databases. Startup Reporter is largely built on comments from the company CEO Bakos so fails WP:ORGIND. Forbes is largely an interview with the CEO so has a similar issue. They did win a competition for start-up companies, which gains some coverage in Origo, Hir and Blikk but all of this falls short on WP:CORPDEPTH.
- 2019 Kerteh F.C. season: nominated at AfD; notified Manarianz5 (talk · contribs) 10:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 4th tier Malaysian season with no evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG and does not gain any presumed notability from WP:NSEASONS either.
- Adamos Efstathiou: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 10:44, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has two appearances on Football Database but neither of them meet WP:NFOOTBALL. On his Soccerway, we have his domestic cup appearance here but PAEEK were not playing in the 2012–13 Cypriot First Division so this was not between two teams in a league listed at WP:FPL. World Football has the European substitute appearance but it was against a Maltese side so, again, not between two FPL teams.Searching "Αδάμος Ευσταθίου" comes up with articles on namesakes, mainly the general secretary of AC Omonia. Articles on this Efstathiou are very limited. The best I could find are Kerkida (translated), Sigma Live and Cyprus Basket none of which are even close to showing the depth of coverage required for WP:GNG.
- Natalie Brewer: nominated at AfD; notified 8lgm (talk · contribs) 11:11, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Only played in the semi-pro era of English football. Tagged as a notability concern for over 11 years with only one independent source, a passing mention in BBC Sport - a match report for a game in which she was sent off. Searches of her name in conjunction with the clubs that she played for yield nothing better than more passing mentions in match reports for that one fixture where she was one of four players red carded; Guardian and Lancashire Telegraph. Although the sources are reliable, they do not show significant coverage, in other words, they do not address Brewer in sufficient depth such that we can build a reasonable biographical article on the player from the sources alone. Taking to AfD to establish consensus for long-term WP:GNG concern.
- Sargon Cicek: nominated at AfD; notified Kianosh83 (talk · contribs) 12:00, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability for 10 years. A Swedish search only yields weak passing mentions, which don't establish WP:GNG. Fotball only covers appearances in Oddsenligaen, the third tier in Norway. Soccerway only has him down for the third tier in Sweden, Ettan Fotboll. Neither of these are listed at WP:FPL.
- Killian Coquard: nominated at AfD; notified BaDdIs (talk · contribs) 16:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. Notability tagged for 9 years. Very often someone who passes WP:NFOOTBALL can be presumed to pass WP:GNG but there is consensus now that in marginal cases, this presumption isn't valid. This appears to be one of those cases. According to BeSoccer, he did play 30 minutes in an end-of-season fixture for Vannes in Ligue 2, after which his career dropped all the way down to the amateur 5th tier of France and below. According to Football Database, he last played for Questembert, who are way, way below professional level. A French source search shows nothing better than the occasional local amateur match report mention so any presumption of passing GNG appears to be invalid.
- Denis Mayélé: nominated at AfD; notified BaDdIs (talk · contribs) 16:33, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Amateur footballer who played literally just one minute of professional football over 10 years ago in Ligue 2 then, according to Football Database, dropped down to the 5th and 6th tiers, both of which are regional and amateur. A French source search and Google searches only show passing mentions in local match reports, meaning that any presumption of WP:GNG based on his one minute of football appears to be invalid.
- Osee Diboma: nominated at AfD; notified Ahrimann (talk · contribs) 17:01, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article has existed for 11 years but has had multiple issues for the whole time. Article alleges that he was part of the Kadji Sports Academy and in the company of notable footballers like Nicolas Nkoulou, Samuel Eto'o and Georges Mandjeck. Even if this is true, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. The club that he apparently played for, Nara United F.C., was not playing in the top tier at the time so he wouldn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL even if this could be verified. A Thai source search only yields Wikipedia mirrors. I will tag this AfD in the 'Thailand' delsort just in case anyone more proficient in Thai finds something in the Thai language version of his name.I can find no coverage of his trial with Auxerre, the controversy surrounding his visa or his supposed association with some of the most prominent Cameroonian footballers of that era and, ultimately, I can't find any clear proof that he meets WP:GNG since every search I attempt just comes back with mirrors.
- Tom Loizides: nominated at AfD; notified KyleReid93 (talk · contribs) 19:21, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence that he ever made a professional, senior appearance for Saracens F.C. or London Irish, which would not only qualify him for WP:NRU but likely WP:GNG as well. In the absence of evidence, it can't be presumed that he meets either guideline. The best I can find is a passing mention in a Cypriot sports blog and a database entry, which contains merely a name and DOB. Caps for Cyprus do not count towards WP:NRU.
- Marcus Holden: nominated at AfD; notified 212.31.99.2 (talk · contribs) 19:51, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Notability concern as well as blatant COI concern with edits/hijackings like this edit. There has been an edit war about him being New Zealand or England born but no reliable sources to support either. The problem with these low-profile sports BLPs is it's really hard to tell whether any of the info is actually true or not and this is one of the reasons why I don't think that they should have an article. Playing for semi-pro Stirling County RFC and non-High Performance Cyprus does not count towards WP:NRU in any case. None of the cited sources provide significant coverage of Holden; appearing in match reports does not confer notability. Statements about his playing style are unsourced, unfortunately.Alleged claims to notability through his football career are not supported by any sources and I couldn't find him in any football databases so there is no proof that he has played in the top tier of Cyprus, which would have made him notable. WP:NFOOTBALL not met. Best sources in a search appear to be ones like [12] [13] which are just fairly standard match report mentions.
- Christo Kasabi: nominated at AfD; notified Christokasabi (talk · contribs) 20:06, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY on an amateur rugby player who does not meet WP:NRU or WP:GNG. His club career is played at a level way, way below the professional level and his caps for Cyprus do not count towards NRU either as they are not listed as a High Performance Union.The best sources cited in the article are a transfer announcement and a brief Q&A, none of which really count as significant coverage, where someone other than Kasabi has written about him extensively. I found a couple of hits in searches, this photo caption and this match report. The match report mentions his name in the title but it doesn't actually contain any in-depth coverage of Kasabi at all, just routine coverage. No reason why this amateur sportsperson needs to have their autobiography hosted here. Wikipedia isn't a web host.
- Mustafa Duruer: nominated at AfD; notified CanbekEsen (talk · contribs) 20:21, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to the reliable source Soccerway, he struggled to get any game time even in the amateur third and fourth tiers of Turkey, let alone the top tier, which is the only one at WP:FPL. Nothing found in my searches would indicate a passing of WP:GNG. This source cited in the article is actually about Murat Duruer and only mentions Mustafa once.
- Sarah Eadon: nominated at AfD; notified MTracey1 (talk · contribs) 21:25, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability for over a decade, no claim to notability within the article. No notable or even top tier appearances located within Soccerway or FlashScore. Google searches and a DDG search did not yield anything that would count towards WP:GNG.
- St Agnes A.F.C.: nominated at AfD; notified GuineaSquid (talk · contribs) 15:12, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: They have played in the Cornwall Combination and St Piran Football League (according to FCHD but both of these are below the cut-off point for notability established at WP:FOOTYN. They get a bit of coverage in the Falmouth Packet and other local papers but not enough for WP:GNG in my view.
- Simon Lee Evans: nominated at AfD; notified Banhtrung1 (talk · contribs) 15:24, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability 3 years ago. I can't really see any indication of notability here, referees are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL so do not automatically warrant an article just for officiating an international fixture. The best coverage I can find is Radio1, L'Express and Kerkida, all of which is routine coverage and not WP:SIGCOV.
- Ryan Farrell: nominated at AfD; notified AngelsAndOwls (talk · contribs) 16:22, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Former amateur footballer who is now an academy coach for Bradford City A.F.C. and manager for the Yorkshire football team, none of which is covered by WP:NFOOTBALL. All of the cited sources show just passing mentions or a single brief quote, which is insufficient for WP:GNG. In addition to these sources, I found Esquire, Cornwall Live and Jersey Evening Post but none of that coverage is any good either.
- María José Casamayor: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 09:46, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer that played prior to Primera División being professional. Best source currently used is a contract renewal announcement from her club's own website, which does not confer notability. Best sources I can find are AS, Plaza Deportiva and Marca, all of which mention her only once and in passing. These verify that she exists but don't establish a passing of WP:GNG.If anyone finds any substantial coverage of her, then please ping me and I will expand the article accordingly.
- Laura Jurado: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 10:06, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any coverage of Jurado that isn't completely routine. Article was mass produced in 2012 along with hundreds and hundreds of others. Jurado played entirely during the semi-pro era and there is no assertion of notability. I have attempted numerous searches including ones in conjunction with the clubs that she played for such as this. The best three sources that I found were Magazine Oviedista, Huelva Ya and Ahora Alcalá. The first was a match report squad list, the second was a very brief contract renewal announcement and the last was a routine transfer announcement about her signing for a very low-level amateur side. None of these show the significant coverage required for WP:GNG.While borderline cases like Raquel Pinel and Alba Pomares should be given the benefit of the doubt, I'm not seeing enough here to actually build a biography. If GNG coverage is found, please let me know.
- Eleonora Pacioni: nominated at AfD; notified Dallagente (talk · contribs) 14:07, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No appearances for Roma yet and, even if she had one, it still wouldn't be enough as the Serie A (women's football) is only fully professional as of next season, as per WP:FPL.Outside of AS Roma's own website and its two main fansites, Voce Giallorossa and Chiesa Di Totti, there is almost zero coverage of Pacioni. The two fansites do not meet our requirements at WP:RS or WP:IS as the content is user-generated and not neutral. Aside from that, the coverage is also not significant coverage in that it does not address Pacioni directly and in depth. Content such as this user page for Pacioni is actually written by User:Dallagente, the creator of this Wikipedia article. In terms of an actual independent source, I can find nothing better than this very short contract renewal announcement.
- Johnny Guedert: nominated at AfD; notified JGuedert11 (talk · contribs) 16:41, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A blatant and shameless autobiography that does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL and I'm not seeing enough for WP:GNG either. The only sources provided are this video and this passing mention. A Brazilian search came back with nothing and a Google search only really came back with Rieti Life, which confirms that he recently had a trial with FC Rieti. No sign of notability.
September 2021
[edit]- North London FC Season 2 Season: nominated at AfD; notified Sxm Official (talk · contribs) 08:07, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: If my research is correct, this is either about a season relating to the video game Roblox or the season of a children's football club of the same name. No sources provided and can't find anything other than YouTube/social media. No apparent WP:ATD available.
- Landry Romeo Goore: nominated at AfD; notified Heritagesoccerpro (talk · contribs) 08:21, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been sat in Cat:NN for 11 years now and has never had a reliable, independent source to verify any of the info. The two sources provided are the website for an academy that he attended (not independent or reliable) and a fan-created hi5 page (a social media site similar to MySpace). For a BLP, these sources are not acceptable. I have tried searches under multiple names including "Landry Romeo Goore", "Goore Landry Romeo", "Landry Romeo" and "Landry Goore" and been unable to find anything that isn't a direct mirror of Wikipedia itself.Article was kept at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Goore Landry Romeo in 2010 due to playing multiple games in the Thai Premier League but the sources do not support this claim so there is no clear evidence of WP:NFOOTBALL, even though it's asserted.As has been established at many AfDs, footballers should pass WP:GNG to have an article but this one is struggling even on basic WP:V. The creator created a very large number of similarly dubious BLP articles (see User talk:Heritagesoccerpro) and this appears to be another one.
- Martial Bedi Esmel: nominated at AfD; notified Heritagesoccerpro (talk · contribs) 20:45, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was kept at the previous AfD due to a now-deprecated older version of WP:NFOOTBALL, which permitted anyone that played in the CAF Champions League, even if it was one game, to have an article. The reference is now dead but he apparently made an appearance in a game between Séwé FC and Mighty Barrolle, both of whom play in leagues listed as not fully professional at WP:FPL, therefore he does not actually meet NFOOTBALL, which requires him to play in a game between two clubs playing in an FPL league.I have investigated whether he played a game for FC Gloria Buzău and concluded that he didn't because his name does not appear at Statistics Football, a reliable website which exhaustively lists all players that played in the top 3 divisions of Romania for the last 70 years. He also doesn't have a Soccerway page. In fact, all I can find is an empty Transfermarkt profile.Thirdly, I could find absolutely nothing other than the painfully brief and insufficient transfer announcements already cited meaning that Esmel comprehensively fails WP:GNG, which supersedes NFOOTBALL anyway.
- Ítalo (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Simione001 (talk · contribs) 19:06, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can only verify that he has played in the Kakkonen (3rd tier of Finland) and Campeonato de Portugal (3rd tier of Portugal at the time) so I can't see a passing of WP:NFOOTBALL, unless someone can find a reliable source that says he played for Inter. I have also checked Football Database. No WP:SIGCOV in the article itself and can only find Info Esporte and HJK, the first of which is a very brief transfer announcement. The second one is also very brief and hosted on his club's website so also fails to be independent of the subject, which WP:GNG explicitly requires.I may well have missed something so if multiple in-depth sources are uncovered then please ping me.
- Zakir Hussain (Chhattisgarh politician): nominated at AfD; notified Officialeditorindia (talk · contribs) 19:50, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't seem to pass WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. Recreated under several different names more than 10 times now by undisclosed WP:COI editor(s). See User talk:Officialeditorindia and User talk:Shabs.17 for a history of all of the attempts to create this article. I found a passing mention in Bhaskar and this database-scraping source (translated) is currently cited. His Hindi Wikipedia article has been deleted so many times that they decided to add WP:SALT.
- Syed Kamal Hussain Shah: nominated at AfD; notified Shahsabg (talk · contribs) 20:03, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: He might well come from a famous family but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Whilst autobiographies like this are not banned outright, they are certainly discouraged per WP:AUTOBIO. All of the sources used are either unreliable or sources written by Shah himself. I was unable to find any actual significant coverage of Shah so he doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO and I'm not seeing any claim to meeting WP:ANYBIO or any other guideline.
- 1 Hacker Way Siopat Suhu: nominated at AfD; notified Appropriateness (talk · contribs) 09:40, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: User:Celestina007 already picked up Tommy Jonathan Sinaga and sent that to AfD last month and interestingly all accounts defending him are now globally locked...This appears to fail WP:NCORP. A WP:BEFORE search came back only with their Facebook page and the exact same inadequate sources used in the article. Analis News and Jurnal Post might look like good sources but the content is entirely duplicated and it's not enough for WP:CORPDEPTH anyway. The company may well exist but where is the notability? If anyone asserts that this company does meet NCORP then please provide WP:THREE reliable and independent sources analysing this company in depth.
- Vale Burberry: nominated at AfD; notified Spamonlyspam (talk · contribs) 10:10, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- Grant Hutchinson: nominated at AfD; notified JPLN89 (talk · contribs) 16:27, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Slightly promotional BLP on a footballer that does not meet the WP:NFOOTBALL guideline. The creator barely edited elsewhere so this is a possible autobiography/COI situation too. Not one of the cited sources is more than a trivial mention. The best thing that I can find is this long quote in a local paper called The Impartial Reporter; there is little to no analysis of his quote in this piece so it does not constitute significant coverage, in my view. Secondly, WP:GNG requires multiple sources to establish notability.
- 2 stories : The Book By Umesh Kaushik: nominated at AfD; notified Shivajitheking (talk · contribs) 16:37, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted under the name 2 Stories The book by Umesh kaushik. I can't find any evidence that this meets WP:NBOOK; no reviews in major publications, no significant awards, not cited as influential in any way. No obvious WP:ATD available either.
- Nuria Santiago: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 16:36, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with no apparent in-depth coverage available anywhere. Even coverage on Levante's own website is quite weak, not that it would count towards WP:GNG anyway. I have searched Google News, ProQuest, DDG and Google Images using her name alone and in conjunction with the clubs that she has played for and not managed to uncover any significant coverage. Some coverage about "Nuria Santiago Rodríguez" (one from Mexico, one from Spain) were found but nothing about Nuria Santiago Hernández, the subject of this article.Best sources I can find are a match report in Futbol Balear and a list of transfers in Marca, none of which mention Santiago more than once and none of which would enable us to build a biography.
- Esther Romero: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 19:16, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar case to Andrea Giménez (also of Barcelona) and Paula Mateo. Non-notable squad player of the semi-pro era with no apparent WP:GNG-level coverage. The two sources are a brief interview from her club's own website, clearly failing the requirements to be independent (WP:IS) or reliable (WP:RS) and a trivial Marca mention.I have conducted a search of Marca, several Google searches, including some in conjunction with clubs that she was on the books of, and a Spanish source search. No significant coverage was found. The best I can find were a Futfem transfer announcement and being mentioned once in an AS article.
- Jeong Da-woon: nominated at AfD; notified Saint9016 (talk · contribs) 09:16, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer that has had an article since 2007 but only seems to have played in the semi-pro Korea National League, which is not listed at WP:FPL. Only English result in searches is his Transfermarkt profile, which doesn't confer notability and has one cup appearance, which doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL requirements as at least one team involved was not playing in an FPL. Google News Korean search and DDG Korean search both return a lot of results but it's all about unrelated people with a similar name. Most results appear to be about a UFC person. No evidence that the footballer of this name ever garnered significant coverage, so likely fails WP:GNG.
- Selma Svendsen: nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 18:37, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No claim to passing WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL, in a Danish source search, I could not find any WP:SIGCOV of Svendsen. Only independent source that I could find was this tiny transfer announcement. Source analysis to follow, which will explain why the cited sources don't show SIGCOV.
- Cornelia Kramer: nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 19:16, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Cecilie Fløe, Emma Færge, Sofie Karsberg and other recently deleted Danish articles on footballers. No claim to passing WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL, in a Danish source search, I could not find any WP:SIGCOV of Kramer. Only independent sources that I could find were Ekstra Bladet and UEFA, none of which address Kramer in detail. Source analysis to follow, which will explain why the cited sources don't show SIGCOV. Also checked the Danish and Italian Wikipedia articles and none of the sources cited there are any good either.
- Umesh Kaushik: nominated at AfD; notified Shivajitheking (talk · contribs) 18:35, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. Subtle WP:ADMASQ entirely supported by sources controlled by Kaushik himself with no evidence of notability as a singer, businessperson, filmmaker or anything else really. Fails all relevant criteria and a WP:BEFORE search yielded nothing. The tag says "some of the article's listed sources may not be reliable" but, in my view, none of them are.This has already been sent to draft once and contested by the creator. Moving this back to draft would be move warring. The article should be deleted. Source analysis to follow.
- Malibu Sports & Social Club: nominated at AfD; notified Till3pm (talk · contribs) 21:31, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: My searches are not coming back with any independent WP:RS about this amateur sports club and there are no independent sources cited at all. I would also strongly oppose a merge with Pepperdine University given the extreme lack of coverage.
- Gustavo Brand: nominated at AfD; notified Darius Dhlomo (talk · contribs) 10:07, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Worth noting first of all that referees are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL so the fact that he officiated in one game in the 2004 Copa América or two games in the 2006 Copa Libertadores is not reason enough to keep the article. The coverage must satisfy WP:GNG for Brand to be kept. He is mentioned once at the bottom of El Universo and once in Balonazos. I found this article on ProQuest, which shows a manager complaining about a decision that he made. I can't even one instance of significant coverage, as per WP:SIGCOV and his career doesn't seem to have reached a level for WP:ANYBIO.
- Michael Kennedy (referee): nominated at AfD; notified Darius Dhlomo (talk · contribs) 11:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Notability tagged for over 3 years.I found this article published by PRO which is about him, however, this is not an independent source (WP:IS) as it is the organisation that he is currently in charge of that published the article. I also am of the opinion that the Illinois State Soccer Award is not enough for WP:ANYBIO. He is mentioned once in this Toronto Sun piece. Aside from that, I could find barely anything on him apart from database profile pages and being listed at the bottom of a match report as the assistant referee or referee. I can't find much in the way of WP:SIGCOV from an independent and reliable source.
- Svend Alexander Karlsen: nominated at AfD; notified SvendKarlsen (talk · contribs) 14:24, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The sixth tier of football in Norway isn't professional so this fails WP:NFOOTBALL by a long, long way. I can't find any coverage about him at all so WP:GNG is failed. I would also strongly oppose merging any of this unsourced content anywhere else. Given that the creator also created User:SvendKarlsen/Svend Alexander Karlsen, I suspect that this is an WP:AUTOBIO.
- Adam Ben Lamin: nominated at AfD; notified Cocô53 (talk · contribs) 21:19, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The claim that he has played for Tunisia is false and not supported by the sources cited. In fact, his Soccerway profile, Soccerway match report, Tunisia 2021 player list and NFT match report all clearly contradict the claim that he played in the game against Mali, which is the sole claim to notability. A Swedish source search came up with nothing better than routine coverage like this brief loan announcement. Fails WP:GNG. Given that he has only played in the 2nd and 3rd tiers of Sweden and youth internationals, he fails WP:NFOOTBALL too.
- Kim In-kyo: nominated at AfD; notified Saint9016 (talk · contribs) 09:26, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article makes no claim to playing in either of the top two tiers in South Korea nor any other professional league per WP:FPL, so looks like a failure of WP:NFOOTBALL. I can't find any database profile for him that would suggest otherwise. Korean searches in Gnews and DDG come up with nothing relevant to suggest a WP:GNG pass.
- Choi Myung-sung: nominated at AfD; notified Saint9016 (talk · contribs) 10:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable semi-pro footballer; see Soccerway; fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Article alleges that he was in the squad for Football at the 2009 East Asian Games, but this was the B team for South Korea so wouldn't count towards NFOOTBALL anyway.Korean searches in Google News and DDG yields only trivial coverage. Best I can find in terms of coverage is a photo caption and more photo captions.
- Lee Seung-tae: nominated at AfD; notified Saint9016 (talk · contribs) 10:34, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article has been here since the early days of Wikipedia but I'm not sure what the actual claim to notability is; he appears to have only played at semi-pro and amateur level so there is no claim to WP:NFOOTBALL. Korean searches in Google News and DDG don't seem to come up with any detailed coverage of him, so can't presume he passes WP:GNG either.
- DBKL Youth Futsal League: nominated at AfD; notified Pablofutsal (talk · contribs) 18:51, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Wikipedia is not a sports almanac and doesn't need to document every single minor youth tournament of every sport in existence. I attempted many searches including this one and couldn't find any reliable sources independent of the subject. In fact, almost everything was just a Wikipedia mirror.
- 2013 IPT Futsal League - Circuit 4 (Eastern Zone): nominated at AfD; notified Pablofutsal (talk · contribs) 19:06, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Nominating all three of these for deletion because they all concern a season of a non-notable regional division of a minor league for a minor sport. Searches of the title of the league in conjunction with teams involved bring back no independent sources about the tournament. Given that it's an amateur tournament played between university teams in the same region, I'm not surprised by the lack of coverage. That being said, I am impressed by the level of statistical detail in these three articles given that there don't appear to be any sources at all about any of these tournaments.
- Hugo Jinkinson: nominated at AfD; notified Skippo10 (talk · contribs) 10:36, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NFOOTBALL states that "Players who have played, and managers who have managed, in a competitive game between two teams from fully professional leagues will generally be regarded as notable". His one game for Derby County against Chorley F.C. fails this requirement as Chorley were playing in the semi-pro 6th tier of English football at that time. I have checked NFT for Latvian caps and not been able to find anything to suggest that he has played for Latvia and he obviously hasn't played for England. Given the level that he is currently playing at, I don't see him meeting the SNG any time soon.I also did a search for WP:GNG coverage here and found only passing mentions in Derby Telegraph and Telegraph neither of which are even borderline.
- Kazeem Aderounmu: nominated at AfD; notified Cyril-edits (talk · contribs) 12:59, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer that has only played at WP:NOTFPL clubs. The Lithuanian language Wikipedia article has more references but every single one is trivial match report coverage or a database profile page. More of the same in Google News as well as a Latvian search and a Lithuanian search.
- Ali Joudaki: nominated at AfD 08:50, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify (which is why I am down as the 'article creator') and then contested PROD. I agree with User:Sir Sputnik's rationale "Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league." For example, Soccerway confirms no appearances yet. In my view, draftify was the best option and what we do for similar cases.Please bear in mind that searching "علی جودکی" will bring back a lot of false positives and partial matches. Out of all of the articles that are about him, I can only find routine news. All articles are either brief announcements of call up to first team and passing mentions in a friendly match report.
- Pulinda Lakshitha Ekanayake: nominated at AfD; notified Pulinda Lakshitha (talk · contribs) 18:22, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been sent to draft numerous times due to COI/UPE concerns but keeps coming back as the WP:SPA editor insists on posting it again and again. I recommend not only deletion but also WP:SALT to stop this continuous cycle of recreating. No English-language coverage can be found and "පුලින්ද ලක්ෂිත ඒකනායක" only really brings up his Sinhalese Wikipedia article, which, unsurprisingly, was also written by Pulinda himself. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion and this person does not meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. If he ever does become notable, I'm sure someone other than Pulinda will be happy to write an article about him.
- Nelson Larios: nominated at AfD; notified Dahani (talk · contribs) 22:32, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been in Cat:NN for over 8 years and unsourced since 2008. Some fake sources were added in this edit including references to 'Cellphonereviewsnow.com' and 'Tourist-plaza.eu' and other inappropriate sites. Unsurprisingly, none of these seem to have ever existed. The article has had a number of WP:SPA edits and the accounts may well be socks of each other.The article makes an outrageous claim to notability; he apparently scored 75 goals in only 49 professional league appearances! Despite this, there are zero relevant hits in DDG, ProQuest, Google Images, Google Books or Google News. Surely someone with a career like this would receive some coverage? And surely he would have had an international call up for Honduras, right? Plenty of other Platense players and others in the Honduran league did during the same time period.Unless someone can bring forth some clear evidence that Larios not only existed but also that he meets our inclusion guidelines as well (WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG) then I think deletion is the only option here.
- Cyprus Futsal League Cup: nominated at AfD; notified FOURPOS (talk · contribs) 09:10, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Both this article and the Greek language version are completely unsourced. The supposed Italian version actually refers to the Cypriot Futsal First Division so needs to be ignored as it has nothing to do with the Futsal League Cup. Searches in Google and DDG yield nothing other than direct Wikipedia mirrors. This fails not only WP:GNG but also WP:V so I'm putting it up for deletion.
- Burçin Erseçal: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 13:00, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Büşra Demirörs. Footballer has only played in WP:NOTFPL games and youth matches and the coverage is far below the requirements of WP:GNG as the mentions are only in passing or in player name lists or stats pages. The article is currently just a prose version of her Turkish Football Federation stats page and the Haberler reference is only a very brief quote from her. A Turkish source search yielded no significant coverage. Best sources were Dost Beykoz and Eregli FM, both of which only mention Erseçal once.
- Draft:Dasith Gamage: nominated at MfD; notified Cluxq (talk · contribs) 13:07, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Dasith Gamage is now salted and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dasith Gamage(Musical artist) had a clear delete consensus. This article is written by a confirmed sockpuppet and part of a sock farm focused on promoting Gamage across Wikipedia. There is no chance of this article meeting our standards and it was created with intent to promote even though the language isn't promotional. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion and the article should be deleted as it was created as part of a vandalism/spam spree.
- Damla Bozyel: nominated at AfD 13:29, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Büşra Demirörs due to only playing in WP:NOTFPL and youth games. Also appears not to meet WP:GNG. Five of the references are stats pages and the other one is a squad list. A Turkish source search returns very little and there are no hits in Google News. Irish FA mentions her once in an U19 match report and she is also mentioned in this U19 squad list at the end of a match report. Neither of these are examples of WP:SIGCOV.
- Youssef Darbaki: nominated at AfD; notified Darbaki (talk · contribs) 14:12, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Following a discussion at WT:FOOTY, I'm listing this for deletion for likely failing WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Article is a likely autobiography by a user that also repeatedly created Karim Darbaki, Mounir Darbaki and also Hafid Darbaki. The claims that he played for Morocco and for the likes of Sporting CP are not supported by any reliable sources. He is mentioned in passing in MN Soccer Hub and there are some news stories that feature bits of info about him like Eater but the coverage lacks depth.
- Aldhi Kecut: nominated at RfD; Target: Persita Tangerang (notified); notified Emmanuel Gerardo (talk · contribs) 21:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Should be deleted as the redirect makes no sense. Searching "Aldhi Kecut" brings back nothing in search engines except Wikipedia mirrors. The history of this article has sources all related to Elkan Baggott and not Kecut. Additionally, Persita Tangerang has no mention of Kecut anywhere so the redirect is unhelpful. The article's creator had previously created football hoaxes and this appears to be another.
- Hidden Valley Camp & Resort: nominated at AfD; notified Abhinavguptaa11 (talk · contribs) 11:39, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Earl Shilton Albion FC: nominated at AfD; notified BMB YT 500000 (talk · contribs) 17:55, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to FCHD, they have never played at level 10 or above nor have they ever been eligible for any national cups like the FA Vase or FA Cup so doesn't meet the WP:FOOTYN rule of thumb.I found some mentions in Stamford Mercury and Rugby Advertiser but this depth of coverage in local papers is not usually sufficient for WP:GNG. More of the same in ProQuest. Similar discussions on clubs like St Agnes A.F.C., Old Bradwell United F.C. and Loughton Orient F.C. all resulted in deletion.
- B-Goss: nominated at AfD; notified MARVY1784 (talk · contribs) 22:48, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Created by a confirmed sockpuppet under B-Goss (musical artist) presumably to avoid detection following previous deletion under this name. None of the sources demonstrate WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO and nothing better found in searches under his stage name or his actual name.
- Daud Ali (YouTuber): nominated at AfD; notified Dcooz (talk · contribs) 09:37, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Likely WP:AUTOBIO or WP:COI given the multiple recreations under Daud ali, Daud Ali YouTuber, Daud ali (mr daud1304) and Mr daud1304. Wikipedia is not a web host nor is it an advertising space. The article fails to cite even a single reliable, independent source and I could find nothing better in a WP:BEFORE search.I have sent this to AfD rather than doing a speedy delete as I feel that there is an endless cycle of recreation at the moment and a discussion will at least make future creations eligible for WP:G4 if the creator insists on continual reposting further to this discussion.Alternatively, if there is significant coverage from reliable sources, then please share.
- Ade Ivan Hafilah: nominated at AfD; notified BenitoINDO (talk · contribs) 09:53, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who has spent his entire career playing in semi-pro leagues with no apparent claim to notability. I will do a source analysis to explain why I believe that the current sourcing falls short on WP:GNG. An Indonesian search came back with nothing better so I am confident that the current sources show the best coverage. FlashScore and Football Database confirm the WP:NFOOTBALL failure.
- Jesse Debrah: nominated at AfD; notified Jackoooo45 (talk · contribs) 10:33, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Debrah was an unused substitute for one single Championship game but, apart from that, there is no claim to being close to being notable. The cited sources lack depth so do not demonstrate WP:GNG. Nothing better found in this search. Google News has this Halifax Courier article, however, the overwhelming majority of the article is just a regurgitation of his post-match comments to the local press with little independent analysis. The journalist makes some comments about his height and that he spent 10 years at Millwall but I'm not seeing enough there in this one local paper to justify a stand-alone article in a global encyclopaedia, especially considering that he is yet to play even one minute of football at the professional level. GNG also generally requires multiple sources.
- László Brettschneider: nominated at AfD; notified Krisztian Horvath (talk · contribs) 11:37, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 8 minutes of professional football might provide a weak presumption of WP:GNG notability but there is little evidence of a pass. Very little found in a Hungarian source search. Origo and Nemzeti Sport do have mentions of him in match reports for semi-pro games but nothing more than that. Given that he seemingly retired over 10 years ago, I'm not seeing any likelihood of future notability either.
- Zoltán Csiszár: nominated at AfD; notified Krisz2 (talk · contribs) 12:01, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No professional games recorded on Soccerway, MLSZ or HLSZ so doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Nothing on Google News or DDG supports a claim to WP:GNG. At best, I found one interview of him in a local Orosháza-based website here but if you strip out the content that isn't directly from Csiszár's mouth, there's little there and, in any case, GNG calls for multiple reliable sources not just one.
- Tamás Csepregi: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 15:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst his 22 mins of professional football 10 years ago might give an assertion of meeting WP:GNG, there is clear consensus that this does actually need to be supported by WP:RS showing significant and direct coverage of Csepregi for him to have a stand-alone biography article.A search of Hungarian sources yields only mentions in tabloids relating to his girlfriend Viki Singh. WP:BLP is extremely clear on Wikipedia policy when it comes to using tabloid junk to cite articles. Since I can't see any potential for this article to be cited to anything better than trashy celeb gossip articles in Blikk and BorsOnline, I do not believe that GNG or WP:BIO are met.
- Mpiima Johnson: nominated at AfD; notified Checkpubb (talk · contribs) 15:55, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly recreated article under multiple names; see extensive history under Mpiima jeson, Mpiima johnson and Mpiima Jeson as well as this article. No reliable sources have been cited and a WP:BEFORE search comes back only with other wiki sites like Gyaanipedia and Everybodywiki, which are user-generated and unacceptable. Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO.
- Agapios Agapiou: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 19:42, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His professional career consists of 36 mins in the league and 16 mins in the cup 7 years ago. Since then, he struggled to even get game time in the semi-pro second tier before finding his feet in the 4th and 3rd tiers of Cypriot football. Whilst his very brief professional career might create a presumption of passing WP:GNG, there is a growing consensus among the Wikipedia community that GNG actually needs to be demonstrated in borderline cases such as this one. Greek language searches in Google News and DDG came back with very little. All I found was his name mentioned in a list of players published on Sigma Live that were close to a suspension for yellow cards.
- Thea Hamann Rasmussen: nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 19:27, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Ekaterina Skivko.I will do a source analysis on the sources cited and will also include a couple that I found in my own searches, which include DDG (full name), DDG (shorter name), Zip News and Google News. Zip News with her full name returned zero results. Players could get presumed notability through WP:SPORTCRIT if they have played in a major international competition at the highest level, but Rasmussen hasn't played in the European Championship, nor the World Championship nor the Olympics. There is no evidence that she is a significantly notable figure within handball in the sense that it would allow us to completely ignore GNG.
- Abhijet Raajput: nominated at AfD; notified Jaesingh (talk · contribs) 19:52, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Covert advertising, classic WP:ADMASQ. A case of using what, at first, appears to be news articles to give an illusion of notability. Cited entirely to his own press releases, nothing better found in a WP:BEFORE search. Also, there is no claim to passing WP:ANYBIO or WP:CREATIVE. What has he achieved in his career to justify an article?Telegraph says sponsored content at the bottom. Mid-day labels this as partnered content and has further warnings at the bottom of the article. Tribune is labelled as brand connect. DNA says Disclaimer: This is a Featured Article.
October 2021
[edit]- Marco Rosa (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Ajax.amsterdam.fan (talk · contribs) 07:22, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL so does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Sources cited do not demonstrate WP:GNG as they are either stats pages, his club's own website or social media pages. The best source that I can find in searches is Bola VIP (not sure if this is WP:RS) which still contains very little actual information about Rosa. Simply just states that he scored a goal in the UEFA Europa Conference League and was the first player for a Gibraltarian club to do so.If being the first player for a Gibraltarian club to do x thing is enough for an article then I'm happy to stand down but I've always been under the impression that GNG or an SNG would still need to be met in this sort of case.
- International Ventriloquism Day: nominated at AfD; notified PBWilliams (talk · contribs) 20:06, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Ramin Namdar (composer): nominated at AfD; notified Solidem (talk · contribs) 20:29, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted multiple times under other names, including Ramin Namdar, which is now salted. Allegedly involved heavily in John Wick: Chapter 2, John Wick, The Fate of the Furious and The Unknown Girl but I can't find any WP:RS to support this and attempts by the editor to change those articles have been reverted as unsourced and inappropriate. In addition, searches of "Ramin Namdar", "Ramin Eghtedari" and "رامین نامدار," return zero valid sources. None of the references used in this article are acceptable either. User:Adolphus79 added a PROD rationale Does not appear to pass WP:MUSICBIO or WP:NACTOR... which appears to be correct, although it was added while the article was in Wikipedia space at Wikipedia:Ramin Namdar, which made it ineligible for PROD deletion.
- Ali Haider: nominated at AfD; notified Aliahmed6 (talk · contribs) 19:31, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was originally a redirect to Ali Haidar, however, there have been continual attempts from one account and several IP addresses to restore this self-promotional version of the article. See also HeyAlihaider and Draft:HeyAlihaider for more attempts to get this published. In searches, I can only find the social media pages that he has created about himself. No independent coverage at all. Clear WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG failure. Please also consider protecting this from being created again.
- Sourav Chowdhury: nominated at AfD; notified Sourav ahmed Khan (talk · contribs) 18:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- Kiril Ognyanov: nominated at AfD; notified F121212 (talk · contribs) 19:23, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played just the one professional game over 10 years ago according to Soccerway and Football Database, which, by consensus, is only a weak presumption of passing WP:GNG. The Sportal reference is just a small injury announcement so doesn't establish notability. Searches, including a Bulgarian source search, failed to yield significant coverage. A passing mention in Blitz was the best source.
- Ivan Dechev: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 19:39, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played one game of football over 10 years ago according to the cited source as well as Soccerway, then completely disappeared. He didn't even seem to feature in the second or third tiers of Bulgaria so, if he is active at all, is likely to be at purely an amateur, local level. Clear consensus that such weak WP:NFOOTBALL passes do not automatically mean that the subject passes WP:GNG. Bulgarian language searches in Google News and DDG come back with no results that relate to football so hard to see how Dechev would pass GNG.
- Dominic McGiveron: nominated at AfD; notified Tiffanydom (talk · contribs) 18:32, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not clear on what basis McGiveron qualifies for an article. He has only played for amateur clubs in England and at a very, very low level of the footballing pyramid in the USA, Finland, Norway and Sweden. None of the sources qualify for WP:GNG and I could find nothing better myself. Source analysis to follow.
- Mujtaba Mohammed: nominated at AfD; notified Fooledya (talk · contribs) 19:07, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer with no evidence of notability. Searching "مجتبى محمد" yields no apparent coverage of this footballer and the one cited source doesn't mention him at all. His Arabic Wikipedia article is also sourced with the same reference that doesn't seem to mention him. Looks like he fails WP:GNG and possibly even WP:V.
- Raphael Mollet: nominated at AfD; notified Mario1001 (talk · contribs) 19:19, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Original rationale Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. remains valid as far as I can see. He claim close to playing in a WP:FPL league when he played in the Swiss Challenge League but it's not listed at FPL currently so he doesn't actually pass the presumption of notability that WP:NFOOTBALL provides. Every single external link and reference is just a stats database profile page or trivial mention.Searches in Google News and DDG provide us with a handful of passing semi-pro match report mentions and the occasional appearance in a list of players such as RTS and Swiss Info, none of which establishes notability.
- Dark Dom: nominated at AfD; notified Radioactive Waste Drinker (talk · contribs) 18:45, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- Mid-Somerset Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 20:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Guildford and Woking Alliance League and other sub-county leagues that have been deleted in the past year or so for failing WP:GNG. Online searches reveal only very infrequent coverage in local papers such as this article in the Midsomer Norton, Radstock & District Journal. Similarly, a search of British newspapers yields little better than occasional results roundups in the Cheddar Valley Gazette and the Shepton Mallet Journal and other local papers with very limited audiences. As with the twenty or so other similar articles deleted recently with clear consensus, there is nothing here that establishes notability in the context of a general and global encyclopaedia.
- Anti-Wikia Alliance: nominated at AfD; notified Onlyforwikiapps (talk · contribs) 09:02, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any clear evidence that this meets WP:NWEB. The group definitely exists but the only evidence of existence is its own pages on Wiki and Fandom sites. It doesn't appear that any independent WP:RS have taken notice yet so at best this looks to be WP:TOOSOON.
- Sarah Groenewald: nominated at AfD; notified Australian Matt (talk · contribs) 09:48, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a similar case to Jodie Bain, Ebony Weidenbach and perhaps most of all Deanna Niceski (due to the only coverage basically being about her career outside football).I can't find any clear evidence of a WP:GNG pass for Groenewald, unfortunately. An Australian source search yielded only very brief mentions in match reports, stats databases and pages about her subsequent career as a pilates teacher. The pilates coverage is written by her or by organisations connected with her so do not count as independent coverage and therefore doesn't confer any notability. ProQuest has nothing of note and Google News has nothing at all. Out of the two sources currently cited, the Canberra Times one seems to be permanently dead, however, the title indicates that it's a match report while the FourFourTwo source is clearly only a trivial mention.
- Olymbios Antoniades: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 10:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 5 minutes of a game of professional football about 4.5 years ago, which is only a very weak presumption of passing WP:GNG, especially considering that the game itself was an inconsequential end-of-season fixture, where clubs often throw on kids as if it's a friendly match. A search of Greek sources only comes up with weak coverage like a video of a goal scored in a friendly match and a routine announcement of serving a suspension for accumulating too many yellow cards in the Cypriot Third Division. As with Agapios Agapiou et al, this type of coverage is often considered insufficient.That being said, I appreciate the article creator's efforts to improve coverage of footballers from countries where there are a lack of articles, just, in my view, this footballer doesn't seem to pass GNG currently.
- Achilleas Salamouras: nominated at AfD; notified Jypas1986 (talk · contribs) 13:44, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify. Draft:Achilleas Salamouras should be kept regardless of whether this one is deleted or not. Salamouras hasn't made his debut in a WP:FPL yet so doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL. The creator has added some new sources but none of them are detailed enough; one is a profile page from PAOK's website, one is just a picture and the final one is just a sentence about him. A Greek language search comes up with multiple squad lists for PAOK B, some of which contain a sentence or two about him and briefly mention the loan moves to Volos and Niki Volos and the fact that he is a student, none of which meets WP:GNG in my view. Aside from that, I found one small transfer announcement.We do sometimes keep articles on youth footballers that haven't made their debut in exceptional circumstances where the coverage is extremely strong and from multiple WP:RS websites. I'm not convinced that this is one of those extremely rare cases.
- Farhat Bashir: nominated at AfD; notified Femonics (talk · contribs) 16:25, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Mentions of her only seem to be in passing and Seerab Technologies doesn't have an article so I can't see a valid WP:ATD. Despite the plethora of awards that she is supposed to have won, I can't see it being enough for WP:ANYBIO. The best sources I can find are what looks to be a social media profile page and a 3 sentence autobiography.
- Francisco Serra-Martins: nominated at AfD; notified MarliTheron (talk · contribs) 20:42, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify, which has been moved between main and draft a couple of times, with no improvement. As per comments at Draft:Francisco Serra-Martins, the sources fail to demonstrate how Serra-Martins meets WP:GNG or WP:BIO. I found a decent source in News Australia but it's very brief in terms of coverage. I considered redirecting but the creator would obviously revert it. Also would struggle to think of a redirect location since this businessperson is allegedly involved with Dove Air and Sonder Design, both of which he has edited extensively himself under 'Franciscowashere' and edit warred over the COI tags.
- Esk Valley Evening League: nominated at AfD; notified Cheekychives (talk · contribs) 13:37, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: See previous discussions for Isle of Axholme Evening league and The George Marshall Cup.The reference from Cricket Yorkshire is only a passing mention and all of the other references are from the league's own website. In searches, I can find nothing better than the league's own website and Facebook. I found nothing substantial in Google News, British Newspaper Archive or ProQuest. Repeating the searches as "Esk Valley League" still had no success and brought back results relating to football rather than cricket in most cases.
- List of animals in Zoo Tycoon 2: nominated at AfD; notified Fehér Zoltán (talk · contribs) 15:06, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article has a very long history and was restored at this RfD without prejudice against a later nomination at AfD. The main concern is that it falls foul of WP:VGSCOPE, in particular #7 which is itself linked to the policy WP:NOT, in particular the sections WP:NOTDIR and WP:GAMEGUIDE, which seem relevant here. On top of that, this fails WP:LISTN due to a lack of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources and meets none of the three main purposes for lists detailed at WP:LISTPURP.This could be a PROD but given that List of animals in Zoo Tycoon was contested I suspect this one would be too.
- Ashton F.C.: nominated at AfD; notified 2021biu (talk · contribs) 12:09, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A lot of the claims in the article are exaggerated so I tagged this as WP:G3 under hoax grounds, which the creator has vehemently denied is the case. If this club does indeed exist and meets WP:GNG, then we can stubify the article and remove all of the unsourced nonsense. A WP:BEFORE search is extremely challenging as all I can find is info relating to Ashton United F.C. and Curzon Ashton F.C..I am still of the belief that this article needs to go but am taking to AfD to hopefully establish clear consensus from fellow editors on this one.
- 2014 United States Soccer Federation presidential election: nominated at AfD; notified Deschainet (talk · contribs) 18:41, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar rationale to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1994 United States Soccer Federation presidential election. I am bundling these three elections together because none of them seem to pass WP:GNG as they only get trivial coverage such as this from organisations directly connected with USSF. The articles are all redundant as the information is already covered well enough in Sunil Galati and United States Soccer Federation.As well as GNG, these all seem to fail WP:NEVENT as none of these unopposed elections seem to have any lasting notability (WP:LASTING) nor did any of them have any apparent widespread international impact (WP:GEOSCOPE).
- Azizul Hakim Ashik: nominated at AfD; notified Azizulhakim.ashik (talk · contribs) 18:52, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article on a YouTuber, singer, DJ, journalist and businessperson that fails WP:BASIC, WP:CREATIVE and WP:MUSICBIO. Vanity article on another 'Jack of all trades' aiming to use Wikipedia solely as a platform for promotion. Sources cited are not WP:RS and fail to address the subject in an appropriate level of depth. A search in his native language comes up with absolutely nothing suitable.
- Elvis Nelson Anes: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 19:35, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite technically having 3 appearances, his professional career only lasted 36 mins with Football Database not having any appearances at all for him. This provides a presumption that the footballer will pass WP:GNG but no guarantee, as numerous previous AfDs of a similar nature have established. Google News contains 3 completely trivial mentions and the results of an Indonesian source search yield nothing better.
- Fatma Ataş: nominated at AfD 19:58, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Büşra Demirörs and many others that have followed. The sources in the article and the ones that I have found in a WP:BEFORE search provide only trivial mentions of Ataş, in fact all only mention her once in a list of footballers and none provide any further info that we can use. Google searches and a Turkish source search yield nothing better than Haber7 and TRT Spor, which both only mention her once in passing. The article currently contains a stats database and two other passing mentions. GNG and WP:BASIC are crystal clear in saying that trivial mentions, on their own, are insufficient.
- Siphokuhle Naartjies: nominated at AfD; notified Mosha Dibanisa (talk · contribs) 20:29, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I have added the only decent reference that I can find but it's not enough, in my view. Fails WP:GNG and I think this fails WP:NFOOTBALL.
- Mosha Dibanisa: nominated at AfD; notified Mosha Dibanisa (talk · contribs) 20:35, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable footballer who clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. No point in sending to draft or redirecting. Playing in the Telkom Knockout is enough to escape WP:A7 but will need more coverage and better coverage to avoid deletion at AfD, in my view.
- Charles Rumbino: nominated at AfD; notified BenitoINDO (talk · contribs) 21:34, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Has never played in a WP:FPL and lacks coverage in WP:RS. The article cites Tribun News Wiki which is completely unacceptable as a source as it's derived from Transfermarkt. An Indonesian source search and a Google News search failed to yield even one example of the significant coverage for WP:GNG; only squad list mentions and passing match report mentions were available. Soccerway has no appearances for him and neither does Football Critic.
- Chrystna Bhagascara: nominated at AfD; notified BenitoINDO (talk · contribs) 21:49, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Liga Indonesia and BeSoccer confirm the WP:NFOOTBALL failure. The only source currently cited that provides more than a trivial mention of Bhagascara is Tribun News Wiki; this source is derived entirely from the player's own Instagram and Transfermarkt pages, neither of which are WP:RS, therefore we must disregard the source entirely. An Indonesian search and a Google News search came back only with trivial second tier match report mentions of him. I can't find any examples of Bhagascara being addressed directly and in detail in any sources that could be considered reliable and independent.
- Georgi Bachvarov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 12:02, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 16 mins of professional football 12 years ago, which, at best, is a weak presumption of passing WP:GNG, there doesn't appear to be any truly significant coverage of this particular Bachvarov. A Bulgarian source search returns sources that only relate to namesakes and my other searches yielded only a passing mention in a match report and an injury announcement hosted on his club's own website.
- Ali MansouR: nominated at AfD; notified Realjohnwich (talk · contribs) 14:23, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: If you think that you've seen this article before, it's because you probably have. It may have been at Draft:Ali Mansour, Ali Mansour, Ali Mansour (actor) and various other places. The last letter of his surname has been capitalised in an attempt to circumvent the salting. Whilst it has been speedy deleted under WP:G5 numerous times, I can't find any AfDs on this subject that actually reached a conclusion. I'm submitting this for AfD as I believe that the subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR and may even be a hoax, to an extent - the claim that he played football for PSG is particularly laughable. This currently is not eligible for speedy deletion as the creator is not yet blocked for being a sockpuppet and, given the backlog at SPI, this may take a few days (I also am not sure who the sockmaster for this farm even is as all of the socks seem to be blocked without tags). AfD will enable us to establish deletion through WP:G4 for any future attempts to game the system by creating this article under a slightly different name again and again. Please do not be fooled by the number of references present, they are largely user-generated or paid-for content.
- List of tallest structures in Isfahan: nominated at AfD; notified Baratiiman (talk · contribs) 15:34, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Per consensus at recent deletion discussions at List of tallest buildings in Pattaya, List of tallest buildings in Rajasthan and List of tallest buildings in Tagaytay, this list does not meet our notability standards. Firstly, there is no evidence that these buildings are discussed as a group so the topic fails WP:LISTN.
- Manon van Raay: nominated at AfD; notified Zirguezi (talk · contribs) 19:57, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Kept on WP:TRAINWRECK grounds previously without prejudice against being nominated again on its own. In my view, Van Raay and Louise van Oosten (already up for AfD) were the only players from that previous discussion that do not demonstrate a passing of WP:GNG. I believe that this article should be deleted because it's based on a teenager with no claim to significance who is not in the public eye at all. A Google News search yields only passing mentions in match reports, most of which are from ADO Den Haag's own website, an unacceptable source when it comes to establishing notability. A Dutch source search similarly comes up with very little. AD has one article which looks like it's more than a passing mention but, when you look at it closely, it's almost entirely just a long direct quote from her and contains very little input from a third party. GNG requires multiple sources.Please can anyone arguing for 'keep' please provide WP:THREE sources addressing Van Raay directly and in depth?
- Ali Nuhić: nominated at AfD; notified Ali Muratovic (talk · contribs) 20:21, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to my searches, he has never played in any of the top 3 German leagues, so falls short of WP:NFOOTBALL. A German source search as well as Google searches come back with nothing that could count towards WP:GNG.
- Deniz Özlem: nominated at AfD; notified Jordanson (talk · contribs) 20:52, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Özlem's career consists of playing one game 11 years ago and seemingly nothing else. By consensus, this is only a weak presumption of notability. Google News and DDG searches in Bulgarian yield absolutely nothing about this particular Denislav Stoyanov. Likewise, Google News and DDG failed to yield any useful results when searching using his Turkish name. Plenty of results about 'Deniz Özlem Durmaz' but no relevant results about this mostly-amateur footballer with one game to his name.
November 2021
[edit]- Fahad Munir: nominated at AfD; notified Justshepu (talk · contribs) 16:29, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Radomir Nikov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 16:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Played one game of professional football over a decade ago to scrape a technical presumption of being able to pass WP:GNG but searches of "Радомир Ников" yield very little evidence of notability. A Bulgarian search came back with Via Sport and Darik News as the most promising source. Both of those, however, are articles in which Nikov is mentioned only once in passing and the depth is sorely lacking as far as GNG is concerned.
- Deivid Penchev: nominated at AfD; notified Dfotev (talk · contribs) 17:04, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Made a 36 min appearance over 10 years ago in a professional league but then quickly dropped out of professional football and played in amateur leagues for the remainder of his career. Whilst there is a presumption of WP:GNG from this one appearance, many AfDs have established consensus that this is invalid. A Bulgarian search came back with nothing of note and Google searches came back with a passing mention in Top Sport, which has him down as the godfather for a fellow footballer's child.
- Petar Lakov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 17:17, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His 2 professional games 12 years ago provide only a very weak presumption of notability. A Bulgarian search yielded very little about this Lakov, most results were related to fishing. I found only one source about him through Google searches Novsport (translated); this is a brief transfer announcement and does nothing to establish notability. In any case, for GNG to be met we would require multiple sources discussing Lakov in detail.
- Roman Packo: nominated at AfD; notified Otapka (talk · contribs) 17:38, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability since its creation with a comment on the talk page essentially stating that it would be unlikely to survive an AfD. Only the top tier of Slovakia is listed at WP:FPL and all of the sources confirm that he has never played in the top tier, so WP:NFOOTBALL is not met. GSA also confirms this. The only substantial coverage seems to be from FK Pohronie's own website, which is an unacceptable source as it is neither reliable nor independent of Packo. Clubs at all levels, professional and amateur, write articles on their own players; this does not make them notable. A Slovakian source search and Google searches came back with very little. The sources that were relevant were all sorely lacking in depth: see Dobrenoviny, CAS and Dnes24.
- Sibel Nohut: nominated at AfD 14:42, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to recently deleted İpek Özgan and Büşra Demirörs. Nohut's appearances at youth level and in WP:NOTFPL leagues do not confer notability. Current references are a stats page and 3 mentions in passing. Google News has nothing at all, Google has only Wikipedia mirrors as does a DDG source search centred on Turkish sources. No evidence to support a claim towards WP:GNG.
- Pamuk Güllü Yılmaz: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 14:58, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: For essentially the same reasons as Sude Mihri Çınar, this should be deleted too. The entire article is just a prose version of her Turkish Football Federation stats page. Yılmaz's career in WP:NOTFPL leagues and at youth level do not confer notability. Likewise, her rugby career doesn't reach the heights of WP:NRU. The best sources found in searches, including a Turkish search, are only passing mentions relating to one rugby event at Karsiyaka Haber and Haberler. Passing mentions do not add up to a WP:GNG pass as many recent AfDs have established.
- Fatma Serdar: nominated at AfD 15:11, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The entire article is derived from stats pages from Turkish Football Federation and Soccerway. Aside from that, there are two passing mentions on match reports relating to İlkadım Belediyesi Yabancılar Pazarı Spor. Since Serdar has played only in WP:NOTFPL and youth matches, these games do not confer notability and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate stats database. Most of the Google News hits are irrelevant and the rest are passing mentions. A Turkish search came back with no decent WP:RS coverage. WP:GNG does not appear to be met but I'm happy to look at sources if anyone presents any.
- Barbara Legrand: nominated at AfD; notified Bneidror (talk · contribs) 22:34, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a subject who potentially falls short on WP:GNG. A search of German sources only yielded database pages and coverage on Fan Soccer and Die Glocke is just basic match report mentions. Clear consensus that this sort of coverage is not sufficient for an article.
- Nav Sandhu: nominated at AfD; notified Srkhab (talk · contribs) 20:47, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Classic case of WP:REFBOMBing to high heaven to give an illusion of notability. Despite the edit summary i removed pr releases as spiderone put notes that there are too many press releases. there are still too many press releases and articles that do not even mention Sandhu at all being used as the basis for this article. A WP:BEFORE search also comes back with nothing useful at all.Full source analysis to follow.
- Mixxtone: nominated at AfD; notified Pistooo (talk · contribs) 20:20, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD with rationale Cannot find references to assert notability (and all currently listed references are primary). Also appears to be a copy-paste from the relevant draft, so work can continue there. was placed by User:Giraffer.This remains valid. He fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG due to the complete lack of WP:RS coverage. Also see deletion history of the article itself and of DJ Malyk and Round2Hell for more background on this. Long-term spam.
- Florent Koara: nominated at AfD; notified Griezmanstha (talk · contribs) 11:07, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No claim to notability as has only played in WP:NOTFPL leagues and lacks the significant coverage for WP:GNG. Appears to have been created in a bundle with Messouke Oloumou and Bikash Meraglia, both of which are up for AfD also. I found two bits of coverage here and here as well as a couple of transfer announcements in other sites but it's not sufficient, in my view.
- Mohsen Avid: nominated at AfD; notified Miladtayan (talk · contribs) 11:40, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No significant roles so fails WP:NACTOR, no claim to meeting WP:NMUSICIAN and the article is cited purely to passing mentions, social media, unreliable websites and paid-for spam. A WP:BEFORE search only yields more press releases and 'Brand Post' coverage in Influencive, Time Bulletin, The Open News and other blacklisted sources.
- Yonca Şentürk: nominated at AfD 11:56, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Şentürk does not meet WP:GNG; the article is currently a WP:REFBOMBing of stats-only coverage from UEFA and the Turkish Football Federation, all of which are in youth matches or WP:NOTFPL matches which fail to confer notability. The only exceptions are Denizli Haber and Hurriyet, both of which only mention her once in the entire article.Google News has her down for two passing mentions with regards to rugby and the third is just an article about İlkay Gündoğan that happens to contain a trivial mention of her only. A Turkish source search offers nothing other than database websites and social media.
- Payungsak Pannarat: nominated at AfD; notified Druryfire (talk · contribs) 18:55, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability since 2017 and was given a PROD in 2018 due to being a BLP with no sources. This tag was removed without a valid source being added; the external link is permanently dead; I have looked in the web archives and can't find a usable version. A Google News search comes back with one hit in Thai, which is simply an appearance in a list of Thai League 3 coaching staff attending a training course. A Thai source search similarly also had nothing that could be used to demonstrate a passing of WP:GNG.
- Jennie Jonsson: nominated at AfD; notified Smartskaft (talk · contribs) 12:22, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No claim to notability made in the article and the sources are way below what is required to pass WP:GNG. Nothing found on Jonsson in Google News, Google Books or in a Swedish source search. All I can find is a Playmaker Stats page with no appearances listed and a Eurosport page also with limited info other than the fact that she was on the books of Hammarby at some point. Even if she did play a game for Hammarby or Djurgarden it wouldn't be an automatic WP:NFOOTBALL pass. No one of this name listed at the Swedish Football Federation website so, unless she was more commonly known under a different name, I'm not seeing a notability pass.
- Weston-super-Mare and District Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 14:14, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: See discussions for similar leagues like Mid-Somerset Football League and Guildford and Woking Alliance League, all of which ended in a clear delete consensus.Google News, with the shortened name, does come up with some passing mentions in relation to a homophobic incident but this does not contain any in-depth coverage of the league itself. No hits for the full name. No hits in Google Books under either the short or long name. Searches in British newspapers such as this and this bring back trivial and hyper-local coverage. Clear consensus from previous discussions that routine and brief summaries of AGMs, match result listings and fixture listings in local papers do not amount to a WP:GNG pass.
- 2021–22 Sheikh Russel Smrity U-15 Gold Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Fardous.twg (talk · contribs) 17:39, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This youth tournament doesn't appear to have enough significant coverage to warrant an individual season article. I have no objection to Sheikh Russel Smirity U-15 Gold Cup staying but this 2021–22 article should be deleted for failing WP:GNG, WP:SPORTSEVENT and WP:V. All of the sources cited are just the exact same press releases posted across different websites, none of which verify any of the article's information. The goalscorers and penalty shoot-out results are pure WP:OR and the cited match report has no depth at all. This tournament existed. It took place. There is, however, no evidence of actual notability for this children's tournament.
- List of footballers with more goals than caps: nominated at AfD; notified Txikon (talk · contribs) 17:59, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Following on from a discussion at WT:FOOTY, this is possibly a case of WP:NOTSTATS; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of statistics (even if they might be of interest to some football fans). Secondly, I'm not sure it meets WP:LISTN as I don't see any evidence that these particular players have been discussed as a group significantly in WP:RS. In fact, I can't see any evidence that anyone other than the article creator themselves has grouped this exact bunch of people together for this very reason. For example, I can't find any example of Gottfried Fuchs and Amaiur Sarriegi being discussed together by the same source so the link between all of these people is a fairly tenuous one as far as Wikipedia's definition of notability is concerned.
- Samsudin Ibrahim: nominated at AfD; notified Reez95 (talk · contribs) 17:34, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability since it was created. Non-notable person who does not meet WP:GNG. Database profile pages do nothing to support notability. This Goal.com coverage of a suspension is sorely lacking in depth and falls short of SIGCOV requirements. No decent coverage found in a Malaysian search or in Google News. Aside from what is already cited, I found nothing better than an empty GSA profile.
- Mesaraonye Ikechukwu Samuel: nominated at AfD; notified Kriskalz19 (talk · contribs) 17:43, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Essentially an unsourced BLP created by an SPA tagged for notability since 2017. No hits in ProQuest, nothing of value in Google or DuckDuckGo. Wikipedia mirrors and nothing else. Promotional article; probably an autobiography; doesn't meet WP:GNG on the basis of the searches that I've attempted so we should delete.
- Alex Savino: nominated at AfD; notified A cadalso (talk · contribs) 17:57, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability for over a decade; most of the references don't mention Savino at all let alone show the significant coverage that we require (the bar for notability has progressed a lot since this article was made). The best that I can find in searches are an empty profile page and this Waikato Times piece. In my view, this falls short on WP:GNG, WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:BIO on all points. Happy to be proved wrong.
- Andreas Efstathiou: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 18:23, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Essentially an amateur footballer who happened to play 2 games of professional football over 5 years ago with his recent career showing no signs of being anywhere near the professional level. Clear consensus that this is, at best, a weak presumption of WP:GNG. Searches in Google News and a Greek-language search came back with practically nothing on him (just namesakes; people more notable/famous than him). The only RS coverage I can find is a passing mention in Balla and another in Kerkida, neither of which are even close to SIGCOV.
- Frengky Ardian Batubara: nominated at AfD; notified *Casper (talk · contribs) 14:20, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: References are fraudulent (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tommy Jonathan Sinaga and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1 Hacker Way Siopat Suhu for a wider picture of what is going on here). This person clearly fails WP:GNG with no coverage in actual WP:RS and fails WP:NACTOR with not a single notable or significant role.
- Dave Jone$: nominated at AfD; notified Djoshuau67 (talk · contribs) 08:24, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN. No significant coverage from WP:RS currently cited and unable to locate any in my WP:BEFORE.
- Maxblizz: nominated at AfD; notified Arunkrishna110 (talk · contribs) 11:29, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite claims of notability due to being in the same league as Deadline Hollywood and Collider, which allows this to escape WP:A7, I'm not seeing anything towards WP:GNG or WP:NWEB. I could not find any in-depth coverage from a reliable and independent source.
- Reza Seyf Ahmadi: nominated at AfD; notified Loriserforc (talk · contribs) 14:37, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article has been in place for over 2 years and Ahmadi has still not made their debut. According to Soccerway, SofaScore and BeSoccer, his career has consisted of sitting on the bench once as an unused substitute. FlashScore has nothing.Nothing in the Persian article indicates notability and searches of "رضا سیفاحمدی" yield only passing mentions like Varzesh3, which fail to meet the standards required for WP:GNG.
- Sheham Siddik: nominated at AfD; notified Abishe (talk · contribs) 16:17, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The Sri Lanka Rugby Championship and Asian Schools Rugby Championships don't seem to count towards WP:NRU and Sri Lanka isn't listed as a High Performance Union either. There is no evidence that he ever played for their senior team anyway. References to date consist of two passing mentions and one very brief death announcement, which is short of WP:GNG's clear requirements. I found nothing better in a WP:BEFORE search.
- Anuranga Walpola: nominated at AfD; notified Sarithfernando (talk · contribs) 16:27, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As far as I can see, falls short on WP:NRU and WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search was attempted and yielded only a passing mention in Daily News and another in Sunday Observer. Full source analysis to follow.
- Arvid Maciej Slusarczyk: nominated at AfD; notified ArvidLundqvist (talk · contribs) 17:18, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Amateur footballer who has only played at a very, very low level in Poland and Sweden. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL due to only playing at amateur level and WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in Swedish and Polish searches. Also tried a search using Maciej instead of Arvid with no success.
- Burke Slusher: nominated at AfD; notified Kcpace (talk · contribs) 17:35, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:COI issues since its inception in 2007 and has even been edited by Slusher himself at one point. This explains why this article is currently a CV rather than an encyclopaedia article. Content issues aside, this also has WP:NFOOTBALL concerns as the subject only seems to have, at best, been an assistant coach in a semi-pro league. The only somewhat decent coverage is on his USL Soccer profile page. Everything else is either insignificant or non-independent. ProQuest and Google News come back with nothing. Google itself is filled mostly with Wikipedia mirrors.
- Chris Sørensen (footballer, born 1989): nominated at AfD; notified Kalaha (talk · contribs) 18:05, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not to be confused with the much more notable Chris Sørensen. No professional appearances listed at SofaScore but there is one minute of football at Super Stats meaning that Sørensen has, at best, a weak presumption of meeting WP:GNG. Searching his name in conjunction with the clubs that he played for brings back no apparent significant coverage of him. Clear consensus that GNG is far more important than any presumption of notability gained from playing one minute of professional sport.
- Kangjam Jibai Singh: nominated at AfD; notified Regbxj (talk · contribs) 12:51, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Disclosed paid editing (after some encouragement). There are claims to notability present so, upon reflection, WP:A7 was probably inappropriate and was likely not actioned for that reason. The claim to notability here is that he has completed some major projects for the Government of Manipur but the sources do not support this. Searching "Kangjam Jibai Singh" brings back absolutely nothing. I also fail to see how Crediwatch is a valid source. I am willing to play with the idea maybe some sources exist in another language but my concern is that the creator, who has a disclosed close connection with the subject, has been unable to offer any. Currently, there are no reliable sources to support WP:BIO and this is currently a violation of WP:NOTLINKEDIN.
- Dániel Totka: nominated at AfD; notified Krisztian Horvath (talk · contribs) 13:31, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: According to the reliable HLSZ, none of his Hungarian games were at the professional level. Similarly, according to World Football, the 2 Swiss games were also below professional level. This leaves us with one game in Cyprus listed on Soccerway as the sole weak claim to notability. A Hungarian search failed to yield any non-database coverage and the best source found in Google searches was Sport Net, which is not even close to enough coverage for WP:GNG. Clear consensus that GNG takes priority over any SNG in marginal cases.
- Furness Premier Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 19:05, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Many recent discussions on leagues at the same level and with similar weak claims to notability have been closed as delete, for example Guildford and Woking Alliance League and Mid-Somerset Football League. This league is at least 3 tiers below the rule-of-thumb provided by WP:FOOTYN and so WP:GNG needs to be met to qualify for an article. Google searches come back with very, very little. The best that I can find are some passing mentions in NWE Mail such as this and this. A league needs to have significant coverage in more than one news source, especially considering that it's a minor local paper. British newspaper searches of "Furness Premier League" and "Furness Premier Football League" returned absolutely nothing.
- Philemon Nana Akomeah: nominated at AfD; notified Kyung-heeu2030 (talk · contribs) 19:26, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Possible failure of WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. The appearances for Telecom Egypt and Yeni Malatyaspor are unverified and, in any case, neither of these clubs were playing in an WP:FPL at that time. I found one small Ghana Soccernet article about a collapse and also some transfer rumour coverage relating to Slavia Sofia and another for Sepahan. I am completely unable to verify that he ever actually played for either of those two clubs, if he did then he would certainly be notable. Soccerway covers both the top tier of Bulgaria and of Iran but a search for his name fails to find him.
- Rabia Civan: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:01, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet our current inclusion criteria for footballers and there is clear consensus from many recent discussions such as those for İpek Özgan and Büşra Demirörs. All of the article's current references are either stats databases or squad list mentions. Not one of them takes Civan to one side and provides any type of in-depth analysis. A WP:BEFORE search including but not limited to Google News and a DDG Turkish search came back with more squad list mentions but, again, nothing addressing Civan directly and in depth. Civan therefore does not meet WP:GNG unless anyone is able to provide evidence of multiple reliable sources showing significant coverage.
- Sümeyra Kıvanç: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article is currently a prose version of her Turkish Football Federation stats page. A similar case to Büşra Demirörs in that this is another semi-pro footballer that doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL. Searches, including a Turkish source search, yielded this match report, which mentions her a couple of times, some videos and a bunch of U17 and U19 squad lists which don't add up to a GNG pass.
- Ümran Özev: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The article is pieced together from stats coverage only as none of the references offered in the article have any meaningful prose relating to Özev, who has only played in WP:NOTFPL leagues and at youth level for Turkey. Based on the lack of coverage found in Google News and a Turkish DDG search, I am not convinced that this BLP passes WP:GNG.
- Ayşe Şevval Ay: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:57, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to recently deleted İpek Özgan and Büşra Demirörs. Ay's appearances at youth level and in WP:NOTFPL leagues do not confer notability. Current references are a stats page and 4 mentions in passing. Google News has nothing of any substance, Google has only stats pages and Wikipedia mirrors as does a DDG source search centred on Turkish sources. No evidence to support a claim towards WP:GNG, which is ultimately what would be required here.
December 2021
[edit]- Constantinos Louvaris: nominated at AfD; notified ChrisStavrou (talk · contribs) 19:35, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His 67 mins of league football and 45 mins of cup football provide only a very weak presumption of notability. A search, including one involving Greek sources yielded only a transfer announcement (translated), a post on his club's own website and a copied and pasted post from his Facebook page (translated). None of this is independent WP:SIGCOV.
- Jajang (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 19:54, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer played 3 games in January 2013 then his career seemingly ended as there is no indication anywhere of any ongoing career. In the context of the Asuka Nose AfD, where a footballer with 6 professional games was deleted, I would argue that a footballer with 3 games should also be deleted unless any significant coverage is found to indicate, at the very least, a likelihood of passing WP:GNG. Searches such as this one yield only coverage about footballers with similar names such as Jajang Mulyana, Jajang Sukmara and Jajang Nurjaman all of whom warrant articles. There is nothing at all about this Jajang, though, and even the other language Wikipedia articles for Jajang have no meaningful content so I can't see this article having any potential to be anything more than a Soccerway mirror.
- Tawfik Alolo: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 20:08, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of a competitive appearance for AC Horsens or Olympique de Marseille so this actually fails WP:NFOOTBALL (please note that the Ghanaian league is now at WP:NOTFPL following a lengthy discussion). None of the 3 cited sources provide significant, detailed coverage of Alolo. Google News searches of Toufiq Alolo, Tawfik Alolo and Toffik Alolo bring back nothing at all. Using a DDG search, I was able to find a match report in Modern Ghana that mentions him in passing but nothing towards WP:GNG.
- 1977 Tunisia v Egypt football match: nominated at AfD; notified محمد أمين الطرابلسي (talk · contribs) 20:51, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: From previous AfDs on football matches this year, we have a very high bar for notability. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bremer SV 0–12 FC Bayern Munich and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liverpool F.C. 1–2 Grimsby Town F.C. (2001) for example. There is no evidence of any WP:LASTING notability here or any WP:GEOSCOPE - was this match covered widely across the globe and is it continually revisited, even many decades later? I can't see anything to suggest this. I appreciate that this game led to Tunisia qualifying for their first World Cup but there is no notability guideline that means we need to keep an article just because it led to a team qualifying for a major tournament. References fail to show significant coverage in line with WP:GNG and the topic is adequately covered in 1978 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF) and Egypt–Tunisia football rivalry among other places and there is no reason to have a WP:NOTSTATS-violating article on this match. I did do a quick WP:BEFORE search to see if I could find some detailed coverage of this game but it was just stats databases like the ones cited already.
- Christos Charalambous: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 11:47, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The sole weak claim to notability is 5 mins of football 5 years ago, after which he played in the lower divisions for a bit then seemingly disappeared altogether. There is plenty of consensus that such a claim to notability can be challenged and WP:GNG can and should take priority in such cases. With that in mind, I did a Greek language source search and a Google News search returned no coverage about this particular Charalambous. There is a Dialogos journalist of the exact same name which distorts the results. Also, please don't be fooled by articles like this one; this relates to a 45 year old coach so clearly not the same man.
- Zannetos Mytidis: nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 12:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP either written by Mytidis himself or his agent. He has 2 games of football to his name which provides a technical and weak passing of WP:NFOOTBALL but there is clear consensus within the community that such a weak passing of the SNG does not provide protection from needing to pass WP:GNG. A Google News search yielded nothing decent and nor did a Greek language search. Coverage in Sigma Live is weak stuff like this. No detailed independent coverage of the footballer.
- Filip Borowski: nominated at AfD; notified KibolLP (talk · contribs) 15:41, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was sent to draft on a WP:TOOSOON basis and appears to have been prematurely moved back. Still doesn't pass WP:NFOOTBALL as his cup games against Garbarnia Kraków and Znicz Pruszków do not count as, in both cases, the opposition team was playing in the II liga, which is not listed at WP:FPL. Aside from that, he gets a lot of Google News hits but none of these articles actually seem to address Borowski in any great detail. Similar lack of detailed coverage in a Polish source search. None of the current references seem to demonstrate WP:GNG either.
- Mokhtar Amalou: nominated at AfD; notified Zombrito (talk · contribs) 10:17, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Being FIFA listed and refereeing a couple of minor finals is not enough to keep an article on a referee in lieu of passing WP:GNG; see deletion discussions for Michael Kennedy (referee), Angelo Nardi (referee), Ronald Gutiérrez (referee) and several others from the past 12 months that clearly show consensus towards the need for significant coverage.Searches of "مختارامالو" return zero useful coverage and only direct Wikipedia mirrors. Searches of "Mokhtar Amalou" come up with nothing better than basic stats pages like World Football and Playmaker Stats. His World Referee page does contain some info but it's not clear where it comes from. According to this, World Referee takes emails from people if unsure about a referee so it's likely that the World Referee is entirely user submitted information and therefore unreliable. It's also worth noting that the creator of this article is an WP:SPA clearly here only to promote Amalou; see warnings at User talk:Zombrito.
- Didi Gento Paroy: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 10:52, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer made a handful of appearances in 2012 totalling less than 3 matches in terms of game time then subsequently disappeared with no sign of an ongoing career. Clear consensus at Masayo Sato AfD and Asuka Nose AfD as well as several others that a weak passing of WP:NFOOTBALL is insufficient when WP:GNG is comprehensively failed. Searches of Didi Paroy and Didi Gento Paroy in Indonesian sources yield absolutely nothing useful at all. The best that I can find in Google is a passing mention in Tribun News, which is not even close to significant coverage.
- Dudi Hidayat: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 11:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His 177 minutes of football almost a decade ago is only a very, very weak presumption of WP:GNG. An Indonesian source search yields only passing coverage of namesakes and nothing about this particular Dudi. Searching through Google, I only found a passing mention in Bola.
- First Light - Short Film: nominated at AfD; notified Csammut (talk · contribs) 13:28, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A three and a half minute short film on YouTube with no apparent significant coverage. I can't see any claim to passing any of the criteria at WP:NFILM nor any coverage outside of social media that would allow a passing of WP:GNG. This article is written by Christopher Sammut who also happens to be the director, writer, producer and lead actor for this film; a case of undisclosed WP:COI - whilst this is not a reason for deletion in itself, it certainly doesn't help its cause.
- Kastrijot Ndau: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 14:12, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who has never played at WP:FPL level or senior international level and the article makes no claim to notability. Google News only has passing mentions in local match reports and a Swiss search yielded nothing better. German Wikipedia has an article on him with only one semi-decent source. This talks about his cameo appearance for Albania U21 and accuses him of using it as a stunt to get into the Switzerland U20 team but doesn't contain any significant detail on Ndau himself at all and seems to be just using him to make a point. Regardless, one semi-decent source does not demonstrate WP:GNG, which generally calls for multiple sources.
- Balázs Bergmann: nominated at AfD; notified Krisztian Horvath (talk · contribs) 11:15, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 15 years ago, he played 155 mins of professional football then dropped to a lower level and, in the same season, completely disappeared. He has no trace of a career since 2006 so the likelihood of a future professional appearance is low, therefore, I would oppose sending to draft. Clear consensus at hundreds of recent discussions that WP:GNG must be met in these types of cases. Google News yielded nothing in the Hungarian name order and western name order. Similarly, this Hungarian source search also yielded zilch. All I can find are stats pages like BeSoccer and World Football, which confirm the weak WP:NFOOTBALL pass but bring us nothing towards GNG.
- Maili Forbes: nominated at AfD; notified Hmlarson (talk · contribs) 11:36, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer with a very, very brief career limited only to WP:NOTFPL leagues. No caps mentioned on Soccerway or Ozfootball. A search of Google News yields two squad list mentions. DDG yields nothing of note either. Source analysis to follow.
- Loizos Michael: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 11:46, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: His 76 minutes of football over 11 years ago provide, at best, a weak presumption of WP:GNG. When searching in the Greek language through Google News and DDG, only results about namesakes can be found. Similarly, when searching in English, all the results seem to be about an academic of the same name. I can't find any indication that this semi-pro footballer, who just so happened to make 2 professional appearances back in the day, is actually notable.
- Dujso: nominated at AfD; notified NoelDujso (talk · contribs) 17:40, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The surname exists but it's extremely rare - see My Heritage and Acta Croatica. In fact, there are currently no articles on people with this surname on Wikipedia, so there is no potential to quickly convert this into a disambiguation page. I couldn't see any significant coverage of this surname in my searches of 'Dujso' and 'Дујсо' so possibly fails WP:GNG.
- Aidan Dowling: nominated at AfD; notified Jcshy (talk · contribs) 20:54, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale by User:Joseywales1961 was Fails the notability guidelines of WP:NFOOTBALL as he has not yet played a game in a fully professional league per list at WP:FPL, fails general notability.Contested because the article was previously deleted in June 2008 when the subject was 5 years of age.His only appearances to date have been in the English 7th tier, which is three whole tiers below professional football so I agree that NFOOTBALL is comprehensively failed. Coverage is routine and trivial and falls short of WP:GNG clearly. The only decent source is this Lancs Live article but even this is little more than a basic contract announcement followed by a quote from the player. The actual independent analysis is very limited. Even if this is considered a good source, GNG clearly requires multiple sources of significant depth and I couldn't find evidence of this online.
- Barnsley and District Junior Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Brainyboy2012 (talk · contribs) 10:27, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I have run a few searches and I couldn't find any significant news coverage of this league, so it seems unlikely to pass WP:GNG (or WP:NORG if we are treating it as an organisation). Local children's football leagues are almost never notable and Central Warwickshire Youth Football League, Norfolk Combined Youth Football League, Loch Lomond Youth Soccer Festival and Taichung World Youth Football Festival were all deleted recently so there is enough consensus within the community that this isn't notable.
- Malaysia national under-19 football team former squads: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 10:45, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Consensus at this recent AfD was that exhaustive lists of national team squads were unnecessary, even at the senior level. It stands to reason, then, that exhaustive U-19 squads would be even less likely to be required. Squad lists are retained at the tournament pages, such as 2016 AFF U-19 Youth Championship squads and 2018 AFC U-19 Championship squads and I see no reason to keep any of the other information presented in the article. Wikipedia is not an exhaustive stats database, I see no way that this would pass WP:LISTN or any other guideline and it's a WP:NOTSTATS violation as the Sudan one was last month.
- List of goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo in all senior matches: nominated at AfD; notified JustMeEdit (talk · contribs) 22:24, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Per the clear consensus at a similar AfD relating to Lionel Messi, this type of list violates WP:NOTSTATS and should be deleted.
- List of TAN(Gold Chains TB) Episodes: nominated at AfD; notified Uriah200056 (talk · contribs) 11:42, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to be a hoax made up by the article creator. See results of this Filipino search and this Filipino search involving the long name. The same searches being conducted through Google also yield nothing, likewise with Google Books.
- János Birtalan: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 17:27, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing one minute of professional league football almost 10 years ago, there seems to be very little evidence of a WP:GNG pass, which would be required. See recent AfDs for Márk Kónya and Tamás Csepregi for this consensus. Google News and a Hungarian source search has a few hits but none of the coverage is in any significant depth at all. He, for example, gets passing mentions in Nemzeti Sport but this clearly doesn't count towards notability in any way.
- Thailand national under-17 football team results: nominated at AfD; notified Oppufc (talk · contribs) 08:31, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: For the same reasons as at the the Bhutan AfD as well as almost 10 other active AfDs that are similar. This does violate WP:NOTSTATS and coverage from RSSSF, ASEAN Football and AFC is stats-only and therefore not significant. List does not meet WP:LISTN or WP:GNG and under-17 football is not inherently notable (i.e. playing at under-17 level does not guarantee you an article, due to youth football getting hardly any coverage compared to senior level).
- 2021 SAFF U-16 Women's Championship: nominated at AfD; notified Footy2000 (talk · contribs) 13:18, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: In this edit, a PROD was added claiming that the tournament was cancelled but this was later removed by another IP with no explanation. This Goal.com reference is only a passing mention and, considering that this tournament was supposed to have happened 4 months ago, I can't find any mention of it all anywhere. Perhaps someone with better searching skills than me will have better luck but I have tried many search terms and I can't find one single news source or match report relating to this tournament. If it did get cancelled as the IP editor suggested, I can't even find a news source about the cancellation! If no news coverage can be found, my strong suggestion is to delete the article for failing WP:V, WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT.
- Vasu Kanojiya: nominated at AfD; notified Shubhamkushwaha269 (talk · contribs) 19:21, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Amateur footballer with only passing mentions in the media. He hasn't even come close to playing at the level required by WP:NFOOTBALL and comprehensively fails WP:GNG.
- Lauren Briggs (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified WOFOeditor352 (talk · contribs) 09:14, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Briggs has never played a professional game as Durham have never been in the FA Women's Super League although they have come close on a couple of occasions. A quick WP:BEFORE shows that there isn't a great deal of independent coverage for Briggs and that the creator has done their best with the limited coverage available. As per my source analysis below, I don't think that the coverage is enough for WP:GNG. She does not currently meet either criterion under WP:NFOOTBALL either. Only WP:ATD would be to draftify until her WSL debut, however, there is no guarantee that Durham will get promoted or that she will transfer to a professional team so, in my view, deletion is better for now.
- Finn Harps F.C. 1–0 Waterford F.C. (2020): nominated at AfD; notified Mwiqdoh (talk · contribs) 09:46, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: As per this AfD, this one and this one, we have a very, very high bar for notability for an individual football match and I'm not seeing how this match meets those standards. I'm certainly not seeing WP:GEOSCOPE - was this game so remarkable that it was covered across the globe in significant depth? Are we likely to see WP:LASTING notability? The game was a game that Finn Harps absolutely had to win to avoid a relegation play-off scrap but, apart from that, I can't see any claim to notability. We have hundreds of 'must win' league games every season across the world. Why does this one warrant a separate article? Is there anything else notable about the game? It doesn't appear that it broke any records regarding goals scored, red cards received, attendance or any other records that usually justify a stand-alone article. The sentence mentioning this match in Finn Harps F.C. seems enough.
- Alireza Jalili (actor): nominated at AfD; notified Amir.J002 (talk · contribs) 19:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NACTOR requires significant roles in multiple notable productions. Whilst Jalili does have two roles in notable productions - the role of Muhammad in Muhammad: The Messenger of God (film) was relatively minor - he only appeared briefly as 6 year old Muhammad and two other actors played the 8 year old and 12 year old Muhammad - see Variety. His other role was in the The Orphanage of Iran and this appears to be uncredited and insignificant according to the sources provided.Aside from that, I see no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or any other claim of notability or significance. Probable COI as the article creator declares that Alireza's brother is called Amir and the creator has chosen Amir.J002 as their username.
January 2022
[edit]- Emmanuel Paga: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 16:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Soccerway has 14 youth games for Paga and GSA has 4 games but only 52 minutes in a WP:NOTFPL league, therefore, Paga fails WP:NFOOTBALL. All of the cited sources are either stats pages, articles from clubs that he played for or trivial transfer rumours, no significant coverage. Google News has nothing more than a couple of small transfer announcements and DDG only yields Modern Ghana, which is basically a slight rewording of one of the other transfer announcements found through Google News. Paga does not currently pass WP:GNG, in my view.
- Helene Nordin: nominated at AfD; notified Smartskaft (talk · contribs) 16:17, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced biography. The footballer of this name doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or any other appropriate guideline. Google News only seems to have coverage relating to the politician of the same name. Likewise when searching in the Swedish newspaper database and DDG. The two references in the article are passing mentions and do nothing to justify an article on Nordin.
- Emma Liljegren: nominated at AfD; notified Smartskaft (talk · contribs) 16:51, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced biography on someone who possibly fails WP:GNG and does not seem to have any other claim to notability. Google News has nothing. ProQuest has nothing. A Swedish newspaper search yielded a few hits but none of them are relevant to football and most seem to be wedding announcements, childbirth announcements and other routine local paper coverage which doesn't establish encyclopaedic notability. A Swedish source search using DDG was also unsuccessful. I did find one news article about her but the coverage is minimal and not enough to justify an article.
- Philip Ackah: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 09:37, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Ghana and Oman are both WP:NOTFPL so there's no claim to meeting WP:NFOOTBALL anyway (worth noting that all of the appearances are unverified anyway - none of the stats pages on him seem to list them). Only one tiny transfer announcement in Google News and nothing at all in DDG or ProQuest so there is no evidence of WP:GNG. References currently in the article are a stats database profile, two transfer announcements with barely any info on him that mostly duplicate each other and an unreliable source relating to Football Manager 2020, a computer game.
- David Kugumgag: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 11:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Recent consensus from Noway AfD and Igesumai AfD that caps for Micronesia are not an automatic notability pass any more. I'm putting Kugumgag up for deletion as I could not locate any reliable sources showing WP:GNG-level coverage. In fact, I couldn't really find anything other than the two sources already used in the article, which simply confirm his one non-FIFA cap.
- Paul Cantero: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 11:55, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Recent consensus from Noway AfD and Igesumai AfD that caps for Micronesia are not an automatic notability pass any more. I'm putting Cantero up for deletion as I could not locate any reliable sources showing WP:GNG-level coverage. In fact, I couldn't really find anything other than the two sources already used in the article, which simply confirm his one non-FIFA cap.
- Ebru Aydın (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:29, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to recently deleted İpek Özgan and Büşra Demirörs. Aydın has only played in WP:NOTFPL leagues and her caps for Turkey are only at youth level, youth caps don't confer notability. This source has about 3 sentences that mention her and the rest either only contain one mention or they are stats websites. Per strong consensus, Aydın is required to meet WP:GNG but I could find nothing about her in a Turkish search. Some coverage of Ebru Aydın exists but nothing really about the footballer of this name that would justify an article.
- Demet Kılınç: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:38, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with Yonca Şentürk and the articles linked in her AfD, we have a clear consensus that WP:NOTFPL apperances and youth appearances fail to establish notability. It is WP:GNG and only GNG that should determine the article's fate. All 9 references currently in the article provide only trivial mentions of the subject. A Turkish search also failed to yield even one example of significant coverage in independent WP:RS so, as far as I can see, this is an obvious case for deletion.
- Cansu Gürel: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 18:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with Yonca Şentürk and the articles linked in her AfD, we have a clear consensus that WP:NOTFPL apperances and youth appearances fail to establish notability. It is WP:GNG and only GNG that should determine the article's fate. The one source cited that comes even close to showing decent coverage is the Hurriyet piece but it's not enough on its own and the article contains no in-depth analysis of Gürel at all. Google searches and a Turkish search failed to yield even one instance of significant coverage in WP:RS.
- Adan Santiago Goc-ong Igut: nominated at AfD; notified Lemonade-Mango (talk · contribs) 10:15, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: All of the references fail verification apart from the extremely unreliable IMDb. I can't find anything about his Christian film and music career nor his general acting career, despite the grand claims. His video game career also seems to be unverifiable. Likewise with his fight for LGBT rights. Someone with more familiarity with Filipino sources may be able to do better but the several fake references make it very hard for me to WP:AGF here.
- Bad Best Friends Boys For Life: nominated at AfD; notified AceEditionFanPage (talk · contribs) 13:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NTV requires such articles as this to meet either WP:GNG or one of the other principles such as those outlined at WP:TVSERIES. This article makes no claim to notability and there is almost nothing coming up in searches of "Bad Best Friends Boys for Life" or "Young King Slaton", indicating that this topic is not notable. Sadly, such topics don't fit WP:A7.
- Ace Edition: nominated at AfD; notified 2601:C1:C000:4040:BD85:6FE3:584C:9C1F (talk · contribs) 14:00, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There is some debate as to whether Genius is a reliable source in this context as per WP:RSPS. I have conducted a few searches and I can't find any coverage of this band outside Genius and other lyrics databases. Even searching in conjunction with the names of their several albums and several band members yields zilch. Fails WP:NBAND and WP:GNG. Please ping me if reliable sources showing significant coverage are found or reliable evidence of chart success.
- Caspar Alpsten: nominated at AfD; notified Henrytoxteth15 (talk · contribs) 18:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to find any significant coverage in my sources to confirm WP:GNG notability. Also doesn't seem to meet WP:NMUSICIAN, WP:CREATIVE or WP:ANYBIO. Every single source cited is self-published and I couldn't locate any WP:RS on Alpsten.
- Stefanos Kafataris: nominated at AfD; notified Micropacer (talk · contribs) 18:44, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL as Ermis Aradippou FC are not playing in the 2021–22 Cypriot First Division so his league appearances are at semi-pro level. U17 games for Cyprus also do not confer notability. Neither of the sources cited count towards WP:GNG and Google News and DDG have nothing to offer even when searching in the Greek language, save for a couple of passing mentions in squad lists.
- Alpsten family: nominated at AfD; notified Raindropcroptop (talk · contribs) 19:02, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Created by an WP:SPA solely dedicated to creating articles on this family, which seems to have no WP:RS coverage. Even the basic claim that they originate from Småland doesn't seem to be covered anywhere. The only member of the family who is potentially notable is Ellen Alpsten and even that's questionable. Wikipedia is not a web host for vanity projects like this so the article should be deleted.
- File:Fuad Ganbarov 250.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified FuadQənbərov(1999) (talk · contribs) 19:38, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: #*Delete - was tagged by a bot because it has no copyright info or any other information about its origin. I suggest it be deleted because it is an orphaned image with no possible encyclopaedic use as far as I can see.
- Tobias Alpsten: nominated at AfD; notified Raindropcroptop (talk · contribs) 21:39, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested WP:A7 speedy deletion. Clearly fails WP:GNG with zero reliable sources. Part of a recent spree by WP:SPA accounts promoting the Alpsten family; see Alpsten family, Ellen Alpsten and Caspar Alpsten. No claim to meeting WP:ANYBIO. To be honest, I'm not sure what the actual claim to notability is here. Wikipedia doesn't need an article on every single person who founds a company, LinkedIn is a better and more appropriate platform for promotion than Wikipedia.During my WP:BEFORE search I found trivial coverage only; see Chronicle Live and Digital LA. Such coverage does not count towards GNG.
- Roami Khan: nominated at AfD; notified Roami khan (talk · contribs) 07:08, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite alleged involvement in several notable productions including Ghazi Shaheed, Alpha Bravo Charlie and Dhuwan (all of which have been edited heavily by the same WP:SPA), I was unable to find any coverage when searching "Roami Khan" or when searching "Roamer Khan". The sources provided by the creator fail to even mention Khan.
- Loizos Papasavva: nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 18:46, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: With only 106 mins of professional football, Papasavva has, at best, a weak presumption of notability here. I am aware that he played two cup games but these were while playing for a club in the 2014–15 Cypriot Second Division, so don't count towards notability. Zero coverage found in Google News and only Wikipedia mirrors found in a Greek language search. The massive WP:GNG failure means that I recommend deletion here as clearly this sportsperson isn't notable enough to warrant an article in a global encyclopaedia.
- Sotiris Fiakas: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 19:34, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing the last 15 mins of a single football match five years ago, there is no evidence of notability for Fiakas. None of the hits in a Greek language Google News search nor a Greek language DDG search show significant coverage. Per clear consensus on similar articles on footballers that fail WP:GNG, the article should be deleted.
- Milen Mitev: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 19:54, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 2 football matches over 10 years ago at the professional level but has spent his subsequent career at amateur/semi-pro level. This cited source fails to show any significant coverage of Mitev. Likewise Google searches and a Bulgarian source search yield only coverage of a lawyer of the exact same name. In fact, the only coverage I can find of this particular Mitev is a trivial mention in Plovdiv24, which is far from WP:GNG. GNG is absolutely required when the WP:NFOOTBALL pass is so trivial.
- Amos Dadet: nominated at AfD; notified Agd30 (talk · contribs) 21:37, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Apparently, he only has appearances in the second tier of Slovenia, so does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL. In my searches, I was unable to locate any coverage that would allow for a passing of WP:GNG.
- Rayan Al Harbi (footballer, born 1992): nominated at AfD; notified Gulfup (talk · contribs) 20:06, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not to be confused with Rayan Al-Harbi (footballer, born 1994). The 97 minutes of play which constitutes a very weak WP:NFOOTBALL pass is insufficient unless there is at least some sign of being able to pass WP:GNG, which is not presented in this article or the Arabic Wikipedia version. His cup games don't count as Al-Tai FC were not playing in the 2017–18 Saudi Professional League. Searches in Google News and DDG failed to yield any obvious significant coverage. Happy to look at sources if anyone can bring anything to this discussion to show that the subject meets GNG.
- Rayan Al-Harbi (footballer, born 1994): nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 20:24, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not to be confused with Rayan Al-Harbi (footballer, born 1992). His Kooora page has the wrong DOB and fails to list even one professional appearance. I found him on Soccerway but this has only a trivial professional career, with only 97 mins of professional football recorded, barely more than one single game's worth of time. His cup games for Al-Tai FC occurred when they were not playing in the 2017–18 Saudi Professional League, so don't count for anything either. He was called up to the Saudi Arabia national under-23 football team but failed to play. WP:GNG absolutely needs to be looked at here as the WP:NFOOTBALL pass is not at all significant.Searches in Google News and DDG failed to yield any obvious significant coverage. Happy to look at sources if anyone can bring anything to this discussion to show that the subject meets GNG.
- Kourosh Torbat Zadeh: nominated at AfD; notified Kourosh Torbat Zad (talk · contribs) 22:54, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Recreated several times today. The first attempt was speedy deleted for multiple reasons but the second one was given a chance by being sent to draft (Draft:Kourosh Torbat Zadeh), indicating that the topic has potential merit. A third identical copy has now been posted again in mainspace, which is usually an attempt to game the system. None of the sources show significant coverage. This one looks to be the best but is actually written by Torbat Zadeh himself and is a press release, so is not WP:RS. A Persian search also yielded nothing apart from his own social media. There is no clear evidence that he passes WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:NACTOR either.
- Marios Georgiou (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 17:29, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: He played one game of professional football then spent the rest of his career as a semi-pro/amateur. AEK Larnaca were previously playing in the 2009–10 Cypriot Second Division so his alleged 18 appearances for them, even if correct, are not guaranteed to be top tier appearances. His two cup games for ASIL Lysi took place while they were playing in the 2015–16 Cypriot Second Division and the 2016–17 Cypriot Second Division so no claim to notability can be made from them. Searches in Google News and DDG yielded plenty of in-depth coverage of Marios Georgiou (gymnast) but nothing about this semi-pro footballer. WP:GNG not demonstrated.
- Chris Vicious: nominated at AfD; notified JohnnyBensonn (talk · contribs) 18:39, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly recreated. Escapes WP:A7 because of "He gained popularity through the social media website MySpace". No such vocalist/guitarist has ever performed for From First to Last or Matchbook Romance as far as I can tell. Several sources cited but none of them mention a 'Chris Vicious'.No hits here or here. Someone with better access to sources relating to this genre of music may have better luck but, for now, my opinion is that this should be deleted. Don't redirect to either band until the claim that he performed with them can be verified by a reliable source.
- Al Imran Mahin: nominated at AfD; notified Masudraba7576567 (talk · contribs) 19:52, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:ANYBIO, WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG. No reliable sources cited, only press releases which are clearly paid for by the subject. Full source analysis to follow.
- Muaiad Admawi: nominated at AfD; notified Boomage (talk · contribs) 13:03, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Almost a decade ago, this man played 74 mins of professional sport. The sources are database websites only and the article is just a prose version of his Soccerway entry. Slstat is preserved here and clearly has no WP:GNG coverage. He has a cup game listed on his Soccerway page but this occurred when Al Wehda FC were not playing in the 2013–14 Saudi Professional League following their relegation in the 2012–13 Saudi Professional League, therefore it doesn't confer notability.Searching "مؤيد أدماوي" yields a couple of passing mentions in Sport KSA and a match day squad listing in Makkah News. None of this complies with GNG either. Clear consensus from well over 100 recent AfDs that footballers who trivially meet WP:NFOOTBALL but fail GNG should be deleted.
- Sadeq Al-Ahmed: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 13:20, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another in a line of Soccerway mirror articles created by long-term vandal Mhsohaib. While he has participated in 3 games of professional football, his playing time is only 32 minutes, which is less than half a game of football. He has played in a cup game but not while playing for a WP:FPL club at the time.Searching "صادق الأحمد" yielded very little coverage and none of it seems to be significant. I found a transfer announcement in Ar Riyadiyah, which is one sentence long. I then found trivial mentions in Al Yaum and Al Riyadh. None of this demonstrates WP:GNG. Consensus is that such articles should be deleted unless significant coverage can be demonstrated.
- DJ Ryan Hall: nominated at AfD; notified Ibrakadabra16 (talk · contribs) 14:15, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything to suggest Hall passes WP:NFOOTBALL, WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG. Full source analysis will follow. I found Tudo Pelo Futebol in a WP:BEFORE search but, with no games listed there, it doesn't establish notability.
- Michalis Prodromou: nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 18:03, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite 107 mins of football to his name, I was unable to find any coverage that would count towards WP:GNG. Searching in English and in Greek, I couldn't find anything decent. Google News has nothing. A source search in Greek also had nothing. Marginal WP:NFOOTBALL pass but nothing towards GNG so, in my view, this should be deleted unless significant coverage turns up.
- Amirul Syafik: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 18:52, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted previously for failing WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. This remains relevant. The two new references added are passing mentions only. Malaysian searches of Amirul Syafik and the alternative spelling of Amirul Shafik yielded very little. Passing mentions like Kosmo and Utusan don't cut it. This article shouldn't be restored until a clear amount of WP:SIGCOV is demonstrated.
- Famous Amir: nominated at AfD; notified Amirrezapl2r (talk · contribs) 20:59, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the cited sources show significant coverage (all are user generated and/or lyrics websites). This source doesn't seem to even mention Famous Amir. A Persian source search yielded next to nothing.
- Takaki Ose: nominated at AfD; notified WNkh (talk · contribs) 08:29, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted last year for failing WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. He is still not playing at the professional level so there is no claim to the latter guideline. In terms of GNG, the one cited source is not significant coverage; it's just a contract renewal announcement. I found him mentioned in an image caption here but that also doesn't establish anything. If anyone can show clear significant, detailed coverage I will happily withdraw but, for now, I see no reason why this article shouldn't be deleted for a third time.
- Saveng Samnang: nominated at AfD; notified WNkh (talk · contribs) 08:45, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted 3 years ago for failing WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. This third attempt to create the article makes no claim to notability. Being Goalkeeper of the Season in a semi-pro league is not sufficient for a stand-alone article on its own. The native form of his name is "សាវែង សំណាង". I didn't find any in-depth coverage when searching here or here.
- Emmanuel Mbarga: nominated at AfD; notified WNkh (talk · contribs) 09:01, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway and other databases he has not played in a WP:FPL so fails WP:NFOOTBALL. I conducted a French search to see if there was any coverage of his amateur career in France but found little. I also did a Portuguese search for his amateur career in Portugal to no avail. I did find this Khmer Times article but it isn't significant coverage since most of it is derived from an announcement from people associated with his club. It makes an erroneous claim that he played for Cameroon internationally but there is no profile at NFT for him.
- Salah Eddine Saadouni: nominated at AfD; notified Vikestar123 (talk · contribs) 19:45, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: A lot of cross-wiki spam and sockpuppetry around this person since April 2021. Recreated again today by a supposedly new account. Clearly fails WP:CREATIVE having never been involved in a notable piece of work. No significant coverage of Saadouni himself either so fails WP:GNG. Source analysis to follow.
- Nazri Muhammad: nominated at AfD; notified Thaiais (talk · contribs) 21:31, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not to be confused with Muhd Nazri Ahmad, who is notable. Nazri Muhammad has never played a game at WP:FPL level so fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Searches such as this and this failed to show any coverage that would count towards WP:GNG.
February 2022
[edit]- Olimjon Karimov: nominated at AfD; notified Ban kharkongor (talk · contribs) 09:10, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Has only made appearances in WP:NOTFPL leagues to date (checking Football Database as well as Soccerway) so no claim to WP:NFOOTBALL. Searches such as this and this only provide trivial coverage so WP:GNG is not established.
- Greg Maluma: nominated at AfD; notified Lktguy (talk · contribs) 13:15, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to be related to Gregson Maluma which was deleted after clear consensus here. Some of the sources appear to be new so I'm not sure that this qualifies for speedy deletion. A lot of the sources look like self-published spam and there is no claim to meeting WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NSPORT or any other guideline. Source analysis to follow. I did a WP:BEFORE search but found nothing additional.
- Zacharie Mbenda: nominated at AfD; notified Ban kharkongor (talk · contribs) 22:40, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who has only played at semi-pro/amateur level with no apparent significant coverage. Soccerway has nothing for him. Google News has a few passing mentions. DDG similarly has a lack of detailed coverage. Not seeing enough for WP:GNG.
- Manan Sahni: nominated at AfD; notified Filmsandmore123 (talk · contribs) 11:40, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The article relies entirely on an unreliable source (see WP:IMBD). I searched for but was unable to find any evidence of being able to meet WP:FILMMAKER or WP:GNG.
- David Annas: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 12:05, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Never played in a WP:FPL league as Polis Diraja Malaysia FC were playing in the second tier of Malaysian football during the time in which it is alleged that Annas played there. Google News and DDG have nothing on him. The three relevant hits in ProQuest are passing mentions in match reports and therefore insufficient for WP:GNG. The article should be deleted unless GNG can be evidenced.
- Jeff Aryer: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 12:56, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article has existed since 2009 without even one reliable source. The Geocities source is clearly unreliable (I haven't accessed it as my computer is warning me that the site is unsafe). Google News returns nothing as does ProQuest (the search redirects to "Jeff Ayer"). I had no luck searching in DDG also. Google only returns an almost-empty Transfermarkt profile, which is unreliable as per WP:TRANSFERMARKT. The article alleges that he has played some games in a WP:NOTFPL league so there is no claim to WP:NFOOTBALL and I found no realistic chance of passing WP:GNG from my own searches.
- Chillatta: nominated at AfD; notified AhmdAsjad (talk · contribs) 16:51, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Aaron Callaghan (footballer, born 1987): nominated at AfD; notified 03md (talk · contribs) 11:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Definitely doesn't meet WP:NFOOTBALL as he has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL nor has he represented Northern Ireland at senior level. In terms of WP:GNG, none of the sources cited show anything close to significant coverage. I did find another BBC article with Callaghan mentioned but, again, it has barely any coverage. Coverage at youth level such as this also fails to address him in detail. Narrowing searches of his name down in Proquest by including Lisburn in the search does gain a few hits but they all seem to just be passing mentions in match reports and squad lists rather than detailed coverage that we can build a biography from.Please note that most hits that amount to decent coverage will actually be about Aaron Callaghan (footballer, born 1966) instead of the Callaghan subject to this AfD.
- Ahmad Indra Pattikuppa: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 11:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: 9 years ago, this player played in 4 football matches then completely disappeared. The article is referenced only to a database profile page and there is zero coverage in Google News and this Indonesian source search. Given that this comprehensively fails WP:GNG, this overrides the weak presumption of notability from his handful of games 9 years ago.
- Franky Mahendra: nominated at AfD; notified Luthfi Waskitojati (talk · contribs) 11:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No professional games (see Soccerway and FlashScore) so clearly fails WP:NFOOTBALL. The best coverage I can find is this injury announcement, this promo piece and this quote about him studying for an exam. All of those pieces are from the same local newspaper and are insufficient for WP:GNG, especially considering that he was an amateur/semi-pro footballer.
- Muhammad Ikbal: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 11:59, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite 36 mins of football (less than half of a football match in terms of actual game time) almost a decade ago, there is absolutely nothing presented in terms of WP:GNG, which is far more important in this sort of case. I found no relevant coverage in Google News or an Indonesian source search. In my view, this is a clear delete based on the lack of coverage.
- Husin Mugni: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 13:40, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created due to playing one game in the league and 3 minutes in the cup several years ago. No significant coverage cited and GSA and Football Database also confirm that the WP:NFOOTBALL pass is extremely weak and trivial. In terms of WP:GNG, I found this local news article, which is basically just a quote from him and contains little independent content. An Indonesian source search was unsuccessful in finding independent WP:RS.
- Elena Cester: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 13:50, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFOOTBALL having never played in a league listed at WP:FPL. Appears to fail WP:GNG with no significant coverage in reliable sources found when searching in Google News and an Italian source search also coming back empty handed. ProQuest also has nothing and redirects the search results to 'Elena Center' instead.
- Martin Kokaldzhiev: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 14:25, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played in 2 games 13 years ago then played as an amateur/semi-pro before disappearing. Google News has nothing on him and a Bulgarian source search has almost nothing. The best that I can find is a squad listing in Topsport, a passing mention in Blitz and an announcement about getting a 2nd yellow card in Plovdiv24. None of this is anywhere near to WP:GNG.
- Caister FC: nominated at AfD; notified Trudigator (talk · contribs) 16:17, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I gave the article a PROD because I didn't think that there was sufficient coverage for WP:GNG and I can't see any evidence of playing in the FA Vase or at a high enough level for the rule of thumb at WP:FOOTYN from FCHD. It's not that there is no coverage at all but I just think that the coverage is trivial, local paper stuff that doesn't need covering in a global encyclopaedia that doesn't wish to show any particular bias towards English men's football. In searches of the Great Yarmouth Mercury you can find stuff like a brief AGM notice and an advert asking for someone to volunteer as a linesman. In the Eastern Daily Press they are mentioned in passing in a vandalism news article and a car accident. Neither of those articles actually focus on the club itself so, for that reason, I don't think that they constitute significant coverage.
- Mizanur Rahaman: nominated at AfD; notified Mizanurrahmanhridoy.18 (talk · contribs) 20:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: An apparent autobiography of an actor which borders on being promotional and is WP:REFBOMBed with passing mentions, none of which contribute towards WP:GNG. He lacks the multiple significant roles for WP:NACTOR. I've searched but was unable to find any significant coverage in WP:RS.
- Taunton & District Saturday Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 15:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Local amateur Saturday football league of which the highest division is in the 14th tier of the English football system and the lowest division is in the 18th tier (we would never even consider having a Wikipedia article on a 14th tier local sports league in any other country)! This is in no way different to Furness Premier Football League, Mid-Somerset Football League and Guildford and Woking Alliance League all of which were deleted for failing WP:GNG and not meeting the rule of thumb outlined at WP:FOOTYN. A Google News search only has 4 results all of which are announcements relating to the league being suspended due to COVID or resuming again following the relaxing of lockdown measures. These are all in local papers with low circulation and fails to make a case for why this league should be covered in a global encyclopaedia. Google Books doesn't seem to have anything. The Western Daily Press has 4 trivial mentions of the league as per ProQuest. I searched the British Newspaper Archive only to find that coverage was limited to the Taunton Courier. In each case, the league took up a small portion of one column on one page of the newspaper edition and the stories were trivial coverage that any local organisation gets in their local paper (announcements of monthly/annual meetings and fixtures/results listings).
- Yelena Kulikova: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 21:12, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails all criteria for WP:NTENNIS as the 25K win occurred in 2008 and NTENNIS only presumes notability for 25K wins that occurred in 2007 or before. I have searched "Елена Куликова" as well as "Elena Kulikova" and "Yelena Kulikova" but not managed to find any significant coverage. The references currently used don't offer any detail either. WP:GNG cannot be achieved through simply linking to results listings on tournament websites.
- Target Test Prep: nominated at AfD; notified Anirbanchoudhury89 (talk · contribs) 20:23, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As far as I can tell, this fails WP:NCORP. The article provides links to references which only have a quote from the CEO, this type of coverage fails WP:ORGIND. I have done some searches myself but can't see any independent coverage that would be enough for WP:CORPDEPTH. Aside from that, I can't see any other actual claim to notability.
- Poddar International College: nominated at AfD; notified Engjaipur (talk · contribs) 20:40, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't often send college articles to AfD but this seemed like a clear candidate. I was going to draftify but a near-identical version already sits there (created by the same user). I'm not seeing sufficient coverage for WP:NORG, in particular WP:ORGDEPTH is not met as the coverage that I can find is just listings in Outlook India or a mention in a Brand Connect post in Forbes India which also fails WP:ORGIND. Also note that Google Books had nothing of substance and I'm not convinced by my ProQuest search either. I did find this article but it reads more like an advert for the school rather than independent journalism! I might be wrong, though.Draft:Poddar International College can stay but the mainspace article should be deleted unless clear NORG coverage can be demonstrated.
- Minna Rautajoki: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 19:59, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Following a recent RfC, the Fed Cup was removed from WP:NTENNIS and therefore Rautajoki no longer has automatic notability. Also worth mentioning that she only played in regional group games in 1999 Fed Cup Europe/Africa Zone according to BJK Cup rather than the latter stages of the tournament. The 10K doubles tournaments don't confer notability either. I conducted a few searches and found mostly database and stats coverage. A Finnish search yielded one decent source; HS but it's little more than a basic match report. We wouldn't keep sportspeople in other fields with so little coverage so I'm struggling to see a good keep argument here unless other sources turn up.
- Claudia Salgues: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 20:07, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Following a recent RfC, the Fed Cup was removed from WP:NTENNIS and therefore Salgues no longer has automatic notability. Also worth mentioning that she only played in regional group games in 2002 Fed Cup Americas Zone and 2003 Fed Cup Americas Zone according to BJK Cup rather than the latter stages of the tournament. The 10K doubles tournaments don't confer notability either. I conducted a few searches and found mostly database and stats coverage. Google and DDG returned no useful results. WP:GNG does not appear to be met on current evidence.
- Football at the 1938 Bolivarian Games – Men's team squads: nominated at AfD; notified Brayan Jaimes (talk · contribs) 09:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- RhyDizel: nominated at AfD; notified LaylaDakota (talk · contribs) 19:05, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Subtle WP:ADMASQ on a non-notable artist and businessperson. His work as a graphic artist in the music industry doesn't make him automatically notable and the sources used are all paid-for placements. For example, Voyage LA allows user submission as does Shoutout LA so those two interviews have no value in this discussion.
- Ronaldo Awudu: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 13:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article makes no claim to ever playing in a WP:FPL or a senior national team. In addition to this, the 3 sources cited are passing mentions in lengthy player lists which do not provide the necessary depth for a WP:GNG pass. I searched Awudu Ronaldo and Ronaldo Awudu through Google News with no results. In DDG, I had nothing for Ronaldo Awudu and very little for Awudu Ronaldo. The final search had a few passing mentions in match reports and stats websites but nothing more.
- Oteng Baah: nominated at AfD; notified Lotom (talk · contribs) 15:17, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 92 mins of professional football in the second tier of Serbia over five years ago, I could find nothing to indicate a passing of WP:GNG. Neither of the hits in Google News are relevant, DDG has nothing of value and ProQuest had one hit but it's about a different person of the name 'Andrew Oteng Baah' and the article relates to basketball not football. A technical WP:NFOOTBALL pass but GNG doesn't look to be met so consensus is usually to delete.
- Cantonment College, Cumilla: nominated at AfD; notified Shuvo K C (talk · contribs) 16:04, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Mags McHardy: nominated at AfD; notified Skipsgypsy (talk · contribs) 17:42, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested redirect. McHardy does not meet WP:NRU as she has never participated in a World Cup semi-final or final. Searches in Google News, Google Books, ProQuest and DDG did not yield any significant coverage hence why I felt redirecting somewhere would be appropriate due to WP:GNG failure. Deletion can also be considered if people feel that the redirect would be unhelpful/confusing.
- Elizabeth Allsopp: nominated at AfD; notified Skipsgypsy (talk · contribs) 17:52, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested redirect (to 1998 Women's Rugby World Cup squads#Scotland which contains all of the same info that the article does). Allsopp does not meet WP:NRU as she has never participated in a World Cup semi-final or final. Searches in Google News, Google Books, ProQuest and DDG did not yield any significant coverage hence why I felt redirecting somewhere would be appropriate as I'm not confident that the subject is significant enough for a stand-alone article as per WP:GNG. Deletion can also be considered if people feel that the redirect would be unhelpful/confusing.
- Louise Blamire: nominated at AfD; notified Skipsgypsy (talk · contribs) 18:07, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I believe that a redirect to 1998 Women's Rugby World Cup squads#Scotland would be useful, however, the creator has reverted the other redirects that I did so I'm going to send to AfD to establish consensus. Blamire has never played in a World Cup semi-final or final so does not meet WP:NRU. Searches in Google News, Google Books, ProQuest and DDG do not give me confidence that Blamire qualifies for a stand-alone article under the other route to notability, which is WP:GNG. ProQuest had 3 mentions in passing and the other searches didn't return any relevant hits at all.
- Giddy Up (song): nominated at AfD; notified Monstermathiaz (talk · contribs) 18:57, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NSONG and WP:GNG. No coverage outside minor blogs and doesn't appear to have charted anywhere. I oppose redirecting or merging as there are several other songs of the same name, including the 12th track in B4 the Storm. I highly doubt that this "Giddy Up" by Fe is even the most popular song of this name.
- List of high schools in Misiones, Paraguay: nominated at AfD; notified Jax 0677 (talk · contribs) 10:39, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD so needs to go to AfD. As per reasoning at several other recent AfDs in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Paraguay/archive, this also fails WP:LISTN (lack of coverage of these schools as a group) and has no navigational purpose. Also violates WP:NOT, in particular Wikipedia is not a directory of non-notable schools. Aside from that, the article is mostly WP:OR.
- Arie Priyatna: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 21:35, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: He played 21 minutes of league football and 53 minutes in the cup, which is less than one match in terms of game time. This is a very weak WP:NFOOTBALL pass so we need to look towards WP:GNG. Furthermore, he is approaching his 40th birthday, so we can hardly make any credible argument of having a future pro career.Searching Arie Priyatna yields zero sources in Google News and only Wikipedia mirror junk in DDG. Searching under the alternative name of Ari Supriatna, I managed to find this Bola article but it only qualifies as a trivial mention as he is only mentioned once in the body of the article. This falls way short of the requirement to have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.
- List of high schools in Presidente Hayes, Paraguay: nominated at AfD; notified Jax 0677 (talk · contribs) 08:25, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This Yellow Pages directory of non-notable schools should be deleted for the same reasons as many of the others in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Paraguay/archive, most of which were deleted with no opposition. All of these violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY and there is no evidence of WP:LISTN being met.
- Deepa Sree: nominated at AfD; notified AhmdAsjad (talk · contribs) 09:17, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Has had plenty of press releases on a variety of websites, which probably cost her a fair amount of money! As WP:GNG requires the coverage to be reliable and independent of the subject, we have to exclude paid-for coverage. In my searches, I found only two articles that were not an exact copy and paste of the cited press release and these were Hindustan Times (a brand post) and a very promotional blog post in Media Hindustan. I couldn't find any significant coverage in WP:RS that wasn't paid for.
- Kind Karma Worldwide: nominated at AfD; notified Budgbasics (talk · contribs) 17:10, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Charity that doesn't seem to pass the minimum standards of WP:NORG. Newspaper searches and web searches did not yield any coverage that satisfies WP:ORGDEPTH. In fact, all I can find are social media profiles controlled by the organisation such as their Twitter and LinkedIn pages, none of these indicate notability. Their founder doesn't have an article so no possibility of turning into a redirect yet.
- Evangelina Olivarez: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 16:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: User:Scope creep sent this to draft space but it was edit warred back by the creator without any improvement. It is a stats article masquerading as a sportsperson biography and the subject fails WP:NTENNIS and WP:GNG anyway! Following a recent RfC, Fed Cup was removed from NTENNIS so her 3 matches in the Fed Cup cannot be used as a keep argument on its own.I've searched extensively for sources and can't find anything to justify an article. Even this Filipino search yielded nothing. I found a passing mention in The Manila Times but that won't be enough.
- Fairlight Primary & Nursery School: nominated at AfD; notified Grey13z (talk · contribs) 21:54, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to fall short on WP:NORG and WP:GNG. Best coverage I can find is a trivial mention in the local paper and another trivial mention in this textbook relating to EAL students.
- RJ Hemant: nominated at AfD; notified Vishwas r (talk · contribs) 13:46, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The only role close to being significant is the Zombie Reddy one so he doesn't have the multiple roles needed for WP:NACTOR. The only article that I can find that gives him more than a trivial mention is this car accident report but I would argue that that's not enough for WP:GNG at all. I can't find any significant coverage of his radio career either.
- Michalis Karas: nominated at AfD; notified Argento1985 (talk · contribs) 18:26, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats entry on a subject that only marginally scrapes a WP:NFOOTBALL pass with two professional games in 2013, after which he disappeared from the professional game. Cup games in 2014 don't count as he was playing in the semi-pro 2013–14 Cypriot Second Division. A Google News search yielded nothing at all while this Greek language search failed to find any WP:SIGCOV. All I could find was EPSM24 announcing his release - this article tells us nothing that we don't already know from reading his Soccerway page. Sports Up also has an article mentioning him but this also contains no detailed coverage of Karas. Clear consensus from Loizos Papasavva, Sotiris Fiakas and others that such footballers don't meet requirements for an article.
- Anthony Maxor: nominated at AfD; notified Gri3720 (talk · contribs) 13:18, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Peter Igesumai and Paul Cantero. Has been capped twice in friendly games for a country that isn't recognised by FIFA or Caribbean Football Union or CONCACAF so doesn't pass WP:NFOOTBALL, at least not in the spirit in which the guideline was intended anyway.Marginal cases need a WP:GNG pass. This article has a large number of references but some of them don't mention Maxor at all and the rest are only trivial mentions of him. ProQuest has no hits and redirects to 'Anthony Major'. A French search only comes up with profile pages on Companies House-style websites about a business that he started in 2019. Source analysis to follow.
- Teerapat Chaichoedchu: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 14:57, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: A skin of teeth pass of WP:NFOOTBALL with 7 minutes of professional football in 2018 before disappearing. Siam Sport has one of the most brief transfer announcements that I've ever seen. This is then duplicated on a gambling website! A search of Google News and DDG in Thai yields no effective sources. The only other 'coverage' that I can find is his name appearing in an exhaustive list of all transfers here. Can't find any WP:GNG coverage which is absolutely essential in marginal cases like this one.
- Masyukur: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 15:07, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: While playing 5 games of football and then disappearing is usually enough, there have been a few recent cases where it was seen as insufficient despite playing 5 games when WP:GNG was failed badly; see Asuka Nose (AfD) and Masato Ishiwa (AfD). An Indonesian source search and Google News returned no relevant WP:RS hits. All that I can find are Soccerway mirrors and Wikipedia mirrors so clearly Masyukur does not meet GNG and falls into that very small group of players that technically meet the low bar of NFOOTBALL but aren't truly notable enough for an article.
- Tundenny: nominated at AfD; notified Roibagger (talk · contribs) 23:37, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any coverage in WP:RS for "Tundenny" or for "Sulaimon Babatunde" at all in my searches. The references provided are his social media pages, two unreliable content scrapers and two thinly-veiled press releases. There is no evidence of actual notability.
- 2022 South American Under-17 Women's Football Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Thiago89 (talk · contribs) 10:38, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing how WP:LISTN is met since these lists don't seem to be published or discussed in anywhere other than the countries' own FAs and Twitter and Facebook accounts, so there are no reliable and independent sources available for this topic.I also fail to see the reason why we should host a long list of non-notable minors between the age of 14 and 16 who don't have any reasonable chance of passing WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG in the near future. I just don't see the use in the list as there is no navigational purpose in having a list of non-notable people, even if the list is correct. I can't see that any of the previous editions of this tournament had squad lists so I'm taking to AfD to establish consensus on this.
- List of players provided by clubs to Brazil national football team at the FIFA World Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Svartner (talk · contribs) 17:25, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This list appears to be copied from this 2014 Globo blog post which proves that there is at least one source covering this topic but I question whether there is significant coverage sufficient to warrant a stand-alone article per WP:GNG/WP:LISTN. Topic is already covered at Brazil at the FIFA World Cup#Players provided by club in what I would say is enough depth so this extra article seems to be a bit excessive for what is basically sports trivia. If this is to be kept or turned into a redirect, I would suggest changing the title as the current title suggests that this is a list of players when it is in fact a list of clubs that have let their players be released for international duty.
- Comilla Cantonment High School: nominated at AfD; notified Ahm2001bd (talk · contribs) 20:05, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NORG concern. Even when searching "ক্যান্টনমেন্ট বোর্ড বালক উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়" I was unable to find any WP:ORGDEPTH coverage. Appearing in lists of secondary schools is not enough to pass the guideline. The Bangla Wikipedia article doesn't cite any ORGDEPTH sources either.
March 2022
[edit]- Ryan Jayathunga: nominated at AfD; notified CeylonSky228 (talk · contribs) 11:26, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage that Wikipedia considers to be reliable, per WP:RS. Social media such as Facebook and YouTube are therefore unacceptable. Also fails WP:NACTOR as he does not have multiple significant roles in notable productions per my WP:BEFORE search. I would oppose a redirect to Mervyn Jayathunga due to the lack of reliable sources connecting the two together.
- Kwadwo Boamah: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 12:29, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a subject that doesn't even appear to pass WP:NFOOTBALL let alone WP:GNG. Boamah has only apparently played in WP:NOTFPL leagues and Google News gave 2 passing mentions while DDG only had Wikipedia mirrors. I've also assessed the 10 ProQuest hits and not one of them is about this footballer.
- Stefania Blancuzzi: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 13:13, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article referenced only to a stats site on a footballer that has never played in a WP:FPL while it was fully professional and with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG. Prior to this nomination I found no hits in Google News, no hits in ProQuest and an Italian source search only yielded Wikipedia, its mirrors and a couple of stats sites.
- Template:High Schools in Paraguay: nominated at TfD; notified Jax 0677 (talk · contribs) 13:42, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Template now seems to be redundant since all bar one of its contents have been deleted through AfD.
- Istiak Ahmed Sourav: nominated at AfD; notified AhmdAsjad (talk · contribs) 15:34, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Possible WP:UPE vanity spam and only narrowly escapes WP:G11 and WP:A7. The four references used are all press releases and not acceptable as sources at all. My WP:BEFORE search could not find any WP:RS that would allow for a passing of WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Not seeing a route to notability through WP:ANYBIO either. Just another 'entrepreneur' paying for coverage of themselves.
- Ali Mobaraki: nominated at AfD; notified Pouria nikseresht (talk · contribs) 21:08, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unable to find any reliable sources to confirm a WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL pass. I tried searching both the English and Persian names and couldn't find even basic database coverage let alone the detailed WP:RS coverage required to have a stand-alone article. Potentially fails WP:V.
- Gideon Kadiri: nominated at AfD; notified IDIUPM123 (talk · contribs) 13:23, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to meet WP:NFOOTBALL, WP:NBASKETBALL or WP:GNG. Other than the Prva Liga profile that I added, I could only find a passing mention in a blog.
- Elena Krutko: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 14:45, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Evangelina Olivarez. Does not meet WP:NTENNIS as has never played in or won a tournament that would grant automatic notability (please note that Fed Cup no longer counts). WP:GNG does not appear to be met since only stats coverage seems to be available. Nothing in Google News or ProQuest or a Latvian source search.
- Galina Misiuriova: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 15:11, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats page masquerading as a biography on a tennis player that does not seem to pass WP:NTENNIS or WP:GNG - similar case to Evangelina Olivarez. For the former, Fed Cup is no longer a valid claim to automatic notability and so GNG needs to be met. The article cites this CV but it is unacceptable as a source as it is not independent from Misiurova. The other sources are all stats pages so don't confer notability. No hits in Google News, only stats pages and Wikipedia mirrors in a Lithuanian source search and ProQuest only has passing mentions in results summaries, no actual detailed coverage of Misiurova.
- 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Anbans 585 (talk · contribs) 00:10, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Laundry list of largely non-notable and extremely young sportspeople. Sources are almost entirely from the countries' own FAs or from the tournament itself (see WP:IS). I fail to see how this meets WP:GNG or WP:LISTN. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 South American Under-17 Women's Football Championship squads, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 South American U-17 Women's Championship squads and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017 AFF U-18 Youth Championship squads all of which had similar issues.
- Football at the 2009 Maccabiah Games – Women's team squads: nominated at AfD; notified NYC2TLV (talk · contribs) 00:31, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The article appears to be original research and I'm just not seeing the significant in-depth coverage of this topic to justify a stand-alone list. Barely even meets WP:V let alone WP:GNG/WP:LISTN as far as I am able to see.
- Rao Sumit Yaduvanshi: nominated at AfD; notified Rao Sumit Yadav (talk · contribs) 08:52, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This article relating to royalty and nobility is extremely confusing, unsourced and I'm struggling to verify any of it. Internet searches yield nothing at all.
- Nayan Rosh T M: nominated at AfD; notified LIONBOYS00 (talk · contribs) 09:29, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined at Draft:Nayan Rosh T M and copied and pasted over to mainspace. Fails WP:GNG according to my searches. All I can find are LinkedIn, Facebook, IMDb, Instagram and YouTube none of which are WP:RS or WP:IS. His alleged awards do not satisfy WP:ANYBIO.
- Saeed Mohseni: nominated at AfD; notified Mahyarkermani (talk · contribs) 09:34, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Disputed BLP PROD. I am personally of the opinion that IMDb (per WP:IMDB) is not a reliable source and would argue that the BLP PROD was removed inappropriately but have no interest in starting an edit war. A WP:BEFORE search yields social media sites only so does not appear to comply with WP:GNG/WP:BIO. No claim within the article that would allow this to meet WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:NACTOR.
- Andreas Mangouris: nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 09:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Masyukur and Masato Ishiwa. Has 177 mins of football to his name (less than 2 football matches in game time) but there is no evidence of satisfying WP:GNG. Searches of Google News and DDG in the Greek language brought forth a grand total of zero reliable sources.
- Radio Lions 96.5 FM: nominated at AfD; notified LIONBOYS00 (talk · contribs) 10:21, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: In my searches, I can only find Spotify, IMDb, iHeart, Facebook and other unreliable self-published media. No significant coverage in independent WP:RS.
- Lion Boys: nominated at AfD; notified LIONBOYS00 (talk · contribs) 11:29, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports team and radio station with no apparent WP:SIGCOV. I searched for sources but only stumbled upon IMDb, LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogspot, YouTube and other self-published media.
- Bhooj Adda: nominated at AfD; notified Prahallad singh (talk · contribs) 15:03, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Dubious article. The references are copied from Mocambo (restaurant) for a start. The initial creation on 17 March had the edit summary 'my restaurant' so there is a clear undisclosed WP:COI here. An Indian source search yields nothing better than a TripAdvisor page with no reviews.
- Rabra Family: nominated at AfD; notified Sharma9819 (talk · contribs) 20:20, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing enough of a claim to significance for this family here. I also believe that WP:NOTGENEALOGY applies. Moved prematurely over from Draft:Rabra Family without making any attempt at addressing the issues that lead to the AfC decline.
- Felix Atuquaye Clottey: nominated at AfD; notified Ampimd (talk · contribs) 20:18, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't appear to have ever played in an WP:FPL so WP:NFOOTBALL is failed. Searches such as this one do not yield any sources with enough depth for WP:GNG. He is mentioned in this rumour about being released and this routine transfer announcement. I would consider both of these mentions to be fairly routine and trivial and not enough for a stand-alone article.
- Giorgos Kakoullis (footballer, born 2000): nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 18:10, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Only trivially meets WP:NFOOTBALL with 2 minutes of football in April 2018 after which he completely disappeared. Google News has only passing mentions and a very brief Q&A copied and pasted from his club's website - original article is here on the club website. This is not an independent source (see WP:IS) and has no independent analysis. A Greek language search yielded only more copied and pasted versions of the same Q&A; see Balla and Sigma Live.
- Pavlin Ivanov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 19:34, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 7 minutes of football about a decade ago then spent the rest of his career as a semi-pro/amateur. Google News and DDG are largely coming up with results about the much more notable Pavlin Ivanov (basketball), who should be moved to this location if the article ends up being deleted. I found squad list mentions in places like Sportal but no actual detailed coverage which would allow for a WP:GNG pass, which is the only relevant guideline when the WP:NFOOTBALL pass is so incredibly weak.
- Pantami Primary Health Care Center: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulazeez Taufeeq (talk · contribs) 21:01, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Neither of the two sources cited mention a 'Pantami Primary Health Care Center' and this search yielded no detailed coverage in WP:RS.
- List of Primary Health Care Center (PHCC) in Gombe State, Nigeria: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulazeez Taufeeq (talk · contribs) 21:04, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Bolawa Public Health Care Gombe, Gombe State: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulazeez Taufeeq (talk · contribs) 21:09, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Late Hajiya Dudun Bega Maternal and Child Health Care Bolari: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulazeez Taufeeq (talk · contribs) 21:13, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This article has 3 references none of which mention anything about a 'Late Hajiya Dudun Bega Maternal and Child Health Care Bolari'. This search shows that the place probably exists but WP:GNG is extremely doubtful.
- Masjidul Ummah Complex, Gombe: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulazeez Taufeeq (talk · contribs) 21:20, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Late Alhaji yakubu Sale (LATA) Primary Health Care Center: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulazeez Taufeeq (talk · contribs) 21:38, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Sports Centre in Gombe State: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulghonniy (talk · contribs) 10:07, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to be a list of mostly non-notable football stadia. I would argue that WP:NOTDIRECTORY applies. Also struggling to see any significant coverage from reliable and independent sources regarding the topic of sports centres in Gombe State for WP:LISTN. Are they really any more notable than sports centres anywhere else? Not seeing why this needs an article. Thought about using PROD but the article creator is still active so would contest it.
- List of schools in Riobamba: nominated at AfD; notified Calliopejen1 (talk · contribs) 10:26, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Looks like an exhaustive list of schools which violates WP:NOTDIR. Notable schools already covered in List of high schools in Ecuador and List of universities in Ecuador. I don't see any justification for why this city needs to have a stand-alone list article for its schools.
- List of schools in Gombe State: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulghonniy (talk · contribs) 10:36, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: List essentially pulled from this blog. No notable entries so nothing to merge to List of schools in Nigeria. Wikipedia is not a place for exhaustive lists of non-notable schools in any given area, see WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Not seeing reliable sources covering this topic per WP:LISTN, blogs are not WP:RS. PROD not appropriate as 3 active users have recently edited this article.
- Anukul Charan Munshi: nominated at AfD; notified Sr930 (talk · contribs) 10:46, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Searched in multiple places but can't find anything to pass WP:NARTIST, WP:GNG or even WP:V. See Google, Google Books, DDG etc. Draft:Anukul Charan Munshi already exists so unable to send to draft.
- Al Madeena Cherpulassery: nominated at AfD; notified Bobanfasil (talk · contribs) 11:38, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Football club article which is unsourced and a WP:BEFORE search yields very little. Google News only has this article, which is only a trivial mention of the club. An Indian source search comes up with plenty of social media accounts for this club but nothing else other than the same trivial mention from Google News. Potentially fails WP:GNG.
- Maternal and Child Health Care Bolari, Gombe State: nominated at AfD; notified Abdulazeez Taufeeq (talk · contribs) 05:41, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
April 2022
[edit]- Chrysanthos Mantzalos: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 10:36, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: 91 minutes of football then has played as an amateur since. Technically meets the version of WP:NFOOTBALL that was valid when it was created but no evidence of WP:GNG presented. Zero hits in Google News. A Greek source search yielded nothing decent either. Phile News and Kerkida both have brief contract renewal announcements but this is routine coverage that sportspeople at all levels get and doesn't justify a stand-alone article.
- Stephanie Schaer: nominated at AfD; notified Vecihi91 (talk · contribs) 11:55, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Following an August 2021 RfC, participating in the Fed Cup no longer guarantees an article and, in fact, it has been removed from WP:NTENNIS. No relevant hits in Google News or DDG. I found some hits in ProQuest but they are all, without exception, passing mentions in results summaries for minor tennis tournaments. Based on the above research, Schaer does not seem to meet WP:GNG and does not meet any relevant WP:SNG.
- H808Beats: nominated at AfD; notified Darkezzz (talk · contribs) 21:15, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not impressed at all by the sources. All of them are clearly paid-for press releases. With disclaimers such as The MarketWatch News Department was not involved in the creation of this content. and Sponsored: Advertising Content, the sources fail our standards for independent sourcing as per WP:IS. Aside from that, there is no evidence that this producer passes WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN.
- Ondřej Mastný: nominated at AfD; notified Rob2312 (talk · contribs) 21:32, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Has yet to play a game at professional level and I'm not seeing a WP:GNG pass from the internet searches attempted.
- Osei Bonsu (football): nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 22:04, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There are many players with this name but this particular Bonsu appears to fail WP:NBASIC. The two references provided are trivial mentions of the subject and searches in DDG and ProQuest as well as other places are not yielding anything substantial at all. Bonsu has also never played in a league listed at WP:FPL.
- Ezra Howard: nominated at AfD; notified Augusto Martínez Rimarachín (talk · contribs) 08:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst being twentieth in the list of Peruvian YouTubers in terms of subscriber count is a claim to notability enough to escape WP:A7, I'm not seeing enough for WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE or WP:NBASIC. I have searched for sources and conclude that the ones currently cited are the best. Source analysis to follow, which will explain why he fails NBASIC.
- Quinn Coulson: nominated at AfD; notified Microwave Anarchist (talk · contribs) 08:38, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Has never played in a WP:FPL game and does not appear to pass WP:NBASIC according to the sources in the article as well as searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest. The only source providing more than a trivial mention is Fife Today which is a routine apprenticeship announcement. I would suggest deletion without prejudice to recreating if and when he passes NBASIC.
- Sadnan Asraf Jisan: nominated at AfD; notified Sadnan Asraf Jisan (talk · contribs) 10:09, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hermansyah Muchlis: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 17:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Technical and weak passing of the recently removed guideline WP:NFOOTBALL but no evidence of passing WP:NBASIC. No relevant coverage in the hits at Google News or an Indonesian source search. Similar case to Arie Priyatna
- Iqbal Hossain Rony (cricketer): nominated at AfD; notified Arnproo (talk · contribs) 19:19, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't seem to meet the current version of WP:NCRIC as has not played at senior international level for his country. Also nothing within the article to demonstrate WP:GNG nor in a WP:BEFORE search. The article appears to be an unnecessary duplication of Iqbal Hossain Rony, which is currently a redirect. I don't see any value in turning this article into a redirect.
- Klajdo Arkaxhiu: nominated at AfD; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 11:15, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Technically passes the old WP:NFOOTBALL with his second tier Albanian appearances, so would survive a PROD, but appears to fail WP:GNG, hence this AfD. Searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest either yielded nothing at all or a small selection of database profile pages. I was unable to locate the multiple reliable sources showing detailed coverage of Arkaxhiu that would be required.
- Ádám Fenyvesi: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 13:09, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Meets the old WP:NFOOTBALL by the skin of its teeth with only 22 mins of professional play. At best, this is a weak presumption of notability. A Google News search yielded only one trivial mention in Nemzeti Sport. I found nothing other than football databases in a Hungarian source search and ProQuest had 2 hits neither of which are relevant. Fenyvesi does not appear to meet WP:GNG and so does not appear to warrant an article.
- Akshay Sharma: nominated at AfD; notified Steve1984stallone (talk · contribs) 13:29, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing enough for WP:NACTOR here. I found one passing mention of Sharma here but nothing more in my searches so WP:GNG doesn't look to be met either. The main claim to notability seems to be his association with the film Checkovid but this search comes up with next to nothing.
- Andreas Photiou: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 13:47, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway and Football Database, he narrowly meets the former guideline WP:NFOOTBALL. A Google News search failed to return significant coverage for Photiou and nor did a Greek language search. The best I could find was a trivial mention in Kerkida and a contract renewal announcement in Balla. Contract renewal announcements are rarely counted as WP:SIGCOV and I see no reason to make an exception here.
- D Block Bangali: nominated at AfD; notified Mahin 31 (talk · contribs) 17:42, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: All of this band's coverage seems to be from its own social media accounts. I can't find any independent coverage at all. Even if this is somehow kept, most of the content should be trimmed as it's copied and pasted from D-Block Europe without attribution.
- Philippines national under-17 football team results: nominated at AfD; notified DarkStriker22 (talk · contribs) 08:32, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per consensus at this AfD, this one, this one and also this one, this should be deleted as well. Clear violation of WP:NOTSTATS and topic does not meet WP:GNG/WP:LISTN as discussed before because youth football receives far less independent coverage and their players and there is no presumption of notability from playing at this level.
- Philippines national under-19 football team results: nominated at AfD; notified DarkStriker22 (talk · contribs) 08:43, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Requesting deletion due to violating WP:NOTSTATS and also per consensus from other discussions for under-19 results which include [discussion], this one and this one. Also lacks the independent WP:RS coverage required to pass WP:GNG/WP:LISTN.
- Dibya Ranjan Giri: nominated at AfD; notified Chemistrylover3 (talk · contribs) 08:49, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Every single source cited is self-published, no independent WP:RS. A WP:BEFORE search didn't yield anything better. Does not meet WP:NAUTHOR. Previously speedy deleted twice and this one is a borderline speedy as well but escapes WP:A7 because the article says that he is 'well-known'.
- Surajit Chandra Das: nominated at AfD; notified Surajit chandra das (talk · contribs) 13:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Makes several claims to notability but searches in Google Books, ProQuest and other places do not give us anything that can support the claims. I'm not sure if winning the Anundoram Barooa Award is worthy of WP:ANYBIO or not but the claim is currently unsourced so I suppose that is a moot point. His work in mathematics would appear to allow for a passing of WP:NACADEMIC but I can't find anything to support the claims of inventing new formulae.
- Kalesh Kalakkode: nominated at AfD; notified Aju88 (talk · contribs) 18:43, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No notable roles so clear WP:NACTOR fail. No sign of meeting WP:NMODEL. A WP:BEFORE search yields only social media and unreliable websites like EverybodyWiki. Likely an autobiography and the article creator keeps going into articles like Lucifer (film) and adding himself to the cast list, despite my attempts to revert.
- Andreas Sofokleous (footballer, born 1997): nominated at AfD; notified ChrisStavrou (talk · contribs) 11:20, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Andreas Photiou. Played 23 mins in a league considered to be professional so only weakly met the former guideline of WP:NFOOTBALL. Following his one game, he completely disappeared. Hits in Google News and a Greek-language search all relate to AEL Limassol's president Andreas Sofocleous instead of the subject of this article. No evidence that the 1997-born person of this name is notable.
- Marcell Enyingi: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 11:28, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub for a footballer with only one minute of football to his name. I searched in Google News which yielded two trivial mentions. A Hungarian source search yielded only stats database profile pages such as MLSZ and Soccerpunter which do not count as WP:SIGCOV.
- History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Canada: nominated at AfD; notified Thereviewer189 (talk · contribs) 20:22, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Very similar to the article deleted in 2020 via PROD, if memory serves me. Still no evidence of meeting WP:NRIVALRY or WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not a statistics database and shouldn't be used for indiscriminate listings of results between all rugby nations unless there are specific sources showing why the meetings between these two particular nations are of importance; see WP:NOTSTATS. There is nothing to suggest that the 'rivalry' between Ireland and Canada in rugby is important enough for its own encyclopaedia article.
- History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Japan: nominated at AfD; notified Thereviewer189 (talk · contribs) 13:14, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD by User:Rugbyfan22 which I completely agree with Fails WP:NOTSTATS and WP:NRIVALRY. There is consensus for deletion on lists like this where no rivalry is present. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Georgia as an example. I had to contest it as it was previously deleted via PROD in 2020 so an admin would have had to decline the PROD eventually anyway. I would also add that the topic essentially fails WP:GNG as well by virtue of the fact that there is a lack of discussion of a rivalry between these two teams.
- History of rugby union matches between Japan and South Africa: nominated at AfD; notified Planet101 (talk · contribs) 13:35, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Their 2015 encounter was epic but one epic match does not automatically equal a rivalry. I have searched but was unable to find significant discussion of a lasting rivalry between these two teams per WP:GNG and WP:NRIVALRY. With only 3 games played to date, this seems like a massive WP:TOOSOON at best. Article in its current form is essentially a WP:NOTSTATS violation.
- Anucha Kaenthongchan: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 17:22, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Barely scraped through on the old WP:NFOOTBALL with 11 minutes of play before disappearing. Searches in Google News and a Thai language search yielded a trivial mention in Siam Sport and a brief transfer announcement about him signing for a third tier team in Ballthai. None of this shows a passing of WP:GNG.
- Vladislav Shumantov: nominated at AfD; notified Dfotev (talk · contribs) 17:48, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 1 game then spent the rest of his short career in the amateur divisions. Such cases, even before the recent WP:NFOOTBALL changes, were deemed to have only a very weak claim to notability and were required to pass WP:GNG. This Google News search only yields trivial coverage, mentioning his name in passing as a children's football coach or a match report. A Bulgarian source search yielded nothing better than a birthday announcement in Struma and a trivial mention in Botevgrad.
- Zsolt Kerekes: nominated at AfD; notified Roman-Serb (talk · contribs) 19:25, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of passing the deprecated WP:NFOOTBALL from Soccerway or HLSZ. No relevant hits in Google News and the only source in this Hungarian source search showing more than a trivial mention is Komlo Media, a blog and not WP:RS. Also, interviews with no independent analysis are often considered to be not the best indicators of notability. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. If deleted then the more notable Zsolt Kerekes (figure skater) should be moved to this destination.
- Khowailed Ayyadah: nominated at AfD; notified Drh104 (talk · contribs) 07:46, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No professional appearances to date so would have failed under the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline. Arabic searches in Google News, Google and DDG yield nothing of note so I'm not seeing a WP:GNG pass. I've also checked all of the foreign language Wikipedia articles and can't see any indications of notability there either. Given that the article has lasted such a long time across multiple versions of Wikipedia, I believe that there must be some reason for the article but I can't find anything so sending to AfD to get proper consensus on this one.
- Manjula Damith Siripala: nominated at AfD; notified DilJco (talk · contribs) 16:54, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The sources do not demonstrate WP:GNG and I was unable to find any significant coverage in a Google search and got absolutely nothing from Google News and ProQuest. Source analysis to follow.
- Bucksburn Thistle: nominated at AfD; notified Millions Miller (talk · contribs) 09:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG. From what I can tell from searches, this is a relatively new club playing in Aberdeen's Amateur Sunday League. No detailed coverage of the club located in Google News, ProQuest and DDG.
- Anıl Abanoz: nominated at AfD; notified CanbekEsen (talk · contribs) 19:27, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway, this semi-pro would have failed the now deprecated WP:NFOOTBALL guideline with no WP:FPL games. Turkish Wikipedia also has him down for zero professional games. Searching in Google News gives only passing mentions in squad lists. A Turkish source search only came back with one article in Fanatik about failing a drugs test. Everything else was a stats database or tiny transfer announcement. ProQuest had nothing. Only the doping article is even close to WP:SIGCOV and so this clearly falls short of the requirement for sources (plural) showing in-depth coverage for GNG.
- Stavros Christoforou: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 10:55, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 2 games in an WP:FPL league then disappeared. Whilst technically passing the deprecated WP:NFOOTBALL guideline, he doesn't meet WP:GNG. The Cypriot league is also absent from WP:NFOOTBALLNEW and related discussions on the relevant talk page, indicating that there isn't much community belief that playing a game in the Cypriot league justifies a stand-alone article.Searches in English yielded only database profile pages. A Google News search in Greek yielded only a squad listing in Sigma Live while this Greek language search only yielded irrelevant articles about namesakes and trivial passing mentions in U19 reports such as Omonoia News.
May 2022
[edit]- Signe Carstens: nominated at AfD; notified Essiepolman79 (talk · contribs) 09:27, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not inherently notable therefore WP:GNG must be satisfied. I have analysed the sources currently presented in the article as well as those found in DDG, Google News and ProQuest and will present a source analysis below to explain why the sourcing does not satisfy GNG currently.
- Ali Al-Aliany: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 10:06, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of notability. All of the 4 foreign language Wikipedia articles on him are based on his Transfermarkt profile, an unreliable self-published source. Searches of "علي العلياني" have yielded no useful coverage even when adding 'football' (كرة القدم). Soccerway shows 106 mins of professional football and there is clear consensus at recent AfDs that such a brief career in the game is never acceptable grounds for keeping an article on its own.
- Dzmitry Chaka: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 10:48, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 21 mins of professional football but no significant coverage. A Belarusian search yields only Wikipedia mirrors. A Russian search gives us nothing better, more mirrors and a few social media sites thrown in. I also did this search through DDG which yielded nothing on him other than stats databases.
- Aung Chan Moe: nominated at AfD; notified Thihazaw88 (talk · contribs) 07:15, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable footballer; article cited to a preliminary squad listing and nothing else. The one source is only a passing mention in a squad list so does not constitute WP:SIGCOV. Now that WP:NFOOTBALL has been deprecated, I can't see any claim to notability, even if he has played professional games in Burma. Searches in English yield only database websites like Soccerway and Tribuna and searches in Burmese script yield only social media pages. The Myanmar Wikipedia article also doesn't help us here.
- Tun Lin Soe: nominated at AfD; notified Thihazaw88 (talk · contribs) 07:22, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not seem to pass WP:GNG as cannot find multiple instances of significant coverage from reliable and independent sources. Google News hits have no relevance to football. Google search yields little. DDG also doesn't yield useful hits. Has a Soccerway profile but this only shows him sitting on the bench for a few games and Soccerway isn't significant coverage anyway.
- Dávid Bailo: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 08:08, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro player who made 4 cameo appearances totalling 38 mins then had some short spells in the amateur divisions. Nothing from searches of Hungarian sources in Google News, ProQuest or DDG comes even close to showing the significant coverage required to meet WP:GNG.
- Filparty: nominated at AfD; notified Jessicanono (talk · contribs) 11:05, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not seem to meet WP:GNG. The only source used is the official websitr for Filparty, which is obviously not an independent source. Searches, such as this one failed to find even one example of significant coverage from a reliable source. I can only find social media and other content created by Jessica Nono, who appears to be the creator of this platform and also the creator of this Wikipedia article. Would tag as WP:A7 but I don't think cryptocurrency projects meet the criteria.
- Bernard Agana: nominated at AfD; notified Kyung-heeu2030 (talk · contribs) 11:23, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer that has only played in a WP:NOTFPL league with no indication of meeting WP:GNG. None of the cited sources show anything other than basic statistical data. Google News has nothing for him. DDG has a bunch of Wikipedia mirrors and GSA and Soccerway and other stats sites. The one hit in ProQuest is about a namesake. Nothing in my WP:BEFORE search shows that Agana is notable.
- Akeem Taiwo: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 16:24, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NFOOTBALL no longer exists and so this article needs to pass WP:GNG to remain. All of the 6 sources currently used are either a single passing mention in a match report or a stats database profile page, neither of which can count towards GNG. A Google News search had one relevant hit, a Premium Times article where Taiwo appears in a list of players with food poisoning; no in-depth coverage. Nothing relevant found in DDG at all apart from stats sites. ProQuest had 11 hits only one of which is relevant; a [match report on https://www.proquest.com/docview/1932727999/B122B154E9D94596PQ/9?accountid=196403 AllAfrica] where he is mentioned only once.
- Kotei Blankson: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 17:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and has never played at WP:FPL level. Google News has only squad list mentions. DDG has some Wikipedia mirrors, database profile pages and the occasional trivial match report mention. Both hits in ProQuest are purely trivial mentions of Blankson. I found this Modern Ghana article via Google Images but it's a disappointingly basic transfer announcement, which merely lists his previous clubs and his youth national team history but fails to provide any real depth.
- Parid Bërdufi: nominated at AfD; notified Bledion (talk · contribs) 17:34, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Given that we now need to focus on WP:GNG, I can't see a good reason for keeping this article. During my WP:BEFORE search, I noted that Google News and ProQuest had no hits at all and DDG only contains Wikipedia mirrors, which are useless. Google search yields database websites like Soccerway, Playmaker Stats and Football Database which are far from meeting the requirements of GNG and WP:NBASIC.
- Appolinaire Ngueko Tientcheu: nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 10:28, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The article has 12 references and 3 external links but not even one of these provide anything close to WP:SIGCOV. Most are single passing mentions or football stats databases. 45fois2 is the best source but this merely states that he is 27, has signed a one year contract and is an attacking midfielder. This is routine coverage at best. Searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest were completely fruitless. Please note that I have also searched under "Appolinaire Ngueko" and "Appolinaire Tientcheu" as well as the full name and still not had any luck finding significant coverage.
- Mesfer Al Najrani: nominated at AfD; notified Momofeee (talk · contribs) 12:10, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability in 2020 but this was removed by an IP editor without comment. Sole reason for an article appears to be his one game about 5 years ago. A search in Google News yields only 4 basic squad lists, in which he is mentioned once. A DDG search yields only stats pages, social media and Wikipedia mirrors. WP:GNG doesn't seem to be met.
- Obaid Abusharida: nominated at AfD; notified Momofeee (talk · contribs) 12:15, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer with only 4 minutes of football to his name who is no longer playing at the professional level. Google News yields two trivial mentions of the subject. This DDG search gives us nothing better; most results being Wikipedia mirrors. Does not seem to pass WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL has been deprecated since this article was created.
- Hlaing Myo Aung: nominated at AfD; notified Kgkalay (talk · contribs) 14:41, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub sourced only to Facebook. English language searches only give us Soccerway and other databases. In Burmese, Google News has no hits. Google has only Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube and other self-published sources. DDG also fails to establish notability. No evidence of WP:GNG.
- 2019 CAFA U-16 Championship: nominated at AfD; notified Normandy64 (talk · contribs) 08:52, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Initial PROD statement was WP:NOTSTATS applies. Unable to find the independent sourcing required to pass WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT.Contested with I have updated some references and I have noticed thats cafa website is official site of Central Asian Football Assassination. So its now no one raise any questions. I don't see any reasons why the editor said that. The article have created three years back.Firstly, the tournament is organised by CAFA so the CAFA website is not an independent source, see WP:IS for more info. SPORTSEVENT requires news coverage should be extensive (e.g., outside of the week of its occurrence and in non-local newspapers) and that articles should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats which also overlaps with WP:NOTSTATS. A search per WP:BEFORE did not yield any coverage that qualifies for any of the above guidelines.
- Calvin Abhishek: nominated at AfD; notified Wordzgamez (talk · contribs) 17:14, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Refunded PROD. Still a footballer with no appearances that fails WP:GNG. None of the three references used in the article are from independent sources. All of the Google News hits are squad list mentions. This Indian source search only comes back with social media, stats sites and Wikipedia mirrors. I found a Fisto Sports interview with the subject but this contains no actual third-party coverage of the subject so is not WP:SIGCOV. Plus questions like "One super power you wish you had?" and "Lamest excuse you have ever given to your teacher?" are not the sort of things that we can build an encyclopaedia article from.
- Cameron Fraser: nominated at AfD; notified MarleneSli (talk · contribs) 19:09, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-professional footballer with no claim to notability. Searched in a few places but found nothing better than some trivial match report mentions in Fife Today.
- Marcel Göpferich: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 11:53, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Football referee with limited coverage. All Google News mentions are trivial. This German source search gives us only stats databases and passing mentions like this one in DFB. Even ProQuest only has one passing match report mention. Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:NBASIC.
- 2013 Canada World Kabaddi Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Gakhal4life (talk · contribs) 12:00, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any news coverage of this event in ProQuest or Google searches. I have tried both "Canada World Kabaddi Cup" and "Canada Kabaddi Cup" in my searches. Potentially fails WP:SPORTSEVENT and WP:GNG. Would have redirected to Canada World Kabaddi Cup but, oddly, that seems to redirect itself to this article. Unless someone can find a source, this may even be a WP:V issue.
- 2013 UK Kabaddi Cup: nominated at AfD; notified Gakhal4life (talk · contribs) 12:06, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced for 9 years. Can't find any evidence of significant coverage from independent media. ProQuest has nothing at all. The only evidence that this sports event even took place seems to be at Live Kabaddi, which doesn't appear to be an independent source. In any case, there is no significant coverage, only a link to a broken video. Unless evidence of WP:SPORTSEVENT or WP:GNG can be provided, the article must be deleted.
- Yevgeny Bal: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 06:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro second-tier Belarusian footballer with no apparent significant coverage. Google News has a number of hits, most of which relate to a Ukrainian journalist of the same name who died recently. The hits that are relevant are mere squad list mentions like football.by and gs.by. I had no better luck when searching the Belarusian version of his name. In fact, I could not find anything significant at all about this particular Yevgeny Bal so WP:GNG is likely failed here.
- Manuel E. Johnson: nominated at AfD; notified Bloomshouse (talk · contribs) 19:45, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub that appears to fail WP:GNG. Searches of "Manuel E Johnson", "Manuel E. Johnson" and searches in conjunction with clubs played for (e.g. "Manuel Johnson" + "Katsina") failed to yield any significant media coverage. All of the sources currently cited are indiscriminate stats databases; clear consensus at thousands of AfDs that such coverage does not justify a stand-alone article. No appropriate merge or redirect target exists.
- List of European clubs reaching European championship finals in both football and basketball same year: nominated at AfD; notified Engin75 (talk · contribs) 19:00, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The only source that I can find on this topic is the Real Madrid website which is not a reliable or independent source. Does not seem to meet WP:LISTN or WP:GNG and I can't see an appropriate merge target. This phenomenon perhaps warrants a mention at Real Madrid CF and Real Madrid Baloncesto but an entire list article dedicated to this non-encyclopaedic cross categorisation seems excessive in my view.
- Aleksandar Dimov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 14:14, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: His 2 professional games a decade ago are, at best, a very weak presumption of notability. None of the sources in the article demonstrate the level of coverage for WP:GNG and Google News and DDG failed to yield any significant coverage of this footballer.
- Badr Bander: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 16:19, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No significant coverage cited in any of the five Wikipedia articles on this person across different languages. Searching in Google News and DDG in Arabic yielded practically nothing. Only source I can find is Al Faisaly which is the website of a club that he used to play for, therefore the source is not reliable or independent. Appears to be a failure of WP:GNG.
June 2022
[edit]- Endi Brahimi: nominated at AfD; notified Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk · contribs) 08:51, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Would likely survive PROD due to technically meeting the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline for a handful of games in the second tier of Albania. Sources cited are stats only and the article itself is a stats stub. Google News has no hits. DDG has only stats database, Wikipedia itself and social media. ProQuest has no hits and redirects the search to "ends Brahimi" instead. WP:GNG not demonstrated.
- Kaung Myat Kyaw: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 09:27, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The Myanmar Times source is only a passing mention of the subject; searches in Burmese script yield nothing of use at all. Searches in Google of his English name yield only news coverage of a criminal investigation and nothing about this footballer. Likewise in DDG. Can't see how this meets WP:GNG.
- Kyaw Myint Tun: nominated at AfD; notified Kgkalay (talk · contribs) 09:42, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any coverage on this person using Burmese or Latin script. Google News and ProQuest have no relevant hits. Burmese script has even less coverage and none of it seems relevant at all. The current sourcing in this BLP is unacceptable and WP:GNG isn't demonstrated here.
- Esurient Communications: nominated at AfD; notified Andy Ford (talk · contribs) 10:27, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG according to my searches in Google News and Google Books, all of which are just trivial mentions of the label. ProQuest has nothing at all. BNA has only one passing mention. Not one of the more important indie labels as per WP:NMUSIC.
- Japan national under-17 football team results (2020–present): nominated at AfD; notified BRICK93 (talk · contribs) 08:11, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of significant, independent coverage. Strong consensus from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United Arab Emirates national under-17 football team results, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/India national under-17 football team results, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thailand national under-17 football team results and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philippines national under-17 football team results that this isn't a notable enough topic for Wikipedia.
- 2022 U-16 International Dream Cup squads: nominated at AfD; notified BRICK93 (talk · contribs) 08:56, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: List of non-notable child footballers which does not meet WP:LISTN. No navigational purpose since none of the footballers in the list are notable. No independent coverage available; sourced entirely from country's own FAs, which is a primary source. Would go for outright deletion as opposed to merging per consensus at similar AfDs like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Football at the 2009 Maccabiah Games – Men's team squads and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 South American Under-17 Women's Football Championship squads.
- Patrik Gránicz: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 08:09, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who technically met the old WP:NFOOTBALL with 22 mins of professional football before dropping to the semi-pro level. No WP:SIGCOV presented in the article and nothing found in searches. Google News in Hungarian name order seems to have a few hits but all of them, without exception, are trivial mentions in squad lists and match updates. A Hungarian source search only yielded stats databases and other trivial coverage.
- Alejandro Abadie: nominated at AfD; notified KickOff (talk · contribs) 10:12, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a complex AfD because this article was actually hijacked in Aug 2012. Previously, this was about an Argentine international rugby union player. The footballer of this name has only played at a very low level in Argentina and doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. Searches in Google, ProQuest, DDG etc. only return results relating to rugby union. If both the rugby player and the footballer are non-notable, then we simply delete this article. If the rugby player is notable but the footballer isn't, then please revert the hijacking. If both are notable then please can an admin do some sort of splitting of the histories so we have Alejandro Abadie (footballer) with relevant edit history and Alejandro Abadie (rugby player) with relevant edit history? Sorry if AfD is not the best venue but I feel that notability is questionable here so AfD was what I thought would be best.
- Japan national under-20 football team results (2020–present): nominated at AfD; notified BRICK93 (talk · contribs) 12:44, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I wanted to wait on the outcome of the equivalent women's AfD before nominating that one and since that closed as 'delete', I believe this also should be removed per WP:NOTSTATS. Whilst there haven't been many AfDs of this nature to date yet, it's worth also noting that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/India national under-20 football team results and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uzbekistan national under-20 football team results both closed as 'delete' too.
- Fandi Achmad: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 13:07, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on non-notable semi-pro footballer. Please do not confuse him with legendary Singaporean footballer and manager Fandi Ahmad or any of his three children Irfan Fandi Ahmad, Ikhsan Fandi Ahmad and Ilhan Fandi Ahmad, all of whom are notable and all will come up in a WP:BEFORE search.Ultimately, Fandi Achmad seems to fail WP:GNG, which is not surprising since his career consists of 46 mins of football and then disappearing. Everything I can find in searches, including an Indonesian search, is just coverage on namesakes or a passing mention in a match summary regarding an Indonesian third tier football match.
- Danial (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 13:18, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This footballer only has one name, which makes an accurate WP:BEFORE tricky. I've scoured the archives of various Indonesian news sites and found a couple of mentions from 2014 that appear to relate to Danial: Okezone and Republika. These are both trivial mentions of the subject and so WP:GNG is not demonstrated. Since I could not find anything even close to the detail required for GNG, I'm sending this to AfD.
- Dinie Fitri: nominated at AfD; notified Six.stomachs (talk · contribs) 14:09, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The previous AfD in 2013 resulted in a 'keep' although there were still three editors in favour of deletion even at that time. Since then, WP:NFOOTBALL has been removed and it seems that NFOOTBALL and the fact that Fitri was relatively young back in 2013, were the main factors which resulted in the article being kept. It's worth noting that nine years on, Fitri still hasn't made any further appearances and still looks to fail WP:GNG quite badly. There are no hits in Google News or ProQuest and a Singaporean source search returns only stats pages, social media and Wikipedia mirrors.
- Nations League Tune–up match: nominated at AfD; notified Breadunnie1010 (talk · contribs) 16:14, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: An identical copy exists at Draft:Nations League Tune–up match. An article on a set of friendly matches that makes no claim to passing WP:SPORTSEVENT and has no evidence of meeting WP:GNG. When this was draftified, this was contested with the comment BRUH THIS IS NOT A DRAFT. SEE THE INFORMATION IN PHILIPPINE VOLLEYBALL PAGE IN FACEBOOK. CHECK FIRST BEFORE YOU MAKE A DRAFTFirstly, the Volleyball Philippines Facebook page is not a reliable or independent source. In my searches, I could not find any significant coverage of this event taking place between these countries in volleyball. Wikipedia should not be a place for posting an exhaustive list of sports results per WP:NOTSTATS.
- Gideon Richards: nominated at RfD; Target: John Holmes (actor) (notified); notified Seldane0 (talk · contribs) 18:12, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: A very confusing redirect. I clicked on this name from Fitz Hughes Predators expecting to get an article on this footballer but instead was redirected to an article on a pornographic actor in which 'Gideon Richards' isn't even mentioned once! Looking at John Holmes' credits, I can't even see that he ever played a character of this name so have no idea why this redirect was created in 2007. This redirect does not benefit the encyclopaedia in any way so should be deleted.
- Atul Kumar Sharma (producer): nominated at AfD; notified KJF2 (talk · contribs) 19:24, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: All of the references are either completely fake or unreliable (e.g. IMDb). Some might say that Indian Economic Observer is a good source but it's clearly a press release as per the comment at the bottom, which says This story is provided by PNN. ANI will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article. (ANI/PNN).Previously deleted at Atul Kumar Sharma, which is now salted. Please see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atul Kumar Sharma.
- Majid Akbari: nominated at AfD; notified Alimomo001 (talk · contribs) 11:31, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Greg maluma: nominated at AfD; notified Katagaryu (talk · contribs) 19:20, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: See history of Greg Maluma and Gregson Maluma, both of which are now salted. All of the 'references' are self-published material. WP:BEFORE yields nothing. If this is somehow kept, it should be moved to Greg Maluma, which would need the protection removed.
- Klaudon Ahmataj: nominated at AfD; notified 49.195.7.217 (talk · contribs) 06:37, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite a reasonable career in the lower levels of Albanian football and Australian soccer, doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. Google News yields one result, which is two brief mentions. ProQuest returned zilch. DDG had a few WP:RS hits but, again, they never amounted to more than trivial coverage, for example Northern NSW.
- 1999 Cyprus International Tournament: nominated at AfD; notified Clenixon (talk · contribs) 19:01, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not seem to meet WP:SPORTSEVENT or WP:GNG. Much the same as 1998 Cyprus International Tournament, which was deleted following this discussion. No WP:ATD available. See also comments on the declined draft. Also relevant is WP:NOTDATABASE, which says WP:NOTDATABASE which says merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.
- Islam Magdy: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 22:16, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Mohammed Nuru Dini: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 08:56, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Was kept at AfD in 2009 as, back then, WP:ATHLETE (the predecessor to WP:NFOOTBALL) was all that you needed to meet to have an article. Now that WP:GNG is the sole relevant guideline, I don't believe that this article qualifies any more. In fact, searches of "Mohammed Nuru Dini" and "Mohammed Dini" in multiple search engines are giving me no useful results at all. Unless clear significant coverage can be found, this article should be deleted.
- Mohamed Khalaf: nominated at AfD; notified Helaker (talk · contribs) 09:19, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Previous AfD in 2009 closed as 'no consensus' as it was unclear as to whether he played for Al Ahly. Now that WP:NFOOTBALL has been deprecated, the debate about whether he played a game or not is irrelevant. All that matters is WP:GNG. I couldn't find any significant coverage for this Egyptian defender when searching "محمد خلف" in conjunction with clubs that he allegedly played for.
- Solomon Addy: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 09:27, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Kept in a 2009 AfD back when the guidelines were much more lenient; it simply had to be likely to pass WP:ATHLETE, the predecessor to WP:NFOOTBALL, to be kept. The sources presented in the previous discussion were all examples of trivial coverage and do not amount to a WP:GNG pass, which is the current requirement. Searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest yielded nothing better than Wikipedia mirrors.
- Daniel Gyamfi: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 09:59, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Was kept at AfD in 2009 because of an unsubstantiated claim that the subject met WP:ATHLETE (older and more lenient version of WP:NFOOTBALL) but no claim to meeting WP:GNG. Now that ATHLETE and NFOOTBALL are irrelevant, this simply needs to meet GNG. Current source is a stats profile page from a primary source, which is unacceptable. Searches in Google News, ProQuest yields one trivial mention and DDG has no WP:RS at all for him.
- Hoa Hậu Hoàn Mỹ 2022: nominated at AfD; notified Nguyễn lê hồng sơn (talk · contribs) 10:56, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is now the 4th posting of this article in mainspace despite warnings not to. Draft:Hoa hậu hoàn mỹ 2022, Draft:Hoa hậu hoàn mỹ 2022 (2) and Draft:Hoa hậu hoàn mỹ 2022 (3) are the previous incarnations. I'm not familiar with Vietnamese so I'm using a translator to help but this appears to be an article about a beauty pageant. I am, however, struggling to verify its existence. Let's search in Google for some of the contestants' names. Chalis Buwong links only to Wikipedia. Same with another contestant - Efghi Tani. And Sirthop Botp. As you can guess, Wikiame Sitris also fails verification. Article currently fails WP:V, is completely unsourced and is not fit for mainspace in any case.
- List of UEFA Cup and Europa League winning players: nominated at AfD; notified Cmch92 (talk · contribs) 13:25, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:LISTN as these people have not been discussed in detail as a group or set by any WP:RS. Also see strong consensus for deletion at the very similar list Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winning players.
- Midhir Records: nominated at AfD; notified MarquisDS (talk · contribs) 18:11, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't meet WP:NCORP; cited sources do not meet the requirements of WP:ORGIND as they are run by Midhir Records themselves. I searched in multiple places but found no sources satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH. Google News has nothing. Google Books has some directory listings and nothing more. ProQuest also came back with nothing. Clearly not one of the more important indie labels per WP:NMUSIC either.
- Turki Al-Aliweh: nominated at AfD; notified Juventusfan7 (talk · contribs) 18:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to pass WP:GNG. Arabic searches in Google News and DDG failed to provide any independent, significant coverage.
- Max Goh Yi Qi: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 12:46, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer that doesn't meet any relevant guidelines (WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC). Google News has nothing. A Singaporean source search only comes up with the usual stats sites like Soccerpunter and Footballcritic. ProQuest had zero sources. Even when searching "Max Goh", I found nothing to justify an article.
- Omoba Central Model School: nominated at AfD; notified Harvey PearsonKing (talk · contribs) 16:15, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unable to draftify as Draft:Omoba Central Model School already exists. In my searches, I was unable to find any sources that meet the requirements of WP:ORGDEPTH, therefore school appears to fail WP:NORG.
July 2022
[edit]- Anton Badelko: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 12:42, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of meeting WP:GNG from the sources provided in the article nor in Belarusian Wikipedia. A Russian Google News search and a Belarusian Google News search both failed to yield a hit. This Russian search only gives us basic stats databases. No significant coverage found.
- Saimir Çelhaka: nominated at AfD; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 19:31, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This passes the old WP:NFOOTBALL but now that WP:GNG is required, I'm not sure any more. Nothing found in Google News and ProQuest. A search in DDG yielded only the one trivial mention in Sport Ekspres.
- Botond Földi: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 12:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer that appears to fail WP:GNG. I searched in Google News to find only squad list mentions. A Hungarian source search yields some articles on him but, upon closer inspection, these are non-independent as they are websites for clubs that he used to play for or now plays for like Vasas Academy and FC Ajka. GNG requires significant coverage that is independent of the subject.
- List of Syria international footballers born outside Syria: nominated at AfD; notified Kari0t (talk · contribs) 19:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE.
- List of Iran international footballers born outside Iran: nominated at AfD; notified Kari0t (talk · contribs) 07:44, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Could be merged perhaps but I fail to see why this information is important as Wikipedia is not supposed to be an exhaustive collection of stats.
- List of Iraq international footballers born outside Iraq: nominated at AfD; notified Kari0t (talk · contribs) 10:02, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Could be merged perhaps but I fail to see why this information is important as Wikipedia is not supposed to be an exhaustive collection of stats.
- Li Huai Min: nominated at AfD; notified Huaimini17 (talk · contribs) 18:42, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: An apparent autobiography on a non-notable amateur footballer, football fan and former youth player for Balestier. The cited FourFourTwo article confirms that he played in the Balestier academy but not the first team. Whilst this article is more than a passing mention, it is not enough for a Wikipedia article on its own per WP:NBASIC and WP:GNG. Google News has no hits, DDG has only user-generated content and ProQuest had no relevant hits.
- Luqman Ismail: nominated at AfD; notified Jimisee (talk · contribs) 12:35, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Participated in part of a league match and part of a cup match a few years ago and then disappeared. A Singaporean source search uncovered only his Wikipedia article, his LinkedIn profile and some basic stats sites like Soccerpunter, none of which confer notability. Google News had no relevant hits and nor did ProQuest.Current sources are Soccerway - a basic stats site, ESPN - a passing mention and FAS - a basic squad listing. Nothing towards WP:GNG.
- Xhuljo Çolla: nominated at AfD; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 12:55, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite a relatively easy passing of the old WP:NFOOTBALL, no evidence of WP:GNG presented in the article and nothing found when searching in Google News, DDG and ProQuest.
- Bander Al-Bishi: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 15:16, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Yet another stats stub created because the footballer played in one game. A Google News search in Arabic yields irrelevant results and one Goal.com article which only contains one sentence about him, simply stating that he played in one game. I could find no relevant coverage in an Arabic language search. No evidence of passing WP:GNG despite the weak passing of the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline.
- Michalis Patsiavouras: nominated at AfD; notified Michael13598 (talk · contribs) 18:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG according to my searches. Article is currently a stats stub cited only to Soccerway. Google News has no significant coverage of Patsiavouras at all. I also conducted this Greek language search. While there are a few articles with his name in the title, upon closer inspection, none of these are any good as they are just regurgitations of basic press releases from clubs that he played for. See Sports Up and Avena for two examples of trivial coverage which don't meet requirements.
- Michalis Agathangelou: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 18:16, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can find him on Soccerway but there is very little else about this person. Google News only yields brief coverage of a youth footballer of the same name. I tried a Greek language search but failed to get anything better than a bunch of irrelevant hits and some basic stats sites.
- Phyo Paing Soe: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 18:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Could not find any significant coverage when searching in Burmese script or the English transliteration of the name. Google News has the one trivial mention. Nothing found in DDG. Article has him down in the category "Myanmar international footballers" but can't find evidence of a cap and, even if this were correct, it doesn't guarantee an article as WP:NFOOTBALL was deprecated.
- Sai Min Tun: nominated at AfD; notified Kgkalay (talk · contribs) 18:38, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article makes a claim to notability (playing for Myanmar and Zwegapin) which allows this to escape a PROD. The article is unacceptably cited to two Facebook posts and nothing else. Searching in Burmese script yields absolutely nothing and searches in English are no better. Google News has nothing. DDG led me to nothing more than SofaScore which is a completely basic stats page. No evidence of WP:GNG.
- List of Norway international footballers born outside Norway: nominated at AfD; notified Valentinenba97 (talk · contribs) 11:47, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), List of Iran international footballers born outside Iran (AfD) and List of Syria international footballers born outside Syria (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. In other words, where is the evidence of detailed discussion regarding the birthplaces of Norway international footballers? Could be merged perhaps but I fail to see why this information is important as Wikipedia is not supposed to be an exhaustive collection of stats. Just because information an be verified by statistics databases doesn't mean that we absolutely need to have an article on it.
- List of Belgium international footballers born outside Belgium: nominated at AfD; notified Kareldorado (talk · contribs) 10:35, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), List of Iran international footballers born outside Iran (AfD) and List of Norway international footballers born outside Norway (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE and appears to be a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation. In other words, where is the evidence of detailed discussion regarding the birthplaces of Belgium international footballers? It seems to me to be a trivial characteristic. Could be merged perhaps but I fail to see why this information is important as Wikipedia is not supposed to be an exhaustive collection of stats. Just because information can be verified by statistics databases doesn't mean that we absolutely need to have an article on it. By the same logic, we wouldn't have List of Belgium international footballers taller than 1.80m even if such a list could be verified against databases.
- List of Austria international footballers born outside Austria: nominated at AfD; notified Valentinenba97 (talk · contribs) 10:41, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), List of Iran international footballers born outside Iran (AfD) and List of Norway international footballers born outside Norway (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE and appears to be a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation. In other words, where is the evidence of detailed discussion regarding the birthplaces of Austria international footballers? It seems to me to be a trivial characteristic.

- San Myo Oo: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 13:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not look to pass WP:GNG based on the one database source in the article and sources located in a WP:BEFORE search. A Burmese language search yielded nothing more than Facebook and other self-published and therefore unreliable sources. Google News has the one passing mention in an Indonesian news source. DDG contains Blogspot and a bunch of social media sites. Given the complete lack of info and coverage about this footballer, I can't see a good reason for keeping this article.
- West Cenaj: nominated at AfD; notified Tirona aaaa (talk · contribs) 11:51, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any significant coverage and, since WP:NFOOTBALL is deprecated, WP:GNG is required and so a Soccerway stats stub is no longer acceptable unless significant coverage can be located. I searched using multiple search engines but couldn't find anything better than a passing mention in a crime news story in My London. The age of "Uesti Cenaj" matches the details for this footballer so it's likely that they are the same person but the level of coverage is insufficient for GNG and he doesn't meet the criteria at WP:PERPETRATOR.
- Albert Doda: nominated at AfD; notified Tirona aaaa (talk · contribs) 12:06, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability since 2014. A brief look at the edit history shows that someone claiming to be Albert Doda has, on multiple occasions, tried to get the article deleted. See also User talk:Temrk. The article is currently a stats stub and searches in Google Images, Google News and ProQuest yielded nothing useful at all. DDG had some Albanian news stories but none of them appear to be about this particular Albert Doda. The article should be deleted per WP:GNG, WP:SPORTBASIC and per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. Soccerway only shows him playing in one game, which, even prior to the changes in WP:NSPORT recently, wouldn't have been good enough for a stand-alone article per WP:WINNEROUTCOMES.
- Tihomir Živković: nominated at AfD; notified Kgkalay (talk · contribs) 13:51, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Was a BLP PROD at one point but subsequently contested. Can't find anything to suggest he passes WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found a few hits in Google News but all are trivial mentions in match reports or photo captions. A Tips article has his name in the title but the body of the article only mentions him briefly, confirms his nationality, says he scored three goals in two games and contains a one-sentence quote from his coach. Even if this is 'significant coverage', we would still need at least one more independent source. A Croatian source search yielded nothing useful.
August 2022
[edit]- Motzoid India: nominated at AfD; notified Heloshan192 (talk · contribs) 09:10, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Tried to PROD but noticed that there is an old AfD so is ineligible for soft deletion. Rationale still applies Topic appears to fail WP:NCORP and WP:GNG based on what I can find.Possibly WP:TOOSOON as company was founded in 2021.
- Saw Naing Moe Aung: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 20:12, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Original research article on an amateur Burmese footballer with no significant coverage in reliable sources. Article currently cited only to Facebook and Yangon United's website. Searching for his Burmese name "စောနိုင်မိုးအောင်" yields only News Eleven, which is a basic announcement of his release from a third tier Thai team. English language searches in Google News and DDG failed to yield anything useful.
- Ti Nyein Minn: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 20:33, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I have searched "တည်ငြိမ်မင်" as well as "Ti Nyein Minn" and "Ti Nyein Min" but not been able to find any evidence that the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Since WP:NFOOTBALL has now been demoted, there is now no basis for keeping based on his alleged MNL appearances alone.
- Surrey & Hants Border Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Gprfc (talk · contribs) 14:11, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Local amateur football league that appears to exist outside of the English football league system as far as I can tell. This is in no way different to Furness Premier Football League, Mid-Somerset Football League and Guildford and Woking Alliance League all of which were deleted for failing WP:GNG and not meeting the rule of thumb outlined at WP:FOOTYN. I've tried multiple searches under variations of the name and found this Google News search to be the best but its two trivial mentions. Likewise in ProQuest. BNA also only contains trivial local coverage. A results roundup in a small fraction of a column on one page of the Staines & Ashford News is hardly worthy of a Wikipedia article. I mean the local school fête and Easter egg hunt would take up a similar amount of space in such a paper and we'd never dream of writing an article about those!
- Central and South Norfolk League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 14:21, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Local amateur football league that appears to exist way below the defined part of the English football league system as far as I can tell. This is in no way different to Furness Premier Football League, Mid-Somerset Football League and Guildford and Woking Alliance League all of which were deleted for failing WP:GNG and not meeting the rule of thumb outlined at WP:FOOTYN, in fact it's 6 tiers lower than where it would need to be to be presumed notable. Google News contains a few hits all of which are single passing mentions of the league. ProQuest has a few results roundups and a few trivial mentions in local papers. I couldn't find anything useful on BNA.
- Kay Ken: nominated at AfD; notified Villaboy889 (talk · contribs) 16:04, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant coverage in WP:RS under 'Kay Ken' or 'Kwesi Kendrick'. Does not appear to pass WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN. All sources currently used are user-generated so cannot support a notability claim.
- Armando Çili: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 19:19, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub that looks to fail WP:GNG per my searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest. The best that I can find is a passing mention in Panorama Sport which is not even close to significant coverage.
- Nur Amin Malik: nominated at AfD; notified Sleague2013 (talk · contribs) 19:33, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG according to my searches in Google News, ProQuest and DDG. The best source that I can find is ESPN but this only mentions him once in passing meaning that the article potentially falls short of WP:SPORTBASIC as well.
- Tluanghup Thang: nominated at AfD; notified Modernrocker4 (talk · contribs) 20:00, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. A Burmese Google search yielded nothing useful. Google News had nothing in Burmese. DDG just had the usual stats sites. The best that I could find was a squad list mention in an Indian football blog.
- Bulou Vasuturaga: nominated at AfD; notified Tamariki (talk · contribs) 19:07, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Subject appears to fail WP:NRU, WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. All 5 references provided are trivial mentions of Vasuturaga and I was unable to find anything that could be considered as significant, detailed coverage of her in a WP:BEFORE search; only passing mentions in match reports and social media pages.
- Karavaki Lutumaibau: nominated at AfD; notified Tamariki (talk · contribs) 19:14, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm afraid I'm just not finding the depth of coverage to be there for a passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I also can't see how she would pass WP:NRU as she has never participated in a Rugby World Cup semi-final. Nothing in my searches seems to be anything better than a simple mention of her in a squad list, at no point is she discussed in significant detail in WP:RS.
- Adita Milina: nominated at AfD; notified Tamariki (talk · contribs) 19:22, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Every single reference is just a basic squad list mention and I found nothing better in searches. No evidence that Milina passes WP:GNG, WP:SPORTBASIC or indeed WP:NRU.
- List of Vietnam footballers born outside Vietnam: nominated at AfD; notified MrTranCFCVN (talk · contribs) 19:35, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), List of Austria international footballers born outside Austria (AfD) and List of Norway international footballers born outside Norway (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE and appears to be a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation. In other words, where is the evidence of detailed discussion regarding the birthplaces of Vietnam footballers? Seems to be a list for the sake of having a list.
- Evivi Senikarivi: nominated at AfD; notified Tamariki (talk · contribs) 19:41, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Best source I can find is a passing mention in Fiji Sun regarding winning a bronze medal in a children's sports event so clearly doesn't look to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. 5 references in article are all trivial mentions. Can't find evidence of meeting WP:NRU either.
- Henson Cuffie: nominated at AfD; notified Ser Amantio di Nicolao (talk · contribs) 15:47, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC according to my searches. Google News had some squad listings. DDG has only basic stats sites, much like the ones already cited in the article. ProQuest had nothing at all and nor did Newspaper Archive. I could not find one example of a reliable source addressing Cuffie directly and in significant detail. There is nothing that we can build a meaningful biography from.
- Stanley Page: nominated at AfD; notified Add92 (talk · contribs) 09:18, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No improvement since this was previously up for AfD and almost deleted in 2019. Search in British Newspaper Archive in the 1930s did not yield any significant coverage so the WP:GNG concern is still present. Does not meet criteria for a redirect to List of Mansfield Town F.C. players as has not played 50 games or scored 25 goals for them. Comprehensive searches were already conducted by User:HawkAussie and User:Malcolmxl5 in the previous discussion but these were neutralised by comments saying that Page should be kept due to meeting WP:FOOTYN, which has since been deprecated. I, therefore, believe that a 2nd AfD is a reasonable request.
- Amir Mirza: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 11:17, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: A Singaporean source search yields only basic stats sites and some coverage from Tampines' own website, which is a non-independent source. In Google News, I could only find a trivial mention in Detik, which is an U21 match report. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Jarrel Ong: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 11:29, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Google News and ProQuest contain the same trivial mention in The Strait Times. A Singaporean source search was fruitless. Stats stub with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC at this exact moment.
- Ali Manaf: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 11:38, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer with only 10 mins of football to his name of questionable notability. Google News provides some squad list mentions, none of which meet WP:GNG and some youth coverage which clearly falls short on satisfying WP:YOUNGATH. A Singaporean source search yields nothing useful. ProQuest has one relevant hit, a passing mention in The Straits Times.
- Josiah Phua Yong Qi: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 11:43, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC per my searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest, two of which had no hits at all. If you wish to contest this, please present multiple instances of significant, detailed coverage in WP:RS to demonstrate that GNG is met by Phua.
- Merlin Riders FC: nominated at RfD; Target: Ascension Island (notified); notified VilsonF5 (talk · contribs) 18:54, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned at target Ascension Island#Football so this redirect serves little purpose now. Was previously a redirect to Ascension Island Football League where it was mentioned in passing but now that that article is gone, this redirect is redundant.
- Mujammau English Medium Senior Secondary School: nominated at AfD; notified Eagle Site (talk · contribs) 12:47, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I was not able to find the multiple independent and reliable sources required for a passing of WP:NORG. All that I could find were database listings, social media pages and the school's own website, none of which demonstrate notability for a school.
- Hooked Up Records: nominated at AfD; notified Nick carson (talk · contribs) 09:38, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Topic fails WP:NMUSIC as it is quite clearly not one of the more important indie record labels given that it was short-lived and zero notable releases. As a for-profit company, topic also fails WP:NCORP with zero sources meeting WP:CORPDEPTH requirements. The WA Woman source is a passing mention.Google News had zero hits. Google Books had no relevant hits. ProQuest hits are also irrelevant. Newspaper Archive search yields no relevant hits either. No worthwhile content worth merging into College Fall or Anna Laverty.
- Yaroslav Sychyov: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 19:16, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify. Part of a spree of badly sourced BLPs created in the past 7 days on Russian footballers who happened to have played a small number of games in the Russian third tier. WP:SPORTBASIC clearly states that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. which is not the case here. WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:FPL are both deprecated. Google News has one trivial mention and the other 3 hits are about namesakes (and are passing mentions anyway). Nothing found in a Russian search either.
September 2022
[edit]- Juiceslf: nominated at RfD; Target: T3 Live (notified); notified Andrew nyr (talk · contribs) 19:37, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There is no mention of 'Juiceslf' at the target article so clearly this needs to be deleted.
- Semen Finashin: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 20:55, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article was sent to draft space with the comment Badly sourced BLP, not yet passing WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Article was then superficially edited and submitted and then declined by User:Greenman following a comment from User:Robert McClenon. This would have even failed under the old WP:NFOOTBALL as he has never played in an WP:FPL.Subject has played 10 minutes of football in the semi-pro Russian third tier. In a Russian Google News search, we have totally trivial mentions and one semi-decent local source in Vologda.rf. A close examination of that source, though, shows that it's nothing more than a quote from Finashin and saying that he scored a goal three minutes before the end. Nothing better found in DDG. Fails WP:GNG and SPORTBASIC #5.
- Nikita Gruzdev: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 22:44, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer that has played one game in the semi-pro Russian 3rd tier with no other claim to notability. Articles on sportspeople are required to have non-database sources showing significant coverage per WP:SPORTBASIC. A Russian Google News search yielded only a routine injury announcement from a local news outlet. Nothing better found on DGG. Topic fails WP:GNG as well as SPORTBASIC (and would have even failed on the now deprecated WP:NFOOTBALL since Gruzdev has not yet played in an WP:FPL).
- Ilya Kuryshev: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 22:59, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another contested draftify on a non-notable semi-professional footballer that fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Soccerway has him down for 3 third tier Russian league games. Searches in Google News and DDG were unsuccessful in locating any coverage outside of database profile pages and social media. Such coverage is insufficient for SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG (for what it's worth, would also have failed under the deprecated WP:NFOOTBALL).
- Enkel Dauti: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 07:54, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The claims to notability here are enough to probably escape a PROD but ultimately not enough to justify an article. He played 2 cup games for a prominent Albanian club but then completely disappeared 10 years ago. He also won the Kupa e Shqipërisë in 2011 with KF Tirana but doesn't look like he played a game. Google News has nothing at all on Dauti. DDG yielded a bunch of database sources and one passing mention in Panorama. Search under his full name yields zilch.Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC #5, the latter explicitly states that database sources do not confer notability.
- Meisuna Alhassan: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 20:05, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable semi-pro footballer. None of the sources cited demonstrate significant coverage so I'm not seeing how WP:GNG is met. No hits in Google News and no relevant hits in ProQuest. The coverage in DDG is mostly Wikipedia mirrors and other unreliable sources. Digging deeper, you can find a trivial mention in a few places like Modern Ghana but this is far from an acceptable level of depth for an article. Doesn't even pass the bare minimum requirement at WP:SPORTBASIC bullet point 5.
- Aleksandr Klimov (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 20:28, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP which was then moved to Draft:Aleksandr Klimov (footballer), trivially 'improved' and then correctly declined by Greenman for failing to demonstrate how the subject is notable. The 5th bullet point of WP:SPORTBASIC requires all articles on sportspeople to have at least one example of significant coverage and specifically says that database sites don't count towards this. Subject is a semi-pro that has not yet played a game in one of the two professional Russian leagues (according to Soccerway) so I find it unlikely that such sourcing exists.Google News search in conjunction with the name of the club that he plays for yields no relevant hits; the first article mentions in passing a referee of the same name, not a footballer. DDG also didn't seem to yield any independent WP:RS. This article should be deleted and the draft kept.
- Nikita Kuzin: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 19:35, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article was draftified but then contested by creator, hence AfD. Subject has made a small number of appearances in a semi-pro league. Article fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC and would even have failed the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline.Searches in Google News and DDG did not yield any independent significant coverage. The reason that this was draftified was because the subject is young so could potentially be notable in a few years but Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTAL ball so we should only create the article after Kuzin becomes notable.
- Ilnur Gabdullin: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 20:48, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another semi-pro footballer that isn't even close to passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches in Google News and DDG failed to yield anything significant. Does not seem to meet any current guideline and would have even failed under the old guidelines WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:FOOTYN.
- Vitali Tikhomolov: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 22:34, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Has played 5 games in a semi-pro league and the article is currently not sourced to any WP:SIGCOV. Searches in Google News and DDG in Russian failed to yield any decent coverage. The best I could find were trivial mentions in 35media and Krassever. No indication of passing WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG (and would have even failed the old guideline WP:NFOOTBALL having never played in a league listed at WP:FPL).
- Zarni Htet: nominated at AfD; notified Kgkalay (talk · contribs) 09:34, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously a PROD in 2015. I can't find anything to suggest that Zarni Htet meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I have conducted searches in Burmese and English and found nothing better than this article in Myanmar Digital News, which is nothing more than a quote from the subject with absolutely no independent analysis whatsoever.
- Syahadat Masnawi: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 09:48, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SPORTBASIC #5 says Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources., which is failed here. Also doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG. A Google News search yields only trivial mentions, most of which is at youth level as well. A Singaporean source search yielded a long list of database sources, none of which confer notability per my first sentence above. ProQuest has nothing. Soccerway and DDG both show that he hasn't played a professional game since March 2020 so he doesn't have an 'ongoing professional career', not that that would be enough to keep the article anyway. The only recent mention of him that I can find is in Asia Samachar, which mentions him in passing playing in a semi-pro/amateur league.
- Mustapha Douglas: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 13:38, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-professional footballer (possibly retired) that does not appear to have any significant coverage, therefore failing WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. I found nothing in Google News, no relevant hits in ProQuest and some trivial mentions in DDG. The best sources that I can find are Modern Ghana and Ghana Soccernet but both of these are trivial match report mentions and there is consensus within the community that such coverage does not confer notability.
- Erjon Dine: nominated at AfD; notified Mishoo89 (talk · contribs) 15:08, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Former footballer that appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. No hits in Google News, two passing mentions in ProQuest and very little in DDG. He is mentioned in an U21 match report in BBC and mentioned once in an article in Panorama but such coverage is not sufficient for an article.
- Abdulai Seidu: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 09:42, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously hijacked article, which I have now reverted. I'm concerned that this semi-pro footballer fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest were unsuccessful in locating in-depth coverage of Seidu. I found one possibly relevant hit in Africa News Service, I can't seem to access the entire article, but the chances of it containing significant coverage are quite low. In any cases, I am unable to find multiple WP:RS addressing Seidu in detail.
- Ilya Kirillov (born 2002): nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 19:37, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of notability. To date, he has played 9 minutes in a semi-pro league, which is not a valid claim to notability. Google News and a Russian source search have only trivial mentions of Kirillov. Does not appear to pass WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG as there appears to be an absence of significant coverage from reliable and independent sources.
- Vladislav Komissarov: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 13:41, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: An amateur footballer that recently started playing at the semi-pro third tier of Russia with no indication of notability. Nothing useful found in searches of Google News and DDG. Sources currently in the article also count for nothing in terms of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter explicitly confirms that database sources do not confer notability for sports biographies.
- Magomed Adayev: nominated at AfD; notified WildCherry06 (talk · contribs) 13:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway, had a very brief career in the semi-pro third tier of Russia then disappeared. Appears to fail WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG based on sources cited in the article and due to the lack of coverage when searching in Google News and DDG.
- Armando Doda: nominated at AfD; notified Oltian (talk · contribs) 14:16, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been a stats stub for over 14 years and, despite playing a game for one of the biggest clubs in Albania, I can't find any significant coverage. I found nothing in Google News, likewise in ProQuest and only basic stats coverage in DDG. Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC despite playing for Partizani Tirana.
- Saimir Gjeçi: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 07:55, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article was created due to WP:NFOOTBALL, which is no longer in use. I'm struggling to locate any significant coverage and so it looks to be a comprehensive WP:GNG failure. Searches in Google News, ProQuest and DDG all came back empty handed. Since all we have are databases, this fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Roman Tkachuk (footballer, born 2003): nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 08:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with 8 appearances in the Russian third tier and no claim to notability. No significant coverage demonstrated so looks to fail WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG and would have failed the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline. Google News had barely anything and DDG has nothing aside from Transfermarkt, his club's own website and some social media coverage.
- Ivaylo Angelov: nominated at AfD; notified Chris Calvin (talk · contribs) 11:43, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played one minute of professional football back in 2016 but has not played at the professional level since. WP:NFOOTBALL is no longer valid and so Angelov would need to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC to have an article. The article is currently cited only to Soccerway and this Bulgarian search only gives me results about other people of the same name. Searches in both the English language and Bulgarian language were not successful in finding anything towards GNG.
- Lyubomir Aleksandrov: nominated at AfD; notified Yavorescu (talk · contribs) 11:54, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 18 mins of one match as a professional over a decade ago then disappeared into the amateur leagues and made a very brief semi-pro return in 2016 before disappearing again. Nothing in the article indicates notability and WP:NFOOTBALL has been deprecated. Per WP:SPORTBASIC, Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. and this is not the case here. Also fails WP:GNG. Google News had nothing even close to significant coverage regarding Aleksandrov and nor did this Bulgarian source search. The best that I can find is some mentions in a local sports news source sport-vt, which contains a few sentences that mention him but this is insufficient as it's basically some short mentions of him playing in an amateur local sports fixture and we cannot build a meaningful biography from such weak coverage.
- Nikita Rodionov: nominated at AfD; notified WildCherry06 (talk · contribs) 15:28, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable semi-pro footballer which fails the bare minimum requirement of WP:SPORTBASIC, which is that sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Searches of "Никита Родионов" in multiple search engines did not yield any significant coverage of this footballer so it's hard to see how WP:GNG could be met. His professional career in the second tier of Russia, the reason why the PROD was contested, lasted all of 17 minutes so it's one of the weakest claims to notability that there can be, especially since WP:NFOOTBALL is now redundant.
- Inspired by Magnum: nominated at AfD; notified Larona Ignisious Seditse (talk · contribs) 18:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Sorasak Kaewinta: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 20:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. Searches in Thai came back with trivial coverage such as passing mentions in Super Sub Thailand and Siamrath. I did find an article about him in Smmsport but it's only a sentence long and clearly not enough for GNG.
- F.C. PRO Romania: nominated at AfD; notified Maximliviu7 (talk · contribs) 20:44, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Club that plays Sunday league football in the Sceptre Sunday League, which is way, way below the level that would bring a presumption of notability. I can't find anything about this club aside from their own Facebook page and YouTube channel. Looks to be a comprehensive failure of WP:GNG.
- Amarildo Elmazaj: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 19:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who played for 4 minutes as a professional with no apparent other claim to notability. No hits in Google News or ProQuest. A search in DDG yielded only a passing mention in a list of footballers in Panorama. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Crocs Challenge Cup 2010: nominated at AfD; notified Caperspark (talk · contribs) 13:21, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything that would allow for a passing of WP:SPORTSEVENT or WP:GNG. Google News and ProQuest returned nothing at all. A normal Google search yielded no coverage outside of Beachsoccer.com. Beach Soccer Worldwide published some articles like this one but, since it is the promoter of the tournament, it is a non-independent source and so cannot be used to confer notability. There is no evidence that this tournament was covered in detail in independent WP:RS.
- 2012 Mundialito de Clubes squads: nominated at AfD; notified Caperspark (talk · contribs) 13:56, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence that the squad lists were ever covered in any independent WP:RS. There are announcements at Beachsoccer.com but these wouldn't meet the standard as Beach Soccer Worldwide, the organisation that runs this website, is the organisation behind this tournament also. Squad listings should not have Wikipedia articles unless there is evidence of independent coverage, otherwise it just becomes a free web hosting service for the organisation running the tournament.
- Cristiano Abreu: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 22:31, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with no evidence of significant coverage. No evidence of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter of which requires that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. I was unable to find such sources from searching Google News, ProQuest and DDG.
- Matty Jacob: nominated at AfD; notified NONONSENSEDEFENDING (talk · contribs) 15:40, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Struggling to find any significant coverage of this footballer. I've searched in Google News, ProQuest, Google Images and DDG and not found anything better than passing mentions in match reports for Gateshead and some brief loan announcements. Best thing I can find is We Are Hull City which is not WP:RS and fails to count towards WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
October 2022
[edit]- Ilya Yeliseyev: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 10:24, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer that was previously deleted via PROD for failing the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline, which he only trivially meets according to Soccerway. I can't find anything significant about him when searching in Russian in conjunction with the clubs that he has been on the books of. This was given a PROD by User:Jogurney with comment Article about semi-pro footballer which fails WP:SPORTBASIC. which was contested procedurally. The PROD argument itself remains valid, however.
- Igli Gjeçi: nominated at AfD; notified Johnabruzzi007 (talk · contribs) 12:20, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the current references are acceptable for WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC and I was unable to find anything when searching in multiple search engines. I found one single trivial mention in Panorama but this is not even close to being sufficient. Gjeçi has spent his entire career to date in the lower divisions of Albania which might explain the lack of in-depth coverage.
- Péter Csima: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 12:24, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 5 minutes of professional league football then disappeared. Nothing in Google News or a Hungarian source search suggests that Csima can pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC despite trivially meeting the old NFOOTBALL guideline.
- Jota Agostinho: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 08:51, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played one professional game then played as an amateur for the rest of his career. No luck finding anything under "Jota Agostinho" and searching "Jota" in conjunction with the clubs that he played for doesn't yield anything useful either. Plenty of coverage on similarly-named players like Jota (footballer, born 1999), Jota Gonçalves and Diogo Jota but nothing about this one. Fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG as far as I can see.
- Filipp Marayev: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 09:03, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD rationale by User:Jogurney Article about semi-pro footballer which fails WP:SPORTBASIC. Contested with comment has Russian sources and played in fully pro Russian third tier and has ongoing career which is a reference to the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline, which has been redundant for several months now. Interestingly, the Russian third tier was removed from WP:FPL after strong consensus so the PROD removal comment is wrong on at least two counts. The best sources on him are the local news articles Online Vologda and Vologda Poisk but neither article is substantial in terms of coverage. Routine injury and transfer announcements are almost always dismissed at football AfDs.
- Aleksei Usanov: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 09:09, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Sent to draft by User:Onel5969 but moved back with no significant improvement. Would have failed the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline as well.Russian searches in Google News and DDG yielded nothing useful.
- Nikita Gloydman: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro with no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. Searches of "Никита Глойдман" in multiple search engines did not yield any significant coverage. Best source I can find is Tula Sport which is both local and trivial.
- Ivan Mishukov (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 09:33, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another semi-pro footballer with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC provided. Searches of "Иван Мишуков" (including in conjunction with "Торпедо", his current club) in multiple search engines failed to yield even one instance of significant coverage. Closest thing is Live Journal, which can be dismissed as it's a social media site so is excluded from WP:RS.
- Liam Driscoll: nominated at AfD; notified 2A00:23C4:909E:2E01:6CBD:AD32:AB9D:8EA5 (talk · contribs) 15:29, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No assertion of notability in the article; subject is a footballer with an unremarkable amateur career. Currently, the only reference is a loan announcement in local news source Somerset Live. The only other source that I can find is a loan offer rumour in local tabloid Berkshire Live; such sources are usually not seen as evidence of notability in an AfD. Subject doesn't currently meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Futsal at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics – Boys' team squads: nominated at AfD; notified Anbans 585 (talk · contribs) 22:09, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Laundry list of non-notable youth participants in a tournament for a minor sport. The article does not cite any independent sources and the content is largely just a duplication of this FIFA document. If anyone can cite significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the teams (i.e. not FIFA or the FAs for any of the involved countries) then I'll happily withdraw. Youth squad lists are generally deleted; see 1, 2 and 3.
- 2022 UEFA Under-19 Futsal Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Stojan212 (talk · contribs) 22:41, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another laundry list of non-notable youth sportspeople with no evidence of significant coverage from reliable and independent sources. The FAs and UEFA would be considered as non-independent in this case. The article has no navigational purpose. This is no different to 2022 U-16 International Dream Cup squads (AfD) and 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship squads (AfD)
- Draft:Emely Bailey: nominated at MfD; notified 799987scarlett (talk · contribs) 23:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The article is a hoax as there is no such person ever signed to RCA Records or Arista Records. See also similar hoaxes created by a recently indeffed user with a very similar username at Emily Bailey (singer), Draft:Emily Bailey-Carlton and Draft:Emily Isabella Bailey all of which had very similar content to this draft.
- Donald Bejko: nominated at AfD; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 11:04, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter specifically states that database websites are not acceptable for notability purposes as they have very low standards for inclusion. Searching in multiple search engines, I could find nothing other than database websites and Wikipedia mirrors.

- Reason: Struggling to find evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Even an Indonesian source search failed to yield any significant coverage in WP:RS.
- Jorge Abreu: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 09:46, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As per the article, his professional career consisted of only 8 minutes in the second tier of Portugal before disappearing into the amateur divisions or retiring. Database profile pages are all I can find and these are not evidence of notability as per WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, the only relevant guidelines now. Portuguese searches fail to yield relevant coverage and instead come up with irrelevant hits relating to a mayor of the same name. Searching "Jorge Abreu da Silva" yields only database coverage, which is not acceptable either.
- Ljubomir Arsić: nominated at AfD; notified Arsa777 (talk · contribs) 13:05, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches of "Љубомир Арсић" and "Ljubomir Arsić" yielded very little. There is a passing mention in Cajetina, which won't support a notability claim. I have excluded Zlatibor TV because it is a routine transfer piece and is from a non-independent source; a football club website. SPORTBASIC #2 says team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject so, whilst it can be referenced in the article, it cannot be used as a claim to notability.
- 2019 UEFA Under-19 Futsal Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Joaommx (talk · contribs) 19:41, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Yet another (incomplete) list of non-notable children with no evidence of significant coverage from reliable and independent sources. The FAs and UEFA would be considered as non-independent in this case. The article has no navigational purpose since only one participant has a Wikipedia article. This is no different to 2022 U-16 International Dream Cup squads (AfD), 2022 UEFA Under-19 Futsal Championship squads (AfD) and 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship squads (AfD).
- Soe Arkar: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 11:32, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP cited only to a database with low standards for inclusion, so clearly not meeting WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches in Burmese and English sources do not demonstrate any significant coverage. Best I can find are single passing mentions in squad lists in Goal.com and Mizzima. He is erroneously mentioned in the caption at The Sun Daily; Soe Arkar is a goalkeeper and the player pictured is an outfield player. In any case, the depth of coverage is woefully inadequate.
- Eglajd Dedej: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 12:03, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC; searches in ProQuest, Google News and DDG all yielded no detailed WP:RS coverage of Dedej.
- Dmitri Mironenko: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 07:24, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Initial PROD from User:Jogurney was Article about semi-pro footballer which fails WP:SPORTBASIC. This was removed as article was previously deleted via PROD for the exact same reason. The reason for deletion still seems valid so AfD is the next step. Best Russian sources I can find on him are Krassever and Vologda News which only mention him once in passing. He looks to fail WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG and would have even failed under the old WP:NFOOTBALL having never played in either of the top two Russian tiers (see WP:FPL).
- André Afonso: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 11:17, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Only played very briefly then disappeared, I can't find any in-depth, detailed coverage of him. Google News has no hits. Outside of that, I found only trivial coverage in Portuguese WP:RS. Sapo and Ojogo are not enough to satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG.
- Svyataslaw Bokhan: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 11:43, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Created when there was a much lower standard for notability. Current guidelines are WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC which Bokhan does not seem to meet. Searching in Belarusian yields nothing at all. Searching in Russian yields only his own social media accounts and his blog about coaching children. Given that the content is written by him and not by others about him, it does not confer notability.
- Denis Drigalev: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 11:53, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer that played part of one cup game as a professional. I found Football.by in a Russian Google search but it's just a small quote from him with no independent analysis. I found this local source which mentions him in passing. Clearly not the depth or level of significance required to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. A Russian language search failed to yield anything decent.
- Ammar Bilal: nominated at AfD; notified O.SFC (talk · contribs) 09:53, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with no apparent significant coverage in Arabic or English. I found his Soccerway profile, which has no indication of notability or professional appearances. I found a single passing mention in TimeKora and Hasanews, which is an extremely basic transfer announcement with no useful information about Ammar Bilal. Does not look to pass WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC and might have even failed under the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline.
- Fatjon Bytyçi: nominated at AfD; notified Kledigapi (talk · contribs) 11:31, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can only find stats databases, no significant news coverage. His professional career was very brief. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter guideline states [sports] biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.
- Ricardo Araújo (footballer, born 1992): nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 15:23, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article on former footballer with very brief career and no apparent significant coverage. Closest I can find is Mundo Dos Guarda-Redes, which is not enough. Can't find evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Laura McCartney: nominated at AfD; notified Robrangers (talk · contribs) 08:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Jodi McLeary, which is heading for a deletion. None of the current sources used satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC as they are not independent and therefore not reliable. SPORTBASIC specifically states that team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject so the coverage from the official websites and social media pages for Glasgow City, Rangers and Motherwell must be ignored. My search of independent sources found nothing better than a squad list mention in The Scotsman and a passing mention in a match report in Daily Record. Likely WP:TOOSOON along with McLeary.
- Patie M Guns FC: nominated at AfD; notified Neduko (talk · contribs) 18:45, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD by User:Sam Sailor rationale was Local football club that fails WP:NTEAM. NTEAM is itself linked closely to WP:GNG which requires multiple reliable and independent sources showing significant, direct coverage of the subject. If this is to be treated as an organisation, then it fails WP:NORG, in particular WP:ORGDEPTH. Furthermore looks to fail WP:V as the only source cited is a Facebook page which is not WP:RS and does not contain any significant facts about this club. The article is essentially unsourced and has been since 2016. Nothing in my WP:BEFORE suggests that this article can be verified.
- Abdullah Suleiman: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 12:43, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any significant coverage to indicate WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. He exists in a few football databases but this would not meet requirements. Stadium Astro is only a single passing mention. A Malaysian source search returned nothing of note.
- Yan Lin Aung: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 11:49, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, even when searching using Burmese script. Best I can find is Liputan6 and Kompas, which are both some way short of the mark.
- Ibrahim Bidhi: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 12:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP cited only to a stats database, no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Arabic searches came back with a few trivial mentions in squad lists but nothing more. Best sources were Sport KSA, Al Riyadh and Al Weeam all of which only mention Bidhi once in a list of footballers. I could not find any significant, detailed coverage of this footballer.
- 2008 Cyprus Four Nations Football Tournament: nominated at AfD; notified Qampunen (talk · contribs) 21:40, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Following the deletion of 1998 Cyprus International Tournament ([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1998 Cyprus International Tournament|AfD]]), I intended to bring this here but never got around to it. My concerns are that this friendly tournament doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSEVENT. Also worth noting that WP:NOTDATABASE states that merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Also GNG states that a topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. EU Football is a stats database with low standards for inclusion and the other cited source 4 nations appears to relate to a totally different tournament. I am not seeing anything in cursory searches to indicate that this topic received detailed media coverage. Given the clear consensus to delete the 1998 article, I'm not seeing any reason as to why this one should be any different and the WP:BURDEN should be on those wishing to have a stand-alone article to provide evidence of why this topic needs one.If anyone finds multiple examples of detailed reliable media coverage in any language, I will happily withdraw this AfD.
November 2022
[edit]- Aliyu Abdullahi Aliyu Sumaila: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 20:33, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The article seems to fail verification and may even be a vanity hoax. The issues are identical to those faced at Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila, which is also at AfD. Searches of the article's title, "Khalifan Waliyi Maiduniya" and "Khalifan Muallimawa". This article cites a lot of 'books' but I can't seem to find any evidence that these books even exist let alone mention this "Aliyu Abdullahi Aliyu Sumaila" person. I would oppose a merge to Muallimawa due to the verification issues.
- Abdullahi Ahmed Sumaila: nominated at AfD; notified Makama1946 (talk · contribs) 20:41, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Searches of "Abdullahi Ahmed Sumaila" and "Dandarman Sumaila" yield only Wikipedia mirrors so this article looks to fail verification. The sources used either don't seem to exist at all or there is no evidence that they mention this person at all. Even if this person does exist, I'm struggling to see how they would pass WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO given the complete lack of genuine coverage found.
- Ahmed Sumaila: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 20:47, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Same issues as Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila. Searches of "Ahmed Sumaila" yield nothing of note yet the claims in the article are so extraordinary that this person ought to be a household name, surely. The sources used are identical to those used in all of the other Sumaila vanity articles that have been created in the past year or so and the article content is nearly identical too.
- Saude Abdullahi-Aliyu: nominated at AfD; notified Makama1946 (talk · contribs) 20:54, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Same problems as Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila. The article contains many, many claims to notability but none of them seem to pass verification. Searches of her name yield only Wikipedia mirrors. I can find no evidence that "Saude Abdullahi-Aliyu" is covered in any of the sources cited and many of the sources seem to be fictitious.
- Yusuf Abdullahi Sumaila: nominated at AfD; notified Hasiyabala (talk · contribs) 21:07, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Same case as Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila. Searches of "Yusuf Abdullahi Sumaila" yield only Wikipedia mirrors and "Tafidan Sumaila" yields only Facebook. Sources cited seem to fail verification. No true evidence of WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:NPOL despite alleging to be a prominent member of a royal family, a businessperson and a politician all at once.
- Waliyi Abdurrahim-Maiduniya: nominated at AfD; notified Makama1946 (talk · contribs) 21:20, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar to Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila and appears to be created and maintained by the same sock/meat farm. I can only find Wikipedia mirrors when searching for this person despite the massive claims to notability present in the article. This was declined twice in draft and then moved over without addressing the issues. Currently looks like a WP:GNG and WP:V fail.
- Aliyu-Talle Maiduniya Sumaila: nominated at AfD; notified Hasiyabala (talk · contribs) 21:41, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Multiple issues with WP:V and WP:GNG. Same case as Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila. In searches, I can only find Wikipedia mirrors. Sources cited seem to either not mention the subject or are completely fictitious themselves.
- Muallimawa: nominated at AfD; notified Makama1946 (talk · contribs) 23:21, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can only find Wikipedia mirrors relating to this topic, meaning that it potentially fails WP:V and WP:GNG. The sources cited are just the same ones recycled on all of the other 'Sumaila' hoax articles. The books cited The History of Abdullahwa Dynasty and The Muallimawa Dynasty do not exist.
- House of Maiduniya: nominated at AfD; notified Hasiyabala (talk · contribs) 11:51, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As per the 'multiple issues' tag, this article is a hoax maintained by a sock farm that also produced Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila and several other very similar articles. The only coverage of this topic is from Wikipedia mirrors. The 'references' are mostly to non-existent books and, those that do exist, have no mention of this supposed noble family.
- Banu Gha: nominated at AfD; notified Makama1946 (talk · contribs) 12:25, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another dubious article that fails WP:V. Uses the same sources as Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila. The one citation that might have allowed this to be notable is Al-Wali, Muhammadu (1980). History of Banu Gha. Kano: Kadawa Printing Press. I cannot, however, find any indication that such a book exists anywhere. Given that there are several other articles created with these same false sources by the same farm of editors (two of which are now confirmed socks), I believe this to be a hoax article.
- Ivan Vinkov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 12:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a semi-pro footballer with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. A Bulgarian source search yields nothing better than a brief announcement of his release from a semi-pro club and an image caption in 7sport. Vinkov is not addressed in detail so there is no opportunity to build a meaningful biography.
- Ivan Penev: nominated at AfD; notified Lugnuts (talk · contribs) 12:59, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Previous AfD relates to a footballer of the same name so this should be treated as a first AfD. There are many people with this name in Bulgaria, including a tennis player, but I can't find any extensive coverage of this Olympian. All that I can find are simple stats pages like the ones already cited. As Penev never came close to winning a medal, he does not meet WP:NOLY. The lack of coverage would also indicate a failure of WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches like this one only seem to come up with coverage of namesakes. I considered redirecting the article but, since he was involved in two different Winter Olympics, I can't see how I could redirect to only one of them. Outright deletion would be more beneficial to the reader.
- Imam Ghali: nominated at AfD; notified Hasiyabala (talk · contribs) 13:19, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of existence or notability, fails WP:V. Same issues as Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila. Appears to be part of a series of hoaxes created by sockpuppets. Cited sources are either books that do not exist or ones that do not mention "Imam Ghali Kadawa" at all.
- Sarkin Madinawa Malamai: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 13:32, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of notability and fails WP:V; was tagged as a concern in January 2022. The title and its supposed holders seem to all be completely made up by the article creator, who has subsequently been blocked for obvious sockpuppetry. Part of a WP:WALLEDGARDEN using fake references to disguise the fact that the articles are all unsourced and likely hoaxes. The books cited, such as Madinawa and Their Teachings, are fake as well.
- Makaman Kano Iliyasu: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 10:10, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of existence or notability and fails WP:V too. Unlike Waliyi Abdurrahim-Maiduniya and Imam Ghali, the references appear to be to books that actually exist. I can find no evidence, however, of a "Makaman Kano Iliyasu" being discussed at length in any of these books. My own searches are coming up with Wikipedia mirrors only. The article creator has created several hoaxes so it makes it hard for me to WP:AGF with this one.
- Sheikh Ibrahim Shi'ithu Ghali: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 10:17, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Same case as Ahmed Abdullahi Aliyu Abdurrahim Sumaila. Plenty of 'references', all of which seem to be false. Plenty of claims to notability but no actual evidence. Fails WP:V and appears to be a well-engineered hoax.
- Sheikh Shi'ithu Ghali: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 10:23, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: If Banu Gha and Imam Ghali are hoaxes, then this one is likely to be one too. The article uses a lot of false references to books that don't exist such as The History of Al-Ghali Family which makes it hard to WP:AGF. My searches are coming back with Wikipedia mirrors only, exactly the same as all of the other articles created by this sock farm.
- Koray Karagözoğlu: nominated at AfD; notified Gokhantig (talk · contribs) 10:38, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD but no evidence of WP:GNG was offered for this amateur footballer. Current sources are unacceptable as they are either fan sites, Blogspot or just basic stats sites. He therefore doesn't look to pass WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches, including this Turkish search, shows that coverage does exist in WP:RS but it's all quite weak and most sources are only slight rewordings of the same transfer announcement. See NTV Spor and Hurriyet. I did also find a contract renewal announcement in Ogun Haber but this is also very weak and doesn't give any detailed content about Koray.
- Serkan Silan: nominated at AfD; notified Gokhantig (talk · contribs) 10:50, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Amateur footballer that does not seem to pass WP:GNG. A Turkish source search yielded stats sites and trivial coverage. Haberler is not sufficient for an article as it merely mentions his position, age and former clubs, so covers nothing more than a stats site would. Iyigunler mentions him as 2nd captain and says that he played 23 games but I wouldn't consider that coverage significant enough for a stand-alone either. Consensus from previous AfDs is that brief transfer announcements do not confer notability.
- Pedro Alves (footballer, born 1996): nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 20:00, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Sources cited are way short of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find in my own WP:BEFORE is Gazeta Paços de Ferreira and JN which are not even remotely close to being significant coverage. Footballer made 5 brief appearances as a youth, according to Soccerway, then disappeared into regional divisions, according to the article. This might explain the lack of relevant coverage.
- Klajdi Dule: nominated at AfD; notified Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk · contribs) 20:11, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Made some professional appearances, so would have met WP:NFOOTBALL when created but, since that guideline has been removed, the article seems to fall short. I can find nothing even close to WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter explicitly says that database sources are insufficient. In fact, I'm struggling to even find basic news coverage of Dule. Google News and ProQuest have nothing at all, which is quite damning for an internet-era footballer.
- Taras Movlyan: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 20:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: His 10 minutes in the third tier of Ukraine might be enough to avoid a PROD but I can't see anything that would allow for a passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The article has 8 references and 4 external links, all of which are database profile pages which SPORTBASIC clearly says are not enough to confer notability. A Ukrainian source search yields nothing better. Best source I can find is PFL which is just his name appearing in a squad list.
- Madinawa: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 20:14, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Since Imam Ghali, Banu Gha and House of Maiduniya all appear to be hoaxes, this automatically means that other articles that are part of the same series need to be scrutinised too. There are a few hits for "Madinawa" but none seem to relate to a Nigerian clan. The term "Awliya Madinawa Malamai" only seems to yield Wikipedia mirrors. The references are the same fake ones used by the article creator and their sockpuppet accounts. The only one that might have given this article hope was Abdullahi, Ahmed (1999). Madinawan Kano. Danlami Printers but this book does not seem to actually exist.
- Gonzalo Lóvera: nominated at AfD; notified Durneydiaz (talk · contribs) 21:29, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing professionally in Argentina and Peru, I am unable to find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. This was kept 10 years ago purely because of the deprecated WP:NFOOTBALL guideline, based on WP:FPL. This article now needs to be assessed against the guidelines that currently apply. The best Chilean source that I can find is Al Aire Libre and the best Argentine one is Mundo Ascenso; neither of these are even close to significant. Worth noting that Ultima Hora is about a different person of the same name as the subject of that article is a Paraguayan winner of a Spanish lottery.
- Hausa–Fulani Arabs: nominated at AfD; notified Zaibala (talk · contribs) 11:30, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Hoax article created by a sock farm, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zaibala. The article, like Banu Gha and the other hoaxes, uses a lot of false references in an attempt to masquerade as a notable topic.The following sources would indicate notability if they were real:Ibrahim, Muhammad (1987). The Hausa-Fulani Arabs: A Case Study of the Genealogy of Usman Danfodio. Kadawa Press.Bashir, Ali (2000). Kano Malams in the Ninteenth Century. River Front Press.Sani, Muhammadu (1990). Arab Settlers in Kano. Sauda Voyager.Abdullahi, Ahmed (1999). Madinawan Kano. Danlami Printers.Not only are the books completely fictitious, the authors and publishing houses are too. The books that do exist make no mention of the "Hausa-Fulani Arabs" but instead talk about African history. For example, this journal is used to support the article but clearly makes no mention of this made-up ethnic group.
- Yan Naing Aung: nominated at AfD; notified Kgkalay (talk · contribs) 21:03, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC when searching in Burmese script or otherwise. Ludu Nway Oo is the only source that I can find that is more than a database profile page but it lacks the necessary depth to justify an article. Being arrested and then released the following day is not a notable enough event unless it gained worldwide coverage and I can't see any indication that it did.
- Ye Yint Tun: nominated at AfD; notified Modernrocker4 (talk · contribs) 21:13, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer that does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I can't find any decent coverage in Burmese script of this footballer. My searches otherwise are only bringing up news stories about a journalist with the same name that got sentenced to prison this year. Nothing about the footballer.
- Tamás Varga (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 18:18, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 59 minutes of professional league football then disappeared into the semi-pro/amateur leagues for the rest of his career. The article is a badly sourced BLP stats stub that does not demonstrate WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best source that I can find in my own searches is Erdmost, which is a trivial mention of Varga. Please note that his name is extremely common in Hungary so it's possible to find coverage of namesakes such as a goalkeeper coach from Veszprém and a water polo player.
- Cracking (album): nominated at AfD; notified Makeitbro (talk · contribs) 21:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- Gabriel Myong: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 13:13, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who played 44 mins at pro level then disappeared. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Nothing useful found in Google, ProQuest, Newspapers.com or DDG.
- Mubarak Al-Bishi: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 16:28, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on semi-pro footballer with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Subject played 2 cup games then disappeared into the semi-pro/amateur levels. Best sources I can find are Akhbaar 24 and Alyaum both of which clearly duplicate each other. Also, this basic transfer announcement does not amount to significant coverage as it doesn't allow us to build a meaningful biography for the footballer.
- Daily News (United Arab Emirates): nominated at AfD; notified ProNiloy (talk · contribs) 21:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Newspaper website that started just over a month ago. I can't find any decent third party coverage about this newspaper nor its parent company, Niloy Digital LLC. It might pass WP:GNG in a few years but it's WP:TOOSOON at this moment, in my view. I would have tagged as WP:A7 if newspapers qualified for this.
- David Bocaj: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 14:33, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing a decent number of professional matches, no evidence of significant coverage for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Gazeta TemA which merely states his age, position and birthplace (Soccerway could tell you that). There is also a story mentioning him in Panorama but this is a textbook example of a trivial mention.
- List of tallest buildings in Raipur: nominated at AfD; notified Mettle30 (talk · contribs) 20:48, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Should be deleted for the same reasons as List of tallest structures in Isfahan, List of tallest buildings in Rajasthan and List of tallest buildings in Ludhiana. Some of the individual buildings are mentioned in the media but I see no reliable sources discussing in detail the topic of 'tallest buildings in Raipur'. The statistics in the article are a violation of WP:NOR.It fails WP:LISTN. We can't even argue that the list is a useful navigation tool or index as none of the contents of the list are notable. Most importantly, this topic does not have WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS and there is clear consensus in all recent AfDs for "List of tallest buildings in ___" on this issue. See search results.
- 2022 Pacific Women's Four Nations Tournament squads: nominated at AfD; notified Lunar Spectrum96 (talk · contribs) 12:30, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Squad listing for minor friendly tournament, similar case to 2006 ELF Cup squads, Football at the 2009 Maccabiah Games – Women's team squads and 2022 South American Under-17 Women's Football Championship squads all of which were deleted with clear consensus. I can find no evidence that the squads were covered in multiple reliable and independent sources so the topic does not meet WP:GNG and I'm not seeing a WP:LISTN pass either as the contents of this list are not discussed as a group - a pre-match squad listing on Twitter doesn't count for this.
- 2022 WAFF Women's Futsal Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Lunar Spectrum96 (talk · contribs) 12:48, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Squad listing for minor futsal tournament, similar case to 2019 UEFA Under-19 Futsal Championship squads and Futsal at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics – Boys' team squads all of which were deleted with clear consensus. I can find no evidence that the squads were covered in multiple reliable and independent sources so the topic does not meet WP:GNG and I'm not seeing a WP:LISTN pass either as the contents of this list are not discussed as a group. In fact, I'm struggling to even see how WP:V is met as I can't see where the article creator has got their information from; the article appears to be original research in violation of WP:NOR.
- 2000 WAFF Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Suren01 (talk · contribs) 13:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This list is not at all suitable for main space but the article is too old to be draftified. I can't see any evidence that this list will ever be complete, at least not from what's available online about this tournament. The one source for the Iraq squad looks okay but I can't see that the same type of source exists for Palestine, Syria etc. I believe that there is no potential for this topic to meet WP:GNG or WP:LISTN and should be outright deleted but, if people are adamant that there is potential, I'm happy for this article to be sent to draft to allow time for the article to be completed as an WP:ATD.
- Hélder Arruda: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 17:08, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. He played 43 mins of professional football and then disappeared. Local paper Açoriano Oriental is one of the shortest transfer announcements that I've ever seen. Portugoal has 2 sentences on him. I searched him up on ProQuest and found some trivial mentions which also don't count towards notability.
- Samuel Duah Kwaku: nominated at AfD; notified MoldovaFootball4ever (talk · contribs) 17:40, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything to suggest that he meets criteria. The only sources that I can find are stats sites like Soccerway and Global Sports Archive so looks like a failure of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Zakaria Benkabouche: nominated at AfD; notified MelindaWg (talk · contribs) 17:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything in reputable sources about Benkabouche. Nothing in Google Books, ProQuest or Google that is of any use. All I can find is his own website and social media accounts. Looks to fail WP:FILMMAKER and WP:GNG.
- Nicolae Bortă: nominated at AfD; notified Kolya77 (talk · contribs) 17:55, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who played a couple of seasons in Moldova then disappeared. Even a Romanian language source search comes up with nothing decent about him. WP:SPORTBASIC specifically states that database profile pages do not confer notability. Best sources that I can find are Mold Football and Publika both of which only mention Bortă once and fall way short of WP:GNG.
- Nasir Chaudhry: nominated at AfD; notified Singer NasirRanjhy Wala (talk · contribs) 09:26, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Cross-wiki spam that is a classic case of WP:REFBOMB of 'references' that don't even mention the subject. Those that do mention him are completely unreliable and are actually written by Nasir Chaudhry or a close relative. Full source analysis to follow.

[edit]- Shwe Ko: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 23:47, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can only find trivial coverage like Ghana Soccernet in online searches. I can't find any sources that contribute towards WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC while searching in Burmese script or otherwise.
- Omar Ahmed (tennis): nominated at AfD; notified Adamtt9 (talk · contribs) 14:10, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:NTENNIS and WP:GNG. Possibly did meet NTENNIS at the time of creation as Davis Cup was previously an automatic notability pass. This was subsequently removed after a community discussion. The best source I can find is this trivial mention in Saudi Gazette. Matters are not helped by the fact that his name is so ridiculously common, making a WP:BEFORE search very difficult in both Arabic and English.
- Christoforos Charalambous: nominated at AfD; notified Tofffeees (talk · contribs) 14:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything even close to meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is Omonoia News (translated version), which is a basic announcement of contract expiry from a website that focuses solely on one Cypriot club, so therefore has very low standards for inclusion.
- Renaldo Bedini: nominated at AfD; notified Bledion (talk · contribs) 14:29, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any coverage of this footballer at all outside of World Football and Football Database, so there is no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. This person should not be confused with the Argentine lawyer 'Reinaldo Bedini', who has been in the news quite a lot in the past year or so. Bedini has a few professional appearances so PROD would be contested, unfortunately.
- Christian Egba: nominated at AfD; notified Kengi1982 (talk · contribs) 10:08, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing in professional games, I'm not seeing enough coverage for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The two current references are textbook examples of trivial mentions. I've searched in ProQuest, Google News, DDG and other places and can't find anything better than Spin, which is just another trivial mention. He is present in Playmaker Stats and some other databases but community consensus is that these don't justify inclusion, see SPORTBASIC for more details.
- Dani Alves (footballer, born 1993): nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 11:14, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unfortunately, very difficult to do an effective WP:BEFORE search because of the existence of Dani Alves and Danny (footballer). Using what little we know of this obscure Paris-born Portuguese footballer of this name, I can find nothing better than Mais Futebol and Diário de Notícias, both of which are just squad list mentions, confirming that he was on the bench in a game. This is far from the detailed coverage that WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC both require.
- Handball at the 2015 African Games – Men's tournament squads: nominated at AfD; notified Valmir144 (talk · contribs) 12:55, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: List of sportspeople with no evidence of significant coverage in independent sources, therefore failing WP:LISTN. The sources used to verify the content are permanent dead links so this also fails WP:V currently. I would oppose merging the content, firstly, because it would make the parent article too large (see WP:NOTMERGE) and, secondly, because it is completely unsourced.
- 2016 Angola Women's Handball League squads: nominated at AfD; notified Valmir144 (talk · contribs) 13:11, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article violates WP:NOR and WP:V as the cited source, the sole reference for the article, does not even confirm the content. I am not able to find anything that does verify the content. More importantly, the topic doesn't seem to meet WP:LISTN as I am unable to find any evidence that there are independent sources discussing these sportspeople as a group. Searching the contents of this article only seems to take us to this Wikipedia article.
- Vaqueras de Bayamón squads: nominated at AfD; notified Osplace (talk · contribs) 14:13, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Lacks the significant third party coverage to establish notability. I am not convinced that an exhaustive list of past volleyball squads is an encyclopaedic topic. Article is currently a squad list for one season with one source that does not even verify the topic. I can't see how this would pass WP:GNG or WP:LISTN and, in its current form, it violates WP:V. If this article were not already over 11 years old, I would be looking to move it to draftspace for not being ready for mainspace.
- 2016–17 Młoda Liga squads: nominated at AfD; notified DariaPolonia (talk · contribs) 14:22, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I see no reason why we need to have a squad listing for this particular season of the Młoda Liga, which is a domestic under-23 youth league. I can see no evidence that this topic has garnered significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject. The only source used is the Młoda Liga official website which is clearly and obviously not an independent source. In terms of building an encyclopaedia, such lists serve little purpose, especially when the overwhelming majority of the people listed are non-notable.
- 2016 Angola Men's Handball League squads: nominated at AfD; notified Valmir144 (talk · contribs) 22:55, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article violates WP:NOR and WP:V as source 1 and source 2, the sole references for the article, do not even confirm the content. I am not able to find anything that does verify the content. More importantly, the topic doesn't seem to meet WP:LISTN as I am unable to find any evidence that there are independent sources discussing these sportspeople as a group. Searching the contents of this article only seems to take us to this Wikipedia article.I oppose merging as the article is essentially unsourced and contains info about living people.
- Gavriel Constantinou: nominated at AfD; notified Anonole (talk · contribs) 12:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub for a footballer with no evidence of being able to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter guideline clearly states that the likes of Soccerway do not confer notability. All I can find in Greek language searches are basic press releases and no actual detailed coverage. Anorthosis 24 is an Anorthosis Famagusta F.C. fan site with low standards for inclusion and is only 3 sentences long (translated here). Kerkida is also painfully brief and the content is copied and pasted from a club press release per the translated version.
- Plataneros de Corozal squads: nominated at AfD; notified Osplace (talk · contribs) 12:41, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing enough to justify a stand-alone encyclopaedia article here. Primera Hora and fpvoleibol.com fail to discuss the subject in any great detail. Fails WP:GNG and WP:LISTN from what I can see. I would oppose a merge unless proper sourcing that verifies the article's content can be located.
- Elvis Okoroafor: nominated at AfD; notified Jacksnowc (talk · contribs) 12:46, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any decent coverage, even most database websites seem to omit him. There has been a lot of edit warring and heated debate about this article but, in my view, it fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC by a long way. Source analysis to follow. WP:BEFORE search yielded zilch.
- Stavros Christoudias: nominated at AfD; notified Ctoudias (talk · contribs) 13:48, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly recreated badly sourced BLP and a likely autobiography. The coverage clearly falls short of WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG and a WP:BEFORE search yielded nothing better. Google News had zero hits. Sigma Live 1 is a trivial mention (and is also a copy-paste of a press release from the club website) as is Sigma Live 2. Trifylli seems promising as it actually contains a paragraph about him but it is a fan site for AC Omonia and not true independent WP:RS. Even if this source were acceptable, SPORTBASIC explicitly calls for multiple non-trivial secondary sources which we do not appear to have for this WP:AUTOBIO.
- Amor Hamdi: nominated at AfD; notified LeinsterLion (talk · contribs) 20:26, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Extremely overdue AfD for this badly sourced BLP that hasn't had a proper source since it was created in 2010. He exists because I can find a mention in World Rugby and Nation but we know nothing about this person other than the fact that he is a Tunisian person and that he plays rugby. I can't find any justification for an article or a passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I'm not sure if he would have met WP:NRU but that guideline seems to have been deprecated.
- Vlado Ursić: nominated at AfD; notified Chala2301 (talk · contribs) 23:10, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NRU has been deprecated so this article needs to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC now. Best sources I can find are Sportnet, which is a bunch of passing match report mentions and Vecernji, which mentions him as the coach of an under-18 side. Doesn't seem to pass the tougher standards that apply now.
- Sidonie Rakotoarisoa: nominated at AfD; notified Mistico (talk · contribs) 23:36, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of notability for this individual; looks to fail WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. The source Pundit Arena is just a squad list mention. The player has 4 hits in ProQuest but every single one is just a trivial mention in a match report or squad list. I can't find any example of actual detailed coverage. The French Wikipedia article also doesn't contain anything of use here.
- Yannasit Sukchareon: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 11:02, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer that does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC in spite of playing one game of professional football. Best sources I can find are Ballthai, which is a basic contract renewal announcement - not sure if Ballthai is WP:RS but, even if it is, this isn't enough depth for a Wikipedia article. Super Sub Thailand also has a paragraph about him but this looks like a blog post. The depth isn't great either, it merely lists the age at which he joined Muangthong and lists a few low-level clubs that he was loaned out to.
- Chayanon Khamkan: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 11:20, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Looks to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC based on my searches. A Thai search yielded nothing better than social media, forum posts and Wikipedia itself. Google News gave me 3 hits, all of which were trivial mentions in TrueID. See 1, 2 and 3. The best coverage is Himsanam but, when translated, the article is little more than a quote on him being happy that he scored a goal. The same website shares another quote from him in another post. SPORTBASIC requires multiple published non-trivial secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. which is not found above when all I can find is a few instances of the player talking about himself on a Thai football website, which may or may not even be WP:RS (I couldn't see any indication of editorial oversight).
- Alireza JJ: nominated at AfD; notified Farjj (talk · contribs) 11:48, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Following the previous AfD, this was redirected to Zedbazi. Vice mentions Alireza JJ but it's only really in the context of being a member of the band. I can't see any reason why this person needs to have a separate Wikipedia article. There have been attempts by User:Materialscientist, User:Onel5969 and me to restore the redirect from the previous AfD but this has been contested multiple times.I am happy with deletion or restoring the redirect from the previous AfD a few years ago.
- Sohrab MJ: nominated at AfD; notified Mohammadreza zii (talk · contribs) 11:56, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Zero independent coverage. Fails WP:GNG, WP:BASIC and WP:NMUSICIAN. Redirect to Zedbazi (even this is debatable as an WP:ATD as Sohrab MJ is not mentioned in any of the sources) was reverted by article creator, so here we are.
- Malaysia national under-16 futsal team: nominated at AfD; notified Coolmaxdrink (talk · contribs) 11:14, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't see any evidence that this topic meets the requirements of WP:GNG. There is no sourced content worth merging and I don't believe that a redirect to Malaysia national futsal team would serve any purpose since the under-16 team is not mentioned there nor should it be.
- Bhutan national futsal team results: nominated at AfD; notified Fenix down (talk · contribs) 11:32, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: In my view, the summary of Bhutan's competitive futsal record in Bhutan national futsal team is completely sufficient and this article is excessive statistical detail for a team playing in a minor sport that has yet to even draw or win a match! An exhaustive results listing is not the done thing on Wikipedia, even for the more successful futsal teams. I would oppose merging the content to the parent article as the content is sourced to permanent dead links so there is a clear WP:V concern. The only sources that I can find are all primary, such as AIMAG 2013, which contributes nothing towards a WP:GNG claim. I can't find any evidence of coverage from secondary sources and, for most of the matches, even primary sources seem to be impossible to locate.
- Nicky Ioannou: nominated at AfD; notified Mattythewhite (talk · contribs) 19:44, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played part of 2 matches in the 4th tier of England before seemingly disappearing from the public eye. WP:NFOOTBALL no longer exists so Ioannou needs to meet WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC to have an article. No hits in Google News, ProQuest or the British Newspaper Archive which casts some doubt on whether the significant coverage in multiple independent sources exists. Since there is not yet a list of all Barnet FC players, I'm not seeing any appropriate WP:ATD at this moment in time.
- Evangelos Georgiou: nominated at AfD; notified Zecke1910 (talk · contribs) 19:57, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence that Georgiou passes WP:GNG/WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources are Super Sport FM, which is a copy and paste of a press release from his club, and Sigma Live, which merely states that he had a good performance in one match. You can't build a substantial biography from this type of coverage, only a stats stub, which is what we have currently.
- 1981 Bandy World Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Smartskaft (talk · contribs) 11:32, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: List with no indication of how the topic meets WP:LISTN. The one reference used is clearly a primary source and I can't see that any significant, independent coverage is available. I don't see any reason to merge to 1981 Bandy World Championship either since the Sweden squad list is already covered in the template at the bottom of the article and, as of writing this, there are still no Norway, Finland or Soviet Union lists available. I can't think of any guideline or policy-based reason to keep this article. Essentially, it's a navigational list with no notable entries, therefore it doesn't even fulfil a basic navigational purpose anyway and its redundant when compared against Template:Sweden squad 1981 Bandy World Championship, which is already used in the main article.
- Giorgos Kakoullis: nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 11:51, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: More than half of the hits in Greek are actually for Giorgos Kakoullis (footballer, born 2000), which was deleted earlier this year following this discussion. We therefore need to ignore this Sigma Live Q&A and this passing mention in Phile News completely. In fact, the only mentions of the 1985 born Kakoullis that I can find are Sigma Live, which is a copy and paste of an Olympiakos Nicosia press release and Kerkida, which is essentially the same thing. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and no other guidelines are relevant any more. He might have played a handful of professional games but doesn't appear to be notable under the current guidelines.
- Aulent Guri: nominated at AfD; notified Mishoo89 (talk · contribs) 15:23, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP with no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. Searches in Google News and ProQuest returned nothing. Tried several other search engines to no avail.
- Iran national futsal team all-time record: nominated at AfD; notified Shahin (talk · contribs) 20:47, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced stats dump with no evidence of notability. Violates key Wikipedia policies WP:NOR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I can't see how any amount of editing would be able to resolve these issues.
- Mohammad Afganiladin: nominated at AfD; notified Chrissteel34 (talk · contribs) 13:07, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I appreciate that this footballer is still quite young, but he doesn't seem to be notable just yet. I have done an extensive WP:BEFORE, which includes an Indonesian source search. Best sources found were Goal, Bolasport and Bola. All of these were mere mentions in a squad list. I could not find any indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Please note that playing in an WP:FPL is no longer enough per WP:NSPORTS2022.
- Zack Maher: nominated at AfD; notified Zebroski (talk · contribs) 18:12, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC as I have been unable to locate significant coverage in searches. WP:FPL no longer relevant as WP:NFOOTBALL no longer exists.Merthyr Town fails to establish notability as SPORTBASIC states team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject. The only slightly decent source that I could find was The 72 but this merely confirms his age and that he played two games for Newport - Soccerway could tell you that. Everything else that came up was just a mention in a squad list in local papers.
- Plarent Fejzaj: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 12:55, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to locate any sources that would cover the requirements of WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. I found nothing at all in Google News and ProQuest and, in other searches, the only non-database source that I could find was Newsport.al, which is nowhere near enough to pass the requirements for notability.
- Omar Abdelwasea: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 17:49, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Played one season in an WP:FPL then disappeared. I've tried to find at least one source that might meet the requirements of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC but have failed to find any in any language. I found Al Watan 1, which is a trivial mention and Al Watan 2, which also offers nothing.
- Reza Zuhro: nominated at AfD; notified Chrissteel34 (talk · contribs) 23:05, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: We must note that WP:SPORTBASIC requires that [sports] biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. This was not met so User:Onel5969 correctly moved the article to Draft:Reza Zuhro. This was then copied and pasted back into mainspace with no improvements. I have done a comprehensive WP:BEFORE. All of the 10 hits in Google News are just squad list mentions or passing mentions in a match report. Nothing good in an Indonesian source search either. Denpasar Update looks like a decent source but it's actually referenced to his club's Instagram page so does not count as an independent source. Fails WP:GNG and possible WP:TOOSOON; I would recommend deleting the mainspace article but retaining the draft.
- Miguel Assunção: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 13:08, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There is some coverage of this bit-part semi-pro goalkeeper but it's not enough for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Even a Portuguese search failed to yield the coverage needed. There is a Blogspot Q&A but this doesn't meet the requirements at WP:RS. Best sources in my searches were Reconquista, a basic transfer announcement, Mediotejo, a series of match report mentions, and a brief quote in Zero Zero.
- Signe J. Pedersen: nominated at AfD; notified Geschichte (talk · contribs) 17:43, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence that Pedersen meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches, including ones containing clubs that she played for like this one, did not yield any coverage other than Wikipedia mirror sites. Please note that WP:NFOOTBALL no longer exists although, to be fair, I'm not sure if Pedersen would have met that guideline anyway.
January 2023
[edit]- Aji Joko Sutopo: nominated at AfD; notified Chrissteel34 (talk · contribs) 11:27, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I appreciate that this footballer is still quite young, but he doesn't seem to be notable just yet. I have done an extensive WP:BEFORE, which includes an Indonesian source search. Almost all of these hits were mere mentions in a squad list or database profile pages. Likewise, the Google News results only bring up trivial mentions of Aji. The best source was Indosport, which confirms that he is a centre back and has signed a one-year contract but contains nothing else really. I could not find any indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met. The latter guideline asks for at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources but I cannot see any way in which this person could have such an article at this time. Please note that playing in an WP:FPL is no longer enough per WP:NSPORTS2022.
- Zayar Naing: nominated at AfD; notified Modernrocker4 (talk · contribs) 12:41, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of notability. Google News in English yields only trivial mentions in youth squad lists. Nothing found when searching through Burmese. Through other Burmese searches, I was able to find The MNL, which is not independent of the subject and only a passing mention. The only other source that I can find is News Eleven, which says that he has a knee injury and will be out for 8 months. I'm not seeing the level of depth for WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG.
- Yan Pai Soe: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 12:48, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. Searching in Burmese only seems to yield coverage of similarly-named people such as Yan Paing. Searching the English version of his name only yields databases like Transfermarkt, Wikipedia mirror sites and social media. This article needs to be deleted unless anyone can present clear evidence of significant coverage to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Zannetos Koumasis: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 13:06, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who had brief glimpses of a professional career but has spent the majority of his career to date in the lower tiers of Cypriot football. I was surprised to find some coverage of him but, upon further analysis, none of it seems to actually meet requirements. See WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.Google News has zero hits, which is a bad sign. I found a passing mention in Kerkida (translated) and also some coverage in 24sports and Sport FM. Both of these articles are copied and pasted from a press release from the club that Koumasis has signed for, so cannot possibly count towards notability. SPORTBASIC says [sources] that are pure derivatives of an original source can be used as references, but do not contribute toward establishing the notability of a subject. Famagusta News talks about a Motocross president of the same name but there is no evidence to suggest that these two people are the same. The footballing Koumasis would have been 25 when this article was written and was still playing in the lower tiers of the Cyprus football league system. This 'Zannetos Koumasi' is clearly a different person altogether.
- A62 derby: nominated at AfD; notified DShamen (talk · contribs) 13:52, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was 'no consensus' last time largely because it was bundled with a lot of other rivalry articles, some of which were clearly notable. I still have serious doubts about the notability of this rivalry and whether it actually warrants a stand-alone article. I appreciate that it gets a mention in a Sky Sports quiz. I see it mentioned in IDN Times too but that could well be derived from the Wikipedia article. Searching the alternative name "Roses derby" only comes up with coverage relating to Leeds United F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry. Searches in Google Books and the BNA yielded nothing useful.
- Hamed Aghazadeh: nominated at AfD; notified Hamed Aghazadeh (talk · contribs) 16:21, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY on a research assistant that does not seem to meet WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG based on evidence presented. Possible WP:TOOSOON. If he is genuinely notable, it would be better for someone other than the subject to write the Wikipedia article.
- Abhineet Maini: nominated at AfD; notified Neiltyson12 (talk · contribs) 09:23, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously rejected at AfC, now copied and pasted to mainspace by the same user. Article claims that he was elected to National Academy of Sciences, India, which would be an automatic pass of WP:NACADEMIC, but I can't find any reliable sources for this. I don't see how he meets any of the other criteria for inclusion. Article is cited entirely to his own work or to puff pieces on unreliable websites like Medium, where content creators can upload their own articles without anyone doing any fact checking. Source analysis to follow.
- Saneliso Dlamini: nominated at AfD; notified Ivan Milenin (talk · contribs) 21:47, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD from User:Jogurney states Article about footballer which fails WP:SPORTBASIC. Following searches, this would appear to be valid. User:Das osmnezz's comment of International capped player with ongogn career does not have any relevance to SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. The former clearly wants us to have an article that must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.Best sources I can find are PM News and The News, both of which have the exact same text copied over. Even more importantly, both are textbook examples of trivial mentions and fit the example of this found at GNG perfectly.
- Khejarla Toll Plaza: nominated at AfD; notified Mannuseemu (talk · contribs) 19:31, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: My PROD rationale was Cannot find any examples of significant, detailed coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.. Essentially, the topic looks like it fails WP:GNG. Contested by article creator on my user talk with comment Reliable sources has been added to this article. Kindly remove template proposed deletion. This is false as no sources have been added since the PROD.Full source analysis to follow. In terms of WP:ATD, I don't see any suitable options and I have serious concerns about the sourcing to the extent where I would prefer outright deletion to retaining any of the current content.
- Abduraheem Al-Debbas: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 12:16, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 29 mins of professional football before moving down to the semi-pro leagues. I am unable to find any substantial coverage so struggling to see how this passes WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. In Arabic searches, the best sources I can find are Alyaum, a brief quote from him before a match with no third-party analysis, El Heddaf, a contract renewal announcement and Hasa News, a match report that mentions him once in the article as a goalscorer and once in the article title.
- Yahya Dhabiani: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 12:21, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. Zero evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC despite briefly playing at the professional level. Best source I can find is FilGoal, which is clearly a database source and therefore not acceptable for SPORTBASIC. Only other source I can find is Al-Hazm's Twitter, which is not reliable or independent.
- Theodoros Katsiaris: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 12:43, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches in Google News and DDG came back fruitless. 24 sports is just a basic contract renewal announcement, most of which is copied from his club's press release, so is not WP:IS. Sport FM is just a quote from him, with no analysis from third parties. He is mentioned once in passing in Sportime regarding yellow cards received.
- Jackson Khoury: nominated at AfD; notified JC Kotisow (talk · contribs) 10:27, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined 3 times in draft space then moved over to mainspace with no improvement. Subject is a semi-pro footballer with no significant coverage cited. The 2nd reference is archived here but only mentions the subject twice and it's only a basic match report. Only other sources that I can find in my WP:BEFORE search are database sites like Soccer Punter. Footballers need to meet WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG and Khoury demonstrates neither as he only has database coverage and trivial mentions. He wouldn't have met the old notability standards based on professional play either.
- 2023 APIA Leichhardt FC season: nominated at AfD; notified JC Kotisow (talk · contribs) 10:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined at Draft:2023 APIA Leichhardt FC season but then copied and pasted over to mainspace anyway. There is no presumption of notability for this season as it does not meet WP:NSEASONS. In theory, such a season could pass WP:GNG but, given that the season doesn't start until next month, it would be WP:CRYSTAL to presume that it would be notable at this moment. Looking in news articles, I can see some passing mentions of APIA Leichhardt but nothing to substantiate a stand-alone article. If anything newsworthy happens in this coming season, it should be written in the APIA Leichhardt FC article. I see no reason for a separate article for the season.
- Zin Phyo Aung: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 12:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything better than just a trivial mention so doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC despite having some involvement with the national team. No hits in Burmese in Google News and the English results show only trivial mentions. Three sources are currently cited, one of which is Facebook. The other two sources are a very brief injury announcement and the other is a one-sentence squad announcement. More recently, [https://www.myanmardigitalnewspaper.com/my/mnmaalkrecngasng-luucaarngthuttpn-0 Myanmar Digital Newspaper mentions him once and Duwun says he was removed from his club's squad for 'breaking the rules' but doesn't elaborate on that at all.
- Yevgeny Fomin: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 12:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer had very brief professional career but has spent most of his career as a semi-pro with seemingly little coverage. The Belarusian Wikipedia article has some sources but they fail to show WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Pressball is a trivial mention in a quote from his coach. Football 1 is a brief transfer announcement, which appears to be sourced to his club's website. In any case, the coverage is too weak for GNG. Football 2 is sourced to Twitter and is only routine sports coverage. In my own searches in Russian and Belarusian, all I can find is Sportnaviny, another very brief transfer announcement, and some Wikipedia mirrors.
- Fahad Abdullah: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 16:43, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing one minute or so of professional league football, doesn't seem to be notable per WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. The former guideline asks for at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources, which we do not have here. We don't even have clear confirmation of his date of birth or position. The only source I can find in Arabic searches about a footballer called 'Fahad/Fahd Abdullah' is Kooora, which has very low standards for inclusion and does not confer notability. Oppose merge/redirect due to how common his name is in the Arabic-speaking world and due to lack of an obvious target.
- Wasan Samarnsin: nominated at AfD; notified Siamfootball (talk · contribs) 19:32, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created after playing 9 mins of professional football 7 years ago. Searches in Thai yielded a reasonable number of hits but nothing that seems to demonstrate WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. The best ones that I could find were Thsport, a basic transfer announcement, Ballthai, which is mainly copied from a fan site and Samarnsin's Facebook page, and Ballthai 2, which confirms that he was man of the match in a semi-pro third tier game. This is not a notable enough achievement for a stand-alone article.
- Károly Bogyó: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 20:50, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a semi-pro footballer/futsal player with nothing to contribute to WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. A Hungarian source search yielded some sources which I will analyse. ZAOL mentions him once in the main text, confirming that he is the top scorer of the Western Division of the second tier of Hungarian futsal. Not much of a claim to notability there. Kanizsa Újság is a local Nagykanizsa-based paper which mentions Bogyó a few times in the match report. Zala County's Zala Sport also has some match report coverage of amateur futsal that mentions him a few times. I can't find anything better than these match reports so there is no reasonable opportunity to build a biography for Bogyó.
- András Burics: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 20:59, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Based on Google News and DDG, looks to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC comprehensively. Best sources are HAON, which confirms that he is a defensive midfielder and that he is going on a loan, Nemzeti Sport, which is just a list of transfers/loans, and Rangadó 24, which mentions him twice in passing, regarding being released from a club - Kazincbarcikai SC.
- Iestyn Evans: nominated at AfD; notified Zebroski (talk · contribs) 12:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC due to lack of detailed coverage from independent sources. In my searches, the best that I can find is South Wales Argus, which mentions him only once. This club website mentions him being sent off in a match but this is routine game coverage and SPORTBASIC states team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject. I found plenty of hits on ProQuest but none seem to be relevant.
- Khaled Al-Muqaitib: nominated at AfD; notified Tash-natasha (talk · contribs) 15:24, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no acceptable sources. Best sources I can find are Ar Riyadiyah, which mentions him once, Time Kora, which looks like a blog, contains no in-depth coverage and is referenced to a Twitter page, Al Fiha, which is a basic transfer announcement that merely states his year of birth, position and length of contract and Al-Jazirah, which has only one sentence about him, confirming that he has signed a three-year contract. None of the above meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.Furthermore, the article was created by a block-evading sock and has been edited by two more confirmed socks in Lilianasri and Gulfup. Some IP edits mean that this is ineligible for WP:G5 but the socking is still worth mentioning.
- Robert Molnar: nominated at AfD; notified Noel baran (talk · contribs) 19:26, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything towards WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG, his one game in an WP:FPL is no longer relevant. Best I can find is a passing mention in Nemzeti Sport, also derived from a Facebook post, Sport 24, which mentions him only once, and Sport.ua, which mentions him being a defender and having played 17 youth matches. Sport.ua is the best source but it's not good enough for SPORTBASIC.
- Cristian Gonzalez (soccer): nominated at AfD; notified JC Kotisow (talk · contribs) 21:20, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro that does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The spotlight on reference is not independent as it's published by the club that he plays for. The best sources that I found were The West, Sydney Morning Herald and My Football, all of which only mention Gonzalez once.
- Armando Bashhysa: nominated at AfD; notified Sadsadas (talk · contribs) 12:08, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: As playing in an WP:FPL is no longer relevant in terms of notability, I can't see a reason to keep this article. Fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. No hits in Google News or ProQuest. A search in DDG yields only database sites and Wikipedia mirrors.
- Luke Oresti: nominated at AfD; notified Nzs9 (talk · contribs) 10:23, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Word-for-word copy & paste from Draft:Luke Oresti after an initial move was reverted by User:Simione001. Worth noting that the article was draftified following clear consensus at the previous Oresti AfD. All participants agreed that the subject was a WP:TOOSOON case. This still applies, in my view. Best source I can find is being listed as an unused sub in The Football Sack.I've done a WP:BEFORE search and can't find any coverage of him from independent sources since the previous discussion, therefore I suggest deleting the mainspace copy and retaining the draftspace version, which contains all of the article history.
- Memiš Limani: nominated at AfD; notified Lice sa oziljkom (talk · contribs) 16:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant coverage at all. I have tried using Serbian Cyrillic ("Мемиш Лимани") but had no luck there either. Subject needs to meet WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG to have an article but I can't find any evidence of either. I have searched Google Images, Google Books, Google, ProQuest or DDG. This DDG search only comes up with sources directly derived from this Wikipedia article, even the YouTube video is a Wikipedia mirror!
- Template:FK Daugava Daugavpils squad: nominated at TfD; notified LatvianFootball (talk · contribs) 16:30, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Per User:Snowflake91's comment on 8 January 2023, this club was dissolved in 2015. It, therefore, has no 'current squad'.
- Soe Lwin Lwin (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 18:49, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG require multiple reliable sources showing detailed coverage. Out of the two references in the article, I am unable to access the first one as my PC says that it's a dangerous and possibly malicious website and the second reference is a trivial mention. I have searched in Burmese and English and found plenty on Soe Lwin Lwin but nothing really regarding the apparently non-notable footballer of this name. Best sources were NLD and Eleven, both of which only mentioned Soe Lwin Lwin once in the entire article.
- Win Zin Oo: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 18:28, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was kept previously because of the now-deprecated WP:NFOOTBALL which was linked to WP:FPL. There was nobody within that discussion that argued that Win passes WP:GNG or what is now WP:SPORTBASIC. Given the changes that have occurred since, I think it's reasonable to have a 2nd AfD. Out of the 4 references currently used, only one of them is independent, a Myanmar Times article in which he is mentioned once in the caption. I have done some searches in Burmese but found nothing better than Mizzima, which is a brief quote, MPT, a passing mention regarding a suspension and MM Load, which mentions him once in the text, in a list of injured players.
- Naqa Al-Boqami: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 18:51, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP; I can't find anything better than some YouTube videos showing post-match interviews or passing mentions in WP:RS rather than WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC-quality coverage. Al Khafji mentions him once. Wasel is also a trivial mention. Al Jazirah is the best source but still only mentions him once although it does at least state some facts including the fact that he only started one match and only lasted for one season in the professional league. If this article is to be believed, he spent the rest of his career at a very, very low level of football, including the fifth tier Saudi Fourth Division. I can't see any reason to keep.
- Aung Hlaing Win: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 19:20, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP on a footballer with no significant coverage cited. Best I can find is Myanmar Digital Newspaper, which is not even close to enough to meet WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Laura Stockdale: nominated at AfD; notified SuperJew (talk · contribs) 21:51, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the 3 references show significant coverage nor do they indicate notability in any other way. In my searches, the best I could find were Daily Telegraph, an image caption mention, Football SA, a squad list, TWG, which mentions her only once, and The Equalizer, which is a passing mention in a match report. I can't find any indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Happy to withdraw if someone can bring forth multiple WP:RS showing detailed coverage of Stockdale.
- Ardit Gega: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 22:07, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC; can't find any coverage other than Soccerway, Transfermarkt, Sofascore etc.
- Vladimir Advigov: nominated at AfD; notified Lotom (talk · contribs) 19:26, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything outside of database websites or Wikipedia mirrors, no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC in my searches using his Serbian Cyrillic name.
- Sergios Hadjidemetriou: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 19:25, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer who briefly played as a professional but has spent the bulk of his career in the semi-pro/amateur levels of Cyprus, with no non-stats database coverage cited. To meet WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG, we require significant coverage. Google News came back with one hit, a trivial match report mention. Sigma Live mentions him once in a list of under-19 call ups, trivial youth coverage. Phile News mentions him only once, saying he "only played a few minutes". Lastly, Kerkida (translated) is a one-sentence transfer announcement. I can't find any Greek-language or English-language coverage that actually satisfies the guidelines.
- Abdullah Aiesh: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 19:31, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG require multiple WP:RS showing significant coverage. I am unable to locate even one. Aside from the Soccerway source, my Arabic searches yield FilGoal and nothing better. SPORTBASIC explicitly says that database sources are not sufficient so, unless these can be located, the article should be deleted.
- Abdulaziz Al-Dhefiri: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 19:39, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP with no indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches in Arabic ("عبد العزيز الظفيري") yield no apparent significant coverage of the Saudi footballer of this name. The best sources I could find were Kooora, a database source which SPORTBASIC would not regard as sufficient, and Aawsat, which mentions Al-Dhefiri only once. There is a Kuwaiti handball player with the same name who, as far as I can tell, is a completely different person.
- Rabii Ben Hassine: nominated at AfD; notified Hans Footballscout2023 (talk · contribs) 20:48, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article with no WP:RS moved over from draftspace prematurely. Can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Google News had no relevant Arabic hits. Best sources that I could find were FilGoal and Time Kora, both stats databases. According to the one reference this article has, Ben Hassine played 3 Tunisian games then disappeared so I'm not surprised that there's no in-depth coverage.
- Wael Romdhane: nominated at AfD; notified Hans Footballscout2023 (talk · contribs) 21:00, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Former footballer and now businessperson that does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches in Arabic using the name from his Instagram account ("وائل رمضان") only seem to yield sources about the Syrian actor with the same name. According to Football Database and Playmaker Stats, he never played a game and the Transfermarkt source cited only has U21 Dutch appearances. The only info I can find on him is on his own website, which is obviously not an independent source. The Nessma source cited looks like a blog and is only a basic transfer announcement, stating nothing more than the clubs involved in the transfer, that he is of Tunisian descent and that he is a left-back. Not enough to pass GNG on its own.
February 2023
[edit]- Cameron Windust: nominated at AfD; notified Simione001 (talk · contribs) 10:02, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Neither of the two references demonstrate significant coverage per WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Would have passed WP:NFOOTBALL prior to 2022 but that and WP:FPL are no longer relevant so articles must contain significant coverage. Best sources found in WP:BEFORE were The Inner Sanctum, I'm not sure if this is WP:RS or not and he is only mentioned twice in passing, Football NSW, which mentions him in passing as a goalscorer, and The Football Sack, which mentions him once, saying that he made his debut. None of the above sources contain any detailed coverage of Windust. An Australian search only yielded the usual database sites which are not acceptable for SPORTBASIC. Perhaps draft space can be considered if there is a super high chance of future notability? I would have moved this over myself but the article is over a year old so cannot be moved over except as a result of an AfD.
- João Beirão: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 10:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Given a reasonably lengthy semi-pro career on Soccerway, I thought that there would be some chance of finding something on him but, alas, I failed to find anything decent. Searches, including a Portuguese search, yielded plenty about Luaty Beirão, an Angolan rapper, but next to nothing about this footballer. The only source that wasn't a database site that I could find was Record, which is a transfer rumour. On its own, not enough for WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG, which require multiple sources.
- Paulo Bessa: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 10:44, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The Portuguese footballer of this name played 4 times in the second tier of Portugal then disappeared. A Portuguese search as well as other searches yielded nothing of note. I did find a few articles about the Brazilian footballer of this name - see Soccerway, Portal Cambé and Globo but he seems barely notable either. Certainly for the Portuguese footballer, I could find nothing towards WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG despite the brief pro career.
- Karuchola Vijay Kumar: nominated at AfD; notified Kalapala0 (talk · contribs) 11:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Completing as per request of IP editor Fails WP:NPOL, bouncing back and forth to draft. Needs an AFD. I note that the sources used seem to be about someone called 'Maddula Radha Krishna' so we might be looking at a hoax here.
- Mateos Cake: nominated at AfD; notified Tirona bbbbb (talk · contribs) 11:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite the article being lengthy and containing 10 references, none of them contain any significant coverage and so there is no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches found nothing and I tried "Mateo Cake" as an alternative too. Source analysis to follow.
- Andrés Camilo Mosquera Hoyos: nominated at AfD; notified Hans Footballscout2023 (talk · contribs) 16:39, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything to satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC, noting that the guideline explicitly states that such articles must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. My searches yielded no such coverage. I tried multiple variations of his name but only got significant coverage about other players with a similar name, such as Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo. Best sources I could find were FCF and El Universal, both trivial mentions.
- Hamed Mirani: nominated at AfD; notified Hojjathassanpourvip (talk · contribs) 08:57, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. References fail verification and are all fraudulent copyright violations.
- Hamed Shirbeygi: nominated at AfD; notified Hojjathassanpourvip (talk · contribs) 15:10, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Sources are all non WP:RS.
- Babu Umanath Singh: nominated at AfD; notified DrhSR (talk · contribs) 18:34, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. Previously deleted at Umanath Singh and this is now the 2nd AfD under this title. Article creator contested the WP:G4 speedy delete.The only source on him is Indian Rajputs, which states that he was born, went to university, got married and then later died. No indication of notability. I've searched Google Books and ProQuest and can't find anything.
- Kristiyan Parashkevov: nominated at AfD; notified Yavorescu (talk · contribs) 19:44, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything towards WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I searched in Google News and did a Bulgarian source search too. [Cherno More] is a match report mention, stating that he scored from a free kick and nothing more. [Sportal] has a very brief transfer announcement. Varna24 mentions him getting an assist and Dsport mentions him as one of 3 players getting released. All of this is trivial coverage.
- Farihin Farkhan: nominated at AfD; notified CPTan4 (talk · contribs) 19:49, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. A Singaporean source search yielded only weak coverage like Straits Times 1, Straits Times 2 and Yahoo. I can't find anything even close to detailed coverage that we can build a meaningful biography from despite playing 8 matches.
- Dani Calautti: nominated at AfD; notified Hack (talk · contribs) 21:51, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any substantial coverage in WP:RS independent of the subject. She has played in at least two different football codes but I can't find anything other than passing mentions, Wikipedia mirrors or database sites, even when searching Australian sources. I have also searched under 'Danielle Calautti' and found nothing better than the non-independent sources already cited. Best sources I can find are VAFA, a trivial mention, Ozfootball, a squad list mention, and Comment News, which mentions her twice and calls her a standout player. We would need at least a couple of articles to go into significant depth about her as an individual to pass WP:SPORTBASIC. Given that this does not appear to be the case from the above, AfD seems reasonable.
- Csaba Gelbmann: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 11:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing why Gelbmann needs an article here. According to Magyar Futball, we could expand the stats a little bit as he played for a few clubs. In terms of actual WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, however, I could find nothing decent. Nemzeti Sport is a trivial mention only and I can find nothing about him in other articles by that newspaper. 24 and OEFB confirm that he had a career in the amateur 4th tier of Austria as well but I can't see that this led to any news coverage.
- Shathiya Kandasamy: nominated at AfD; notified Sixday7 (talk · contribs) 12:08, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite his 2 games at the professional level in Malaysia, I'm not seeing any significant, detailed coverage. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. A Malaysian search yielded the usual databases like Transfermarkt and ESPN. My other searches yielded nothing better than a trivial mention in Sinar Harian and an image caption in Berita Harian.
- National Public School, Hosur Road: nominated at AfD; notified SRGRP (talk · contribs) 12:39, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: A very similar article already exists in draftspace at Draft:National Public School so no need to send this to draft as well. I am not seeing any evidence of WP:NORG being met. The only sources I can find are database profile pages like Bangalore Education, which falls short on WP:ORGDEPTH. Other sources like the school's own YouTube channel, own website and other social media accounts fail WP:ORGIND.
- Amirul Ikmal Hafiz: nominated at AfD; notified RPSwp (talk · contribs) 12:49, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Kept previously due to playing some WP:FPL games. Nobody in the previous discussion said that they thought Amirul met WP:GNG. The sources in the article are either databases or trivial mentions so do not help towards WP:SPORTBASIC. In all of my searches, I could only find a match report mention in ESPN and one single mention in an article in NST.
- Afiq Razali: nominated at AfD; notified Sixday7 (talk · contribs) 13:33, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find evidence of any coverage towards WP:SPORTBASIC. He scored one goal as a professional, which I found mentions of in Sportimes and The Star but neither article contains detailed coverage of Afiq. Subsequently, he played at the amateur levels and I can't see any decent coverage of him since dropping to that level.
- National Public School, Chikkabanavara: nominated at AfD; notified Nairpp (talk · contribs) 16:17, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can only find basic, generic profiles like Education Today and Edu India News, which every school in India will have. This organisation does not have any WP:ORGDEPTH-level coverage and so looks to fail WP:NORG. I can't find any detailed coverage in reputable journalistic sources.
- Carmel High School, Basaveshwaranagar, Bangalore: nominated at AfD; notified Vivekrs (talk · contribs) 19:08, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Serkan Demirel: nominated at AfD; notified Gokhantig (talk · contribs) 17:14, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything notable about this futsal player. Best source would appear to be NOZ, which is an image caption only. He is not to be confused with Mustafa Serkan Demirel, a semi-pro Turkish footballer who has spent his career in the 3rd to 5th tiers of Turkish football. Coverage like Yalova and Fanatik relates to the Turkish footballer not the Turkish-Dutch futsal player subject to deletion. The article should be deleted due to concerns around WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Babu Shiv Bahadur Singh: nominated at AfD; notified DrhSR (talk · contribs) 19:06, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I basically want to echo what User:Velella said in the previous AfD, which resulted in soft deletion. There is no improvement in this article and a WP:BEFORE yields nothing useful. Nothing in Google Books or ProQuest. Coverage in Indian Rajputs is insufficient on its own.
- 2010 Kataller Toyama season: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 20:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything to suggest that this was a notable season worthy of a stand-alone article and Japanese Wikipedia is of little use here. If something notable did happen this season, I'm a strong believer that this would be better placed at Kataller Toyama and 2010 J.League Division 2, both of which could do with more prose content anyway. I can't see enough for WP:GNG and the article is currently an article for the sake of having an article.
- Mojahed Abdullah: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 19:33, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything to satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC, noting that the guideline explicitly states that such articles must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. My Arabic searches yielded no such coverage. Best source I can find is FilGoal and a YouTube video, neither of which can be considered as detailed enough coverage to warrant a biography article in an encyclopaedia.
- Adamos Chatzigeorgiou: nominated at AfD; notified Anonole (talk · contribs) 18:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of passing WP:SPORTBASIC has been presented and nothing found in searches in Greek. Google News has 2 hits, both of which are trivial mentions in lists of footballers in Kerkida. Please note that I am rejecting any coverage from Anorthosis24, or other Anorthosis fan sites, as SPORTBASIC says that [fan] sites and blogs are generally not regarded as reliable sources. With this in mind, the best sources that I can find are Sigma Live, which mentions him twice, and Kerkida, a basic contract announcement.
- Konstantinos Kyriakou: nominated at AfD; notified Zecke1910 (talk · contribs) 19:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 2 games of football eight years ago but has done nothing at the professional level since. My searches failed to establish WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find are 24sports, Lemesos in Sports and Phile News, all of which are transfer/loan announcements with very little detail and nothing that can be used to expand this beyond the stats stub that it currently is.
- Fatima Nursery, Primary and High School: nominated at AfD; notified Sonu2242 (talk · contribs) 22:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything even close to showing a passing of WP:NORG for this school. The best I can find are generic database profile pages like Creta Class and India Study Channel. I can't find any detailed coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent.
- Loyola Yomiuri School, Bijapur: nominated at AfD; notified Jzsj (talk · contribs) 23:07, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find even one source that would meet WP:NORG requirements let alone the multiple needed. Appears to be a non-notable private school with no independent media coverage. I'm not even sure if the coverage is enough to warrant a redirect to List of Jesuit educational institutions or List of schools in India#Karnataka or any other possible target. For me, this looks like a clear deletion candidate.
- Adli Shinichi: nominated at AfD; notified Born2BeeStudios (talk · contribs) 12:22, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: As far as I can tell, has only had minor roles in mostly non-notable productions. Can't see how he passes WP:NACTOR. Copied over from the repeatedly-declined Draft:Adli Shinichi, with the only difference being the removal of the WP:UPE tag. Only bit of coverage in WP:RS I can find is baskl.com.my but this is a trivial mention in a cast list.
- Devamala (Shunga dynasty): nominated at AfD; notified Gomati Sharma (talk · contribs) 16:26, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sent to Draft:Devamala (Shunga dynasty) as the article is unsourced and this was contested by the creator who copied and pasted it back to mainspace with no improvements whatsoever. The article has been copied over entirely from Bharatpedia, an unreliable source that anyone can edit. I note that the IP that has edited the Bharatpedia article is the same one that has added content about Devamala to Agnimitra and tried to add the same unsourced info to Pushyamitra Shunga. See also Simple English AfD where multiple editors in good standing have attempted to find sources to no avail.
- Bhanumati (Kushana Empress): nominated at AfD; notified Gomati Sharma (talk · contribs) 18:01, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article fails WP:V as admitted by the creator when writing the article The mentions about Bhanumati are unnamed in History but little mentions about Queen Bhanumati. So, essentially this is an admission that sources do not exist, therefore, we cannot have this article on Wikipedia. The article is copied and pasted without attribution from Bharatpedia, a user-generated Wiki. This is not acceptable as we can only write articles about topics based in WP:RS, otherwise we leave ourselves open to hoaxes and WP:OR.
- Nurshafiq Zaini: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 20:46, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Former footballer, no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC. The only coverage that's even close to decent that I can find is his retirement announcement on the Singapore FA's website. Straits Times has a passing mention and Bola has a match report which mentions him thrice. No significant coverage located.
- Kimveka (Mahabharata): nominated at AfD; notified Gomati Sharma (talk · contribs) 09:57, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article admits to being unverifiable and failing WP:V when it says According to legend, of Ved Vyasa, she is mentioned unnamed in some of the epics of Mahabharata. If she is unnamed I don't see any reason why we are then giving her a name... If we don't know the answer, it's never appropriate to just make the answer up.Further issue is that the article has been copied and pasted completely from Bharatpedia, which is user-generated and unreliable. The only mention I can find of Kimveka is Bhagavan Bhakthi but this source considers itself to be a personal blog and is therefore unreliable per WP:BLOG.
- I Putu Dian Ananta: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 10:36, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Searches, including an Indonesian source search, did not yield any coverage towards WP:SPORTBASIC. Article is currently a stats stub with no assertion of notability. Best sources that I could find were Bolasport, Bali Post and Liputan6, all of which were trivial mentions and contained no detail about this footballer that we could build a meaningful biography from.
- Gustav Ainaga: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 11:02, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing his part in 4 games of football ten years ago, I can't find any evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC. I did an Indonesian source search but it only yielded stats database sites and Wikipedia mirrors. I used alternative spellings in line with Liga Indonesia but still couldn't find the multiple sources showing significant coverage that would be required.
- Abdullah Al-Bishi (footballer, born 1996): nominated at AfD; notified Tash-natasha (talk · contribs) 11:45, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Apparently non-notable footballer created by a block-evading sock. In my Arabic searches, I can only get trivial coverage for the goalkeeper of this name, Abdullah Yahya Al-Bishi, who had an article at Abdullah Al-Bishi (footballer, born 2001) (deleted here). Nothing is coming up for this defender, which is hardly surprising given that the article claims that he is plying his trade in the Saudi Second Division, the third tier. The sources in the article are insufficient since they are all database sites or social media with the exception of Dawri Plus, which lacks the depth to truly count towards WP:SPORTBASIC.
- NNDN: nominated at AfD; notified Nandanvinayan2555 (talk · contribs) 12:33, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Only self-published content available; fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG.
- John Grabova: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 19:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing in more than a handful of professional games, I was unable to locate any significant coverage. No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG based on what I was able to find. My searches only brought up database sites like Football Database and BeSoccer, which do not confer notability.
- Aldo Duro (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 19:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Aldo Duro (linguist) is notable but I can't find anything about the footballer of this name. I have searched Google News, ProQuest, Google Images and DDG but not found any decent coverage. There is database coverage in places like Transfermarkt and Football Database but this is totally insufficient for WP:SPORTBASIC. If this is deleted, the linguist should be moved to Aldo Duro over the dab page.
- Ali Al-Ameri: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 18:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Could not find any detailed coverage that would qualify for WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. Please bear in mind, when searching, that there are plenty of namesakes as this is a very common Arabic name. Emaratalyoum is about Ali Al-Amri (footballer), so needs to be ignored. Rimessa is about a Tunisian footballer of this name so also needs to be ignored. Akhbaar24 mentions him and simply says he renewed his contract with Al-Adalah. The coverage is so weak that it doesn't even say how long it has been renewed for! It's not even close to the depth that we need.
- Pailan World School: nominated at AfD; notified Titodutta (talk · contribs) 12:38, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Holy Child English School (Jamugurihat): nominated at AfD; notified Rising8976 (talk · contribs) 13:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Private school with no indication of notability. Best sources I can find are trivial mentions in Sentinel Assam and News18. This is far from meeting WP:NORG; see WP:SIRS.
- Holy Cross English High School (Aurangabad): nominated at AfD; notified Jobin RV (talk · contribs) 13:20, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: All I can find are database entries like Just Dial and India Study Channel. I could find no WP:ORGDEPTH coverage for this school so can't see a passing of WP:GNG or WP:NORG.
- Jean Wilson Aleng: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 17:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. An Indonesian source search has been done under the Aleng spelling and Along spelling, both of which only yielded database coverage and Wikipedia mirrors. I found a Republika mention but it's literally just that - a passing mention.
- Davide Bessa: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 18:03, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unable to find multiple instances of significant coverage, no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. He is mentioned twice in Digital de Vizela and once in a squad list in Mais Futebol. No evidence of notability.
- Abdulrahman Battawi: nominated at AfD; notified Momofeee (talk · contribs) 18:24, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only Arabic sources I can find are ones like FilGoal and Time Kora, which clearly don't establish notability. Badly sourced BLP with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Ljubo Andrijašević: nominated at AfD; notified Lotom (talk · contribs) 20:19, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I did find ICO, a hyper-local source - a radio station serving a town of about 8000 people - which mentions him a few times. It's not enough for SPORTBASIC/GNG on its own and both guidelines require multiple WP:RS showing significant coverage in any case. Nothing found in Serbian Cyrillic.
- Melaghar Class XII School: nominated at AfD; notified Sumansaha123 (talk · contribs) 20:55, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing enough to pass WP:NORG. I found mentions in East Mojo and Careers 360 but no WP:SIRS.
- Government Degree College, Amarpur: nominated at AfD; notified Soumitrahazra (talk · contribs) 12:17, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Institution with no evidence of WP:NORG being met. Best sources I can find are iCBSE and Entrance Exams India, neither are even close to WP:SIRS. I considered redirecting but there are so many targets such as Tripura University, Amarpur, Tripura and List of institutions of higher education in Tripura, all equally as valid as each other so I didn't consider redirecting to be an appropriate action.
- Kim Min-gyu (footballer, born 1999): nominated at AfD; notified Erling97 (talk · contribs) 19:40, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG found for this footballer. The article's current references are a database page and a trivial mention in The Star, which is hardly a claim to notability. The Korean Wikipedia article is unsourced. I have used the Korean name for searching in conjunction with his previous clubs but found nothing of note. All I can find is plenty of coverage about Kim Min-kyu (actor) and Kim Min-kyu (entertainer) but nothing about this footballer. Please also don't confuse him with any of the other several footballers at Kim Min-kyu. Malaysian searches were a little better but still don't show notability. Majoriti is a trivial mention and so is Makanbola.
- Putra Aprilianto: nominated at AfD; notified Arif soul (talk · contribs) 17:48, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable footballer who played 15 minutes of football then disappeared. Searches including an Indonesian source search did not yield significant coverage. I have dismissed Tribun News Wiki as a source because it openly admits to using Transfermarkt and Mitra Kukar's own website as sources, so is not reliable. Aside from that, we have only squad list mentions such as Bola and Tribun News. Even if Tribun News Wiki were somehow acceptable, this still wouldn't meet the threshold for multiple sources, as required by WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Katharina Griessemer: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 18:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Even in a German source search, I was unable to locate significant coverage of Grießemer for WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Best sources are Meier, which mentions her twice in a match report, Nord Bayern, also mentions her twice outside of the squad list, and a single passing mention in Donaukurier. I also checked ProQuest but the coverage was only trivial mentions in under-19 reports.
- Vassilis Chatzigiannakou: nominated at AfD; notified Yiamaco (talk · contribs) 18:36, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find the multiple examples of significant, detailed coverage for WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is Phile News, which contains one sentence about him being injured, Sport FM, a contract renewal announcement with no independent content (copied from club website), and Kerkida (translated), a basic announcement of his release from AEK Larnaca.
- Vasily Antonenko: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 16:36, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 35 minutes of professional football then disappeared. I can't find anything that would satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. The former clearly states that [sports] biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.Best I can find is Kraj and Osipinfo, both just trivial mentions. He is also mentioned in a Livejournal fan blog that I found but this isn't WP:RS of course.
- Bharti International Convent School: nominated at AfD; notified S.satyaprakash (talk · contribs) 17:58, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Aysar Qasim Mohammed: nominated at AfD; notified Aryan.duhoki (talk · contribs) 16:35, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: For a footballer to be notable, they must meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The latter clearly states that [sports] biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. I have searched in Swedish and Arabic and not found any sources that meet requirements. Source analysis to follow.
- Majid Akbari: nominated at AfD; notified Alimomo001 (talk · contribs) 16:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything in Persian searches apart from the usual database sources. I have translated the only non-database source in the article here and it's only a trivial mention in a list of transferred players. There is no evidence that Akbari meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC so I can't see any alternative but to delete for a second time.
- Isabella Escobar: nominated at AfD; notified Jared Preston (talk · contribs) 18:39, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: According to ITF records, appears to be a junior player that never made it as a professional. I can't find any evidence of meeting WP:NTENNIS now that Fed Cup participation has been removed from that guideline. I'm also not seeing enough coverage for WP:SPORTBASIC. I found a passing mention in El Norte, another in US State News and, finally, another in Siglo Veintiuno.
- Amirul Shafik: nominated at AfD; notified Sixday7 (talk · contribs) 09:42, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article twice deleted and now salted under Amirul Syafik. There was clear consensus here and here. Having searched again, I still don't believe that Syafik/Shafik meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Of the 3 references used in this article, 2 don't even mention him and the other is a passing mention. The external link of Soccerway doesn't count towards SPORTBASIC, as it is a database source. Malaysian searches of "Amirul Shafik" and "Amirul Syafik" do not yield any decent coverage. Best sources are Malay Mail, Utusan and Kosmo, none of which address Amirul in any detail whatsoever so I am sending this to a third AfD.
- Franziska Hagemann: nominated at AfD; notified Hullu poro (talk · contribs) 10:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. Searches in ProQuest, DDG, Google News, Google Books and all-in.de all failed to yield significant coverage of a footballer of this name. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Happy to withdraw if anyone can provide clear evidence of SPORTBASIC.
- Panayiotis Constantinou: nominated at AfD; notified Anola77 (talk · contribs) 16:42, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a former footballer with no evidence towards WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources found in the Greek language were Phile News, a copy of a press release from his employer with no depth at all, and Kerkida (translated), a brief announcement about him being named in a squad.
- Collins Kimbowa: nominated at AfD; notified TimothyBhatia (talk · contribs) 13:07, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NRU and can't find evidence of WP:GNG when searching "Collins Kimbowa" and "Collin Kimbowa". The article has The Sports Nation as the only decent source but it's just a brief quote with no independent analysis. The source tells us nothing about Kimbowa so we can't build a decent biography.
- Pasquale Sbarra: nominated at AfD; notified Ugen64 (talk · contribs) 18:26, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously kept due to playing an Intertoto Cup game rather than anything to do with WP:GNG. I have searched ProQuest, DDG and Google News and not found the multiple good sources required for WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Fupa.net, which contains a paragraph about him, but it's not enough on its own.
- List of free-kick goals by Lionel Messi in official matches: nominated at AfD; notified PauloMSimoes (talk · contribs) 23:31, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm happy to be proved wrong here but I don't think scoring from a free-kick is as notable as scoring a senior international goal. Transfermarkt does list these goals but very few, if any, other sources do. Similar to this list and other AfDs relating to individual footballer achievements. He certainly scored a lot but he trails Juninho Pernambucano and many others according to sources so he hasn't broken a record here. The list itself violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE and the topic does not have enough coverage for WP:GNG or WP:NLIST.
- List of Fabloo bands: nominated at AfD; notified ThyOfThee (talk · contribs) 17:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced list for which I was unable to find any detailed coverage in WP:RS to support inclusion for any of the contents apart from Tally Hall, who coined the genre first. The only website coming back in my searches is Reddit, which is not an acceptable source. Not finding evidence for WP:GNG or WP:LISTN for this list, which seems to be WP:OR.
March 2023
[edit]- Pushpavati: nominated at AfD; notified Gomati Sharma (talk · contribs) 09:18, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Devamala (Shunga dynasty), Bhanumati (Kushana Empress) and Kimveka (Mahabharata) in that the content is copied at least partly from Bharatpedia. My searches are unable to establish WP:V let alone WP:GNG. Please note that this article did previously have one source but it was removed due to not supporting any content. I strongly oppose a redirect or merge to Harsha until a reliable source is presented to confirm that Pushpavati existed and was his wife.
- Tarinidevi: nominated at AfD; notified Gomati Sharma (talk · contribs) 09:34, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Devamala (Shunga dynasty), Bhanumati (Kushana Empress) and Kimveka (Mahabharata) in that there are no sources that support WP:V let alone WP:GNG. There are a lot of people called 'Tarinidevi' or 'Tarini Devi' in history but I can't find any that were the wife of Pulakeshin II. According to this edit, the article was on Bharatpedia but got removed by an admin. If this isn't acceptable enough for Bharatpedia's verifiability standards, I can't see why we should accept it.
- Shubhapradha (Rashtrakuta Queen): nominated at AfD; notified Gomati Sharma (talk · contribs) 09:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Devamala (Shunga dynasty), Bhanumati (Kushana Empress) and Kimveka (Mahabharata) in that there are no sources that support WP:V let alone WP:GNG. Copied and pasted from Bharatpedia, which is unreliable. Nothing in Google Books to verify the existence of this person.
- Jayalakshmidevi: nominated at AfD; notified Gomati Sharma (talk · contribs) 09:46, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- 2023 Myanmar National League squads: nominated at AfD; notified R3alPTg (talk · contribs) 20:50, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify. No evidence of any coverage from independent WP:RS, in fact the squad lists don't even look to pass WP:V, which is the absolute bare minimum for inclusion for anything on Wikipedia. We have never previously had articles on squad lists for league seasons, so, for example 2021–22 Premier League squads would never be a valid article. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the reason for this is because squads change throughout the season so there is never just the one consistent squad list like you would have for, say, an international cup tournament.In any case, without any reliable sources this article should not be in mainspace and it should not be merged into other mainspace articles either per WP:V and WP:NOR, which are Wikipedia policies.
- Hakola Umesh Chandra High School: nominated at AfD; notified Titodutta (talk · contribs) 12:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No WP:RS cited in the article and no indication of passing WP:NORG or WP:GNG. In my WP:BEFORE, I found nothing better than a Facebook page with 14 followers for the school, which is not a valid claim to notability, and then a bunch of user-generated database pages and Wikipedia mirrors. If anyone wishes for this article to be kept, please provide evidence of WP:SIRS to justify keeping this article.
- Goghat High School: nominated at AfD; notified Soumitrahazra (talk · contribs) 12:15, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced stub on a school with no evidence of meeting WP:NORG or WP:GNG. I found Aglasem, which mentions the school only once, trivial coverage, Education Bengal, which is a Wikipedia mirror so doesn't count either, and Edu Gorilla, an exhaustive listing for every school in India, whether notable or not. I could not find any independent coverage in news sources. If any WP:SIRS does exist, please provide evidence in this discussion.
- Büşra Taşkın: nominated at AfD; notified CeeGee (talk · contribs) 12:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Clear consensus to delete in 2021 due to failing WP:GNG and nothing has changed apart from a couple of transfers with little news coverage. Fails WP:SPORTBASIC as well. Source analysis to follow.
- Ganrapota High School: nominated at AfD; notified RitamMondal (talk · contribs) 18:54, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article was created 10 years ago, a time in which schools were presumed to be notable as long as their existence could be proved. This is no longer the case and they need to meet WP:GNG and WP:NORG standards as with any other organisation. The article was previously given a PROD in 2018 and there is still no evidence of notability five years later. The sole reference is just a directory listing, which is trivial coverage. My own searches only yield similarly poor sources such as Justdial and Schoolsworld.This article is way, way overdue an AfD. If any genuine evidence of any notability does arise, please ping me.
- Marcus Lal: nominated at AfD; notified Blackman Jr. (talk · contribs) 19:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD concern by User:Pichpich was Hasn't played a single game in a fully professional league or in senior international competitions. No sign of significant coverage. Removed by article creator without any edit summary or improvement to the article. The creator also removed the notability tag by User:Onel5969 without any edit summary or attempts to improve the article. Taking to AfD as I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met in my own searches either.
- Anukul Charan Munshi: nominated at AfD; notified Resind125 (talk · contribs) 12:15, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Still fails WP:NARTIST and WP:GNG. Wixsite and Arthive are user-generated so clearly unacceptable. Munshianay Chollis Purush does not seem to exist. Massive claims to notability made in the article but no evidence to support them. Please review the previous discussion to gain context before !voting if you can.
- Jisu Prem English School: nominated at AfD; notified Devatanu1984 (talk · contribs) 21:33, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Primary school that does not pass WP:NORG or WP:GNG. I found The Church at Powai, which manages this school so fails WP:ORGIND clearly. I revived the Acadym reference but it's clearly just a database profile page and there is nothing to suggest that this is WP:RS or that the coverage is significant.
- Abdulaziz Al-Askar: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 10:49, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Searches in the English and Arabic languages failed to yield a single piece of WP:SIGCOV or anything that would even pass WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The three references used in the article are all database sources so clearly fall short of SPORTBASIC.
- Chehab Anad: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 10:59, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Only coverage I can find of Anad in any language that isn't a database is Raya, which merely has one sentence about him being sent off for Al-Waab SC. I can't find anything to suggest he meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- DVD Global Empress: nominated at AfD; notified Rob run corleone (talk · contribs) 13:38, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Being allegedly signed to Empire Distribution is enough to escape WP:A7 probably. In spite of this, I can find hardly anything about her apart from the usual self-published sites like Spotify, SoundCloud etc. Does not seem to meet WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG. I found All Hip Hop but it's a trivial mention.
- The Dice: Afterlife: nominated at AfD; notified Ramilmustafayev (talk · contribs) 20:47, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:BOOKCRIT. All I can find are retailers selling the book and social media. I can't find any reviews or any other independent coverage. I don't think that the right to participate in the LGBTQ-U International Film Festival is sufficient for BOOKCRIT#2 and I can't see any WP:ATD since the author of the book, Ramil Mustafayev (Kryptohaker), is not notable and doesn't have an article. In fact, all I can find on Kryptohaker is his Twitter page with 50 followers...
- Jack Harris (footballer, born 1993): nominated at AfD; notified GiantSnowman (talk · contribs) 13:50, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Brief professional career and can't find any evidence that he meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter clearly states that database sources are not sufficient. Searches in English and Greek ("Τζακ Χάρις") failed to yield any decent sources. Can't see any WP:ATD as he isn't mentioned in Enosis Neon Paralimni FC due to not being a significant player in their history.
- Bhargabi High School: nominated at AfD; notified NITISHROSHAN (talk · contribs) 14:55, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:NORG by a long way according to my searches. No indication within the article as to why the school is notable enough for inclusion. If you wish for this to be kept, please respond with examples of WP:SIRS for this school. Redirecting to List of schools in Odisha was considered but I deemed it inappropriate because that list is only for notable schools.
- Ridwan Harris Ideal High school, Rabodi, Thane: nominated at AfD; notified Unicorn049 (talk · contribs) 09:43, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Rockstar Nino: nominated at AfD; notified Addictedtoomusic (talk · contribs) 18:48, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Draft:Rockstar Nino already exists so not able to draftify. WP:AUTOBIO on a subject that comprehensively fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO according to my own searches. Only his own social media accounts are coming up, no independent news media or professional reviews or national charts.
- Anna Movsisyan: nominated at AfD; notified Alfa kanima (talk · contribs) 21:36, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to find any sources that would comply with WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG and no achievements that meet WP:NTENNIS. She does not appear to have won or participated in a tournament in either singles or doubles that would make her automatically notable. In terms of coverage in the English language, I found nothing better than Armenpress, a single passing mention in a list of players called up to a Fed Cup tie. Surprisingly, there was very little in Armenian either. Tert was the best that I could find but it's a painfully brief tournament recap for a minor tournament. The coverage is so weak that it doesn't even give basic details of the matches that she won, it simply states that she won and nothing else. Clear consensus at sportspeople AfDs that this is not good enough to justify an article for a BLP.
- Yashesh Acharya: nominated at AfD; notified ManmeettkaurMK (talk · contribs) 22:52, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any sources to suggest that he meets WP:FILMMAKER, WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. His claim to notability is apparently being involved in a world record but the film that allegedly broke this world record does not seem to be notable itself so I cannot see how Acharya, as its associate director would be notable. None of his novels seem to have gained any media attention either.
- Prohászka Ottokár Orsolyita Gimnázium, Általános Iskola és Óvoda: nominated at RfD; Target: Győr (notified); notified Marylucetta (talk · contribs) 19:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm confused as to why this redirect was created since, as far as I can tell, there has never been a mention of this school at Győr. Győr being a big city with several schools, I can't see any reason why this one would warrant a mention there either. Bizarrely, it wasn't even mention there at the time in which the redirect was created either. I've searched the school up and there are a few mentions in a Hungarian Catholic news source such as Magyar Kurir 1 but nothing substantial enough for WP:ORGDEPTH so converting this into an article doesn't seem to be a valid option either.
- Assales Fatumaca: nominated at AfD; notified Ovilla Danis Sanz (talk · contribs) 19:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any WP:RS about this school at all and it has been unsourced since 2010. In my searches, all that I could find, other than Wikipedia mirrors, is what appears to be the school's own Facebook page. If this is the best that there is then this school fails WP:NORG and WP:GNG by quite some way. I oppose merging to Baucau Municipality because there is currently no reliably sourced content that we can merge - I oppose merging any WP:OR.
- Könyves Kálmán Primary School: nominated at AfD; notified Vm1992 A (talk · contribs) 19:47, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for multiple issues for almost 10 years and created by what appears to be an WP:SPA. Primary schools are rarely notable and I'm not seeing how this one would be an exception. This Hungarian search yielded the school's own website then listings in databases with no significant, in-depth coverage. I also searched Google News and found a mention in Minap but it's nowhere near enough to build an article from. The school does not demonstrate WP:GNG or WP:NORG.I am not keen on redirecting to Miskolc, firstly, because the school is not mentioned in that article so a redirect would only be confusing for the reader. Secondly, Miskolc is a large city with dozens of schools and I see no reason to start listing all of its schools in that article to facilitate a redirect, mostly because WP:NOTDIR is a policy.
- Fábio Jorge: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 20:57, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD by IP was declined as it was linked to WP:NFOOTBALL, which was never an exclusionary guideline and has been deprecated anyway. Can't find any significant coverage of the footballer of this name so does not look to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I've tried a number of searches including searching in conjunction with former clubs and not found anything decent about the footballer of this name.
- Ismael Pinto: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 21:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 5 minutes of professional football, doesn't seem to meet WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG based on results from a Portuguese source search and other searches. Best I can find in terms of independent sources is Sapo, which is just a mention in the squad list and nothing more.
- Callum Brain: nominated at AfD; notified Zebroski (talk · contribs) 20:09, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Confusingly, there seem to be two semi-pro/amateur footballers with this name. Coverage such as Lynn News, Eastern Daily Press and Fakenham Times is about an outfield player for Fakenham Town F.C. rather than this goalkeeper that is the subject of this article, so needs to be disregarded. Neither of the footballers with this name seem to be notable and there is no WP:ATD that would make any sense in this case.
- Asmad: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 20:20, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. I could find nothing better than squad list mentions in Viva and Bola, which are nowhere near where we need to be in terms of depth of coverage.
- Manmeet Kaur.: nominated at AfD; notified ManmeettkaurMK (talk · contribs) 14:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Technically no longer eligible for BLP PROD as sources have been added since. I'm not seeing enough notable roles for WP:NACTOR nor anything that meets WP:NMODEL. Article's author admits to using Wikipedia as a platform for their self-promotion, which is not acceptable. User:Khorang endorsed the original PROD. Source analysis to follow.
- Sergis Kyratzis: nominated at AfD; notified Keroks (talk · contribs) 20:03, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything to suggest that he meets WP:SPORTBASIC and he does not pass WP:NTENNIS, since Davis Cup participation was removed from that guideline. Kyratzis has never even been close to playing at ATP Tour or Grand Slam level. Best sources in the Greek language appear to be Kerkida (translated) and Athlitika (translated). These two articles largely duplicate each other so do not meet SPORTBASIC's requirements to be intellectually independent. The coverage lacks the depth required also as it is just routine game coverage and Kyratzis is only mentioned a couple of times in the main text. I would also say that Ant1 is routine game coverage of him.
- László Oláh: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 20:44, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I've searched Hungarian sources but can't find anything to suggest that Oláh László passes WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. The Hungarian Wikipedia article doesn't help us here either. Best sources that I could find were Behir 1, Nemzeti Sport and Behir 2, all of which were trivial mentions.
- Adílio Varela: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 18:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously kept at 2 AfDs due to being young, having an ongoing career and playing 23 minutes of professional football about 6 years ago. His ongoing career in what is now the 4th tier of Portuguese football certainly doesn't seem to be capturing any attention so any presumption of notability based on his ongoing career now seems invalid. Furthermore, WP:NFOOTBALL is now essentially WP:SPORTBASIC with WP:GNG and WP:FPL is no longer a consideration.I can find no new coverage since the first AfD. Best WP:RS coverage found are Sapo, Ojogo (translated) and Record. All of these discuss the same routine event - a loan - the articles themselves pre-date the first AfD, where nobody held the opinion that Varela met GNG but were happy to keep based on the SNG at the time. Unless Varela can be evidenced to pass SPORTBASIC, deletion is the only valid outcome.
- Academy of Business Administration: nominated at AfD; notified Padmalochanwiki (talk · contribs) 09:17, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Privately-owned business, unable to find any coverage satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH and doesn't seem to even meet WP:GNG either. Affiliated with two other universities but WP:NOTINHERITED applies. Best sources I can find are user-generated database pages like Education Today and Educrib. I can't find any news coverage about this private institution.
- Jupiter Science College: nominated at AfD; notified Subhamsai (talk · contribs) 10:33, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing enough to meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG. The coverage in Ommcom News is trivial. The rest is just database coverage like Justdial or poorly-written user-generated content like Angazetu.
- Al Khidmat-E-Khalq Foundation J&K: nominated at AfD; notified Ishu Ishtiyaq (talk · contribs) 17:35, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Constantinos Christou: nominated at AfD; notified Christoforos18 (talk · contribs) 21:44, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Christou has some coverage but I can't find any significant coverage that is completely independent of him so I'm not seeing a passing of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Alpha News is copied and pasted from an Omonia press release so obviously is not independent and Phile News mentions that he is the cousin of Constantinos Soteriou and Pieros Sotiriou but there's nothing else that we can build a biography from there. Sigma Live is basically just a quote from him so there's not enough independent content to call it WP:SIGCOV either. As SPORTBASIC says that Fan sites and blogs are generally not regarded as reliable sources we need to remember that sources like Omonoia 24 do not confer notability.
- Panuwat Kongchan: nominated at AfD; notified Larbkai (talk · contribs) 09:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer playing in the third tier in Thailand who made 4 professional appearances half a decade ago. Google News has one hit; Goal, which mentions Kongchan just once. Further Thai searches did dig up more coverage, but nothing addressing Kongchan in detail. Super Sub Thailand is a trivial mention as a goalscorer. Thsport and Ballthai both have an article about him, however, both sources largely duplicate each other and also severely lack any independent analysis. Clear consensus exists at AfD that sources which consist of little more than just a quote from a player are not considered to be significant. Ballthai does mention his age (which differs from what this article has) but that isn't WP:SIGCOV either. Please note that WP:SPORTBASIC calls for sources to be intellectually independent of each other so, even if Thsport and Ballthai were considered to be significant in terms of coverage, they would only count as one source because of the duplication. An explanation can be found here. If someone can find multiple WP:RS discussing Kongchan in detail that are independent from each other, I'll happily withdraw this.
- D'LIFE Home Interiors: nominated at AfD; notified Bluesplaya (talk · contribs) 10:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Nikita Dudo: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 10:29, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 32 mins of professional football but has spent the majority of his career as an amateur/semi-pro in the third tier of Belarusian football. After much searching in Russian and Belarusian, I have not found any clear evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Ostrovets and Football.by, both of which mention him once only. This Tribuna article used on the Belarusian Wikipedia article is just a brief loan announcement with no depth. FCO is not significant coverage and the source is not independent either, as he was employed by the club at the time. SPORTBASIC also says that team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject and winning an award based on a fan poll would never meet WP:ANYBIO.
- Tacuara Records: nominated at AfD; notified Mcrovetto76 (talk · contribs) 15:02, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article on an Argentine record label with no notable releases (not one of the more important indie labels per WP:NMUSIC) and no sources showing WP:SIGCOV either. I found no hits on this record label in Google News, Google Books, ProQuest, Newspaper Archive or newspapers.com. All I can find are the usual non-WP:RS like Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Discogs and Instagram, which do not confer notability. I also can't see why Abbey Road Studios is deemed to be a similar subject in the 'see also' section.
- Ali Jan Faizi: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 21:44, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Due to a complete lack of coverage outside of databases, this clearly fails WP:SPORTBASIC, despite playing 46 minutes of a single international game 20 years ago then disappearing without further coverage, it would seem. Even searching in (علی جان فیض) yields nothing decent. I oppose redirecting as he is not mentioned in any other article nor is there any article where he should be mentioned.
- Glenn Ong Jing Jie: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 23:12, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Neither of the two sources that are currently in the article demonstrate WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG since one is a database page and the other is written by his employer, Lion City Sailors FC, so is not independent of Ong. Searches, including a Singaporean one, yielded nothing better than Straits Times, which is a few match report mentions, and Vavel, a squad list mention.
- Munkhbayan: nominated at AfD; notified Munkhbayan (talk · contribs) 23:45, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Claims of popularity enough to escape WP:A7. Clear promotional intent but the language isn't promotional enough for WP:G11. Should, however, be deleted for failing WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. Zero WP:RS coverage.
- Mohammad Nader Aimi: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 22:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing in an international match, I can't find any evidence of significant coverage so he does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Following WP:NSPORTS2022, I can't see any reason to keep. I also tried searching "محمد نادر عیمی" and found nothing useful.
- Music Circle, Rourkela: nominated at AfD; notified Whitecirius (talk · contribs) 20:45, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of passing WP:NORG or even WP:GNG. Database profile pages like Bharatibiz and Justdial and Wikipedia mirror sites are all I can find.
- Alisha Foote: nominated at AfD; notified Camw (talk · contribs) 22:02, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a subject that does not seem to demonstrate WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best source by far is Courier Mail, which has little more than a brief quote. ABC is a single trivial mention. This Australian source search yields some stats sites and an obituary for an unrelated person called 'Alisha Marie Foote'. No decent coverage in ProQuest.
- Roman Angot: nominated at AfD; notified Jasonn123 (talk · contribs) 10:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly recreated infobox-only article on an amateur footballer playing in the 4th tier of Germany. Draftified twice previously in the exact same state. Taking to AfD to establish consensus. See history of Draft:Roman Angot for more context on the situation. Searches, including this German search included no significant prose coverage of this footballer, which is unsurprising given the level that he plays at. Database profiles like Kicker seem to be the best sources.
April 2023
[edit]- Keo-Oudone Souvannasangso: nominated at AfD; notified Jasonn123 (talk · contribs) 09:21, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify (see Draft:Keo-Oudone Souvannasangso). Article makes no claim to notability and my searches in Latin and Laotian script failed to yield anything that indicates WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG are met. Best I can find from Laotian sources are Muan, Lao Phattana and Vientiane Times, all of which are essentially just a squad announcement where he is mentioned once. The only decent Latin script source that I can find is Football 5 star, an Indonesian article about an U23 fixture which mentions him only 3 times and doesn't give anything that we can build a biography from.
- Vignan Vidyalaya, Rayagada: nominated at AfD; notified Hpsatapathy (talk · contribs) 10:43, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Private primary school with no claim to notability. Only sources I can find are ones like DIY Schools which are way short of WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:GNG. There are also several red flags in the article such as "Vignan Vidyalaya does not have its own building and runs in a rented building." and "The school has total of 5 classrooms." which are essentially admissions that the school is not a notable school. Primary schools are almost never notable and I'm not seeing this as being the rare exception. I can't even find any WP:RS that would be worth creating a section on the school in Rayagada with.
- Zoltán Ágh: nominated at AfD; notified IQual (talk · contribs) 11:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 134 mins of professional football over a decade ago, I'm not seeing the depth required for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches including this one did not yield any decent coverage. Even Nemzeti Sport had nothing useful. I found 2 Q&A articles and will explain why they are not sufficient. Felvidek is not an independent source since it's based on a press release from FC ŠTK 1914 Šamorín, his employer at the time. It also contains no independent analysis of his responses so, as per consensus at footballer AfDs, we wouldn't regard it as significant. Sportolunk is another basic Q&A with no meaningful content from anyone other than Ágh himself, so does not confer notability.
- Bustami: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 11:23, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced stats-only BLP on a footballer that doesn't seem to pass WP:SPORTBASIC. I found a trivial mention in a Tribun News match report and Modusaceh, which may or may not be the same 'Bustami', just contains 2 brief quotes so isn't significant coverage. I'm not seeing even one example of significant coverage let alone the multiple ones required for SPORTBASIC.
- Isaac Annan (footballer, born 1992): nominated at AfD; notified Robjensen1 (talk · contribs) 12:27, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I've done a WP:BEFORE but can't find anything about the Isaac Annan born in 1992 other than the 4 references already used. Kaya FC is the best in terms of depth but it needs to be disregarded entirely as it's written by his employer at the time so is not independent of the subject. Based on my searches, Annan looks to fail WP:SPORTBASIC comprehensively.
- Seidu Faisal: nominated at AfD; notified Ampimd (talk · contribs) 12:33, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: In my searches, all I can find are squad listings much like the ones already referenced in the article. I can't find any sources that pull Seidu Faisal to one side and analyse him in depth. WP:SPORTBASIC not yet demonstrated.
- Illya Siryi: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 15:33, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created prior to WP:NSPORTS2022 because of 6 mins of professional football back in 2013 before spending the rest of his career as an amateur. I have searched in Ukrainian but been unable to locate any significant coverage. I note that there is a parachutist with the same name but, given that the parachutist was 15 years old back in 2017, they cannot be the same person. No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC currently.
- Ayoub Jghalef: nominated at AfD; notified Reedex2023 (talk · contribs) 20:34, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Sokol Çela: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 10:49, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any clear evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources I could find were Panorama 1, which is just a quote from him regarding KF Tomori, which is the real main subject of the article, and Panorama 2, a very brief quote with no content independent of Çela.
- Zé Pedro Alves: nominated at AfD; notified Bine Mai (talk · contribs) 11:10, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The article states that he was an amateur for almost all of his career and no significant coverage has been presented. In my searches, I found plenty about Zé Pedro (footballer, born 1978) (José Pedro Alves Salazar) but very little about this Zé Pedro. Soccerway has a fairly bare page on him and D Noticias is a very brief transfer announcement. No indication of WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Emil Yanchev (footballer, born 1974): nominated at AfD; notified Skippo10 (talk · contribs) 09:26, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Lack of significant coverage for WP:SPORTBASIC. Through searching in Maltese sources, I found an image caption in Times of Malta and a passing mention in Independent. Most Bulgarian sources are clearly about Emil Yanchev (footballer, born 1999) rather than this person. Still, there are some sources about the 1974 Yanchev. Blitz has a transfer announcement which briefly lists his previous clubs but we would need more than this to establish notability.
- Redzwan Atan: nominated at AfD; notified Jimisee (talk · contribs) 09:35, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP on a footballer with no evidence presented of WP:SPORTBASIC. A Singaporean search yields only Wikipedia mirrors and stats sites. After other searches, the best I can find are ESPN 1, ESPN 2 and Straits Times, all woefully inadequate in terms of depth.
- Nicola Twohig: nominated at AfD; notified 8lgm (talk · contribs) 17:51, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No significant coverage found when searching "Nicola Twohig", "Nikki Twohig" or "Nicky Twohig". "Nicky Twohig" gets the best results but all, without exceptions, are just trivial mentions. WP:SPORTBASIC requires significant in-depth coverage from multiple independent WP:RS. Source analysis to follow.
- Danielle Sheen: nominated at AfD; notified 8lgm (talk · contribs) 18:29, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any decent coverage in a WP:BEFORE search. The references in the article appear to be the best available. Two of the Liverpool Echo sources are obviously trivial mentions and Blackburn Rovers is not an independent source per WP:SPORTBASIC (team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject), being a website for her former employer. Lastly, Danielle clinches it and Sparkling Sheen both fail WP:YOUNGATH per the guidance on local coverage in clause 2; The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications. It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability. A match summary for a local under-16 fixture clearly violates the criteria, so cannot be used to support notability.
- Nicola Harding: nominated at AfD; notified 8lgm (talk · contribs) 18:40, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played in the semi-pro era, when coverage was, unfortunately, not what it is today. I can't see any evidence of passing WP:SPORTBASIC in newspaper searches or internet searches. She is mentioned as a goalscorer in These Football Times, has a trivial mention in Liverpool Echo and another in the same newspaper. The four sources already in the article are also inadequate for establishing notability.
- Mohammad Fazel Bratyan: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 18:48, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His cap for Afghanistan would be enough for a PROD to be removed but not enough for actual notability. We know almost nothing about this person other than their name and the fact that they have one cap. Searches of "Mohammad Fazel Bratyan" and "محمدفاضل براتیان" did not yield anything that would pass WP:SPORTBASIC standards.
- Dean Walker: nominated at AfD; notified BigDom (talk · contribs) 19:35, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: An IP editor has twice tried to get this article deleted via PROD. Looking into this myself, I was unable to find any decent coverage in newspapers for Dean Walker, despite the fact that he played a game in the 4th tier of English football. I also searched his name in conjunction with 'Burnley' and 'Scunthorpe' and found nothing other than one trivial mention in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle' - this can be found as the second result in this search. No evidence of passing WP:SPORTBASIC from that alone.
- Zoya Tsopei: nominated at AfD; notified Zimidar (talk · contribs) 22:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Created again for the umpteenth time. All of the sources are extremely promotional and clearly not independent of the subject. Does not pass WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSICIAN. Pop Queen of Latvia is not enough for WP:ANYBIO, if it is even a real award at all. I would ask everyone to read the previous AfD before commenting here if they can; there was clear consensus that there is a real push for Tsopei to have an article here, hence why all of these promotional articles keep getting posted across all of these different sites. A lot of the articles duplicate each other too.
- Vahtang Hakobyan: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 20:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created because he came on to play 22 mins in a friendly against Israel to meet the former WP:NFOOTBALL guideline but I can't see anything that makes him meet WP:SPORTBASIC, even when searching in Armenian script ("Վախթանգ Հակոբյան") as well as Latin.
- Michalis Demetriou: nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 08:41, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC. I was able to find Apollon 1954 Retro Stories but this source is inappropriate as it is written by a contributor and hosted on a fan site, so clearly not WP:RS. SPORTBASIC itself says Fan sites and blogs are generally not regarded as reliable sources, and team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject. Furthermore, SPORTBASIC also asks for multiple sources so clearly, even if the above source is okay, we still require at least one more in-depth source.
- Issa Ghaderi: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 12:13, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: In my searches in Arabic, I was not able to locate any detailed coverage that would meet WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is Al Sharq, which mentions him once. Existing sources are two stats pages and Facebook, which aren't good enough.
- Ioan Evans (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Zebroski (talk · contribs) 17:40, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro footballer with no evidence of notability presented; I can't even find one source suitable to count towards WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC let alone the multiple required. There are a lot of namesakes but I did find some sources which are about this particular Ioan Evans. He is mentioned 3 times in the prose of Yahoo, a match report and once more in the squad list. Western Telegraph is a trivial mention and Y Clwb Pêl-droed mentions him only twice.
- Georgios Ermidis: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 21:37, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Repeatedly recreated article. Ermidis is a non-notable semi-pro footballer who, to date, has played in a friendly for FC Desna Chernihiv, a few youth matches and 2 minutes in the Russian third tier. The article gives the illusion of notability by using the WP:REFBOMB tactic; flooding the article with references to stats pages, non-independent sources and trivial mentions. WP:SPORTBASIC requires multiple WP:RS independent of Ermidis showing detailed coverage. This wasn't met in the old versions of this article and this new version still doesn't meet it.Given the huge number of sources, I will do a source analysis to explain why each one does not confer notability.
- Himalaya International School: nominated at AfD; notified Bhopalmagic (talk · contribs) 11:38, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any sources satisfying WP:ORGDEPTH in my searches and current sources on the article fail WP:ORGIND as they are the institution's own website. Database listings in Uniapply and Justdial are the best sources that I can find, which prove existence but not notability.
- Gwalior Glory High School: nominated at AfD; notified Shobhit Gosain (talk · contribs) 11:47, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any indication of notability. Best source I can find in my searches was CBSE School, which is not independent and fails to demonstrate any WP:ORGDEPTH.
- Fred Kaunda Chinoya: nominated at AfD; notified Ramsey frinsy (talk · contribs) 14:27, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- Susanne Kasperczyk: nominated at AfD; notified Pakhtakorienne (talk · contribs) 12:15, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any sources that would count towards WP:SPORTBASIC let alone the multiple ones needed. FR is just an image caption and DFB mentions her once. ProQuest hits were all trivial mentions in U19 match reports. A German source search also didn't yield anything of note.
- Jorge Aiello: nominated at AfD; notified Durneydiaz (talk · contribs) 12:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Not seeing enough to meet WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. Searches, including this Argentine source search, yielded nothing decent. Web del Viola (translated) has a transfer announcement relating to him but it only has one paragraph about him and SPORTBASIC requires multiple sources showing significant coverage. Since it is the official website of Villa Dálmine, it also isn't an independent source. SPORTBASIC itself states that team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject.
- Mohammad Azam Wattoo: nominated at AfD; notified اعلن (talk · contribs) 15:31, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify. Article was then copied and pasted back to mainspace so a BLP PROD was applied. This was removed by the article creator without addressing the issue that this is a BLP with no sources present. In my own searches I can only find TikTok and Facebook which are not WP:RS. Despite the sentence Mr.wattoo is also famliar as political figure I can find no evidence of him passing WP:NPOL. Aside from that, the only other claim to notability is completing his law degree, which is a great achievement but not one that means you need a Wikipedia article.
- Samir Aghayev: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 21:02, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: My searches of "Samir Ağayev" and "Samir Aghayev" did not yield anything better than other stats sites like Soccerbase and Transfermarkt, which do not confer notability. Given that he has only played 8 mins of professional league football, this might be WP:TOOSOON, then again, I don't see any guarantee that he will be notable in the very near future. TFF is the best source that I found but it's a squad list mention only and playing in U19 football matches doesn't make you automatically notable.
- James Pittaway: nominated at AfD; notified Astonish ing (talk · contribs) 21:40, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Per User:TimothyBlue No sources in article are IS RS with SIGCOV. BEFORE showed nothing with IS RS SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.User:Ortizesp has contested this comment.I endorsed deletion after searching BNA and finding no relevant hits; all I found was local news about namesakes, announcements about petty crimes, adverts, weddings, police witness statements... Nothing about a footballer from West Brom. WP:SPORTBASIC requires multiple sources showing detailed coverage. I oppose redirecting to List of West Bromwich Albion F.C. players as he is not notable enough to be on that list.
- List of Parkruns in the United States of America: nominated at AfD; notified Szzuk (talk · contribs) 18:14, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to be a clear WP:NOTDIR case. See also List of Parkruns in Australia (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Parkruns in Australia) and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2023 April 1, in the latter discussion, the NOTDIR concern was raised by several experienced editors.
- List of Parkruns in France: nominated at AfD; notified Willbb234 (talk · contribs) 18:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to be a clear WP:NOTDIR case. See also List of Parkruns in Australia (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Parkruns in Australia) and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2023 April 1, in the latter discussion, the NOTDIR concern was raised by several experienced editors. If anyone wants a directory of French Parkruns, they can visit parkrun.fr; there is no reason for Wikipedia to mirror this list.
- Abdullah Baiat: nominated at AfD; notified Saddawi12 (talk · contribs) 19:22, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. Potentially fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC due to lack of significant coverage. Kooora, a stats site, and 2lkhbr, a trivial mention, were the best that I could find when searching in Arabic (عبد الله بيات).
- Besugo: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 09:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created due to playing less than one minute in the professional second tier of Portugal before dropping down into the semi-pro and, later, amateur tiers. According to Correio dos Açores, which is a trivial mention only, he was playing in the amateur fifth tier Liga Meo Azores in 2019 and I can't find any more recent mention of Besugo. In my searches, including those in conjunction with clubs he played for as well as searching for "Hugo Sá Tavares", I could only find Sapo, another trivial mention. Not enough for WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Mohamed Aït Kaci: nominated at AfD; notified TonyStarks (talk · contribs) 10:26, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: According to the DZFoot link already in the article, he was only a very minor figure in Algerian football. No independent sources showing significant coverage are in the article and I could not find any in my searches in Latin script, Kabyle and Arabic (محمد آيت كاسي). No evidence of passing WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Didmar Duro: nominated at AfD; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 11:12, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: In my searches, I found nothing better than stats sites, social media pages (e.g. Instagram) and Wikipedia mirrors. Best source I can find is Fortuna Regensburg, which is a blog with a passing mention of him and also non-independent due to being his employer. Looks like he fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG.
- Gwalior Engineering College: nominated at AfD; notified Stillrules (talk · contribs) 15:17, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of meeting WP:NORG, in particular WP:ORGDEPTH. Youth4work is a blog post, Free-apply is just copied and pasted from this Wikipedia article and Careers360 is just another database page.
- János Fejes: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 17:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC. Please note that Szabolcs Foci Info is about a different footballer to the one subject to this article as the article mentions him being 34 years old. Best I can find are Vasas FC, Eger SE and Jászberény. None of these meet the requirements of SPORTBASIC in terms of depth and none of these are reliable sites, in fact all our team sites and SPORTBASIC says team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject so such coverage cannot be used to claim notability.
- Valentine Ngaham: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 13:29, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Lack of coverage for WP:SPORTBASIC. The one citation provided is a trivial mention. In my own searches, I found nothing better than a YouTube video and a passing mention in Essex Alliance League, which covers the 11th to 16th tiers of English football...
- Peter Gideon: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 13:39, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Orphaned, unsourced BLP and I'm not seeing any evidence of notability; has been in this unacceptable state for 15 years now. Best thing I can find is Footballeur Lifestyle, which simply lists his name and DOB. WP:SPORTBASIC requires significant coverage from multiple reliable sources, which we do not seem to have.
- Mark Komade: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 14:03, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Another poorly sourced BLP from 2008. Best sources I can find are Ghanaweb, a trivial mention, Modern Ghana, a brief quote from him with no independent analysis, and Eurosport, which is just a database listing that wrongly lists him as Dutch. No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Baffour Kyei: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 14:14, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of coverage addressing him directly and in depth for WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. I can find Transfermarkt, a blank profile page. Please do not confuse this person with Baffour Kyei Sebe, who plays in Guinea and has a different DOB.
- Hani Al-Dobaini: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 17:30, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG. In my Arabic searches I found Al-Jazirah, which mentions him once, Ar Riyadiyah, which is a one-sentence transfer announcement, and Alyaum, which has two quotes from him at the bottom. None of this coverage addresses him directly and in depth.
- Uladzimir Varantsou: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 19:46, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not seem to meet the current version of WP:NBAD as being runner-up in the Egypt International is not enough to gain a free pass from having to meet WP:GNG. When searching in Belarusian and Russian, I am unable to find any significant coverage. Plenty of coverage comes up about a Russian ex-policeman called Vladimir Vorontsov but almost nothing about a Belarusian badminton player of this name.
- Maria Avraamidou: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 20:09, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There are plenty of people called "Maria Avraamidou" but I can't find any significant coverage about a badminton player of this name. Her one claim to notability is being a runner-up in a tournament that does not seem to meet WP:NBAD. When searching in Greek, the best I can find is CUSF, which is not at all sufficient for meeting WP:GNG.
- Fanny Duarte: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 21:51, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badminton player with no claim to meeting WP:NBAD and no evidence of passing WP:GNG. According to BWF she has never won a match on the tour and has a win-loss of 0/8 having not played since 2018, which gives me little confidence that future notability is likely. I found a trivial mention of her in Radio Havana and Escambray but this type of coverage doesn't meet GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Ali Ahmadi (Afghan footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 21:19, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC even when searching in Farsi (علی احمدی). I did come across sources like Tasnim News but this is actually about Ali Ahmadi (Iranian footballer). I couldn't find any detailed news coverage about the Afghan footballer called 'Ali Ahmadi'.
- Oleksandr Dovhyi: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 17:32, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SPORTBASIC #5 states that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. This is the bare minimum threshold and, in reality, we need more than just the one good reference. Despite that, I can't seem to find even one good source about Dovhyi and the creator has only used RSSSF and Soccerway, neither of which are of any use whatsoever.In Lithuanian sources, the best that I can find are Muge and Atvira Klaipeda, neither of which are even close to being good. A Ukrainian search only seems to give results about Ukrainian military rather than anything about this footballer. This article is not even remotely suitable to remain in mainspace. I considered sending to draft but the creator has been reverting such moves anyway so that seemed redundant.
- Ali Alawi: nominated at AfD; notified Charles87 (talk · contribs) 18:44, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of passing WP:SPORTBASIC. Every Wikipedia that has an article on him only uses database sources, which do not confer notability. I can find plenty on Ali Allawi but nothing about the footballer of this name. Even his Goalzz page makes no suggestion of notability, only showing 2 goals from over a decade ago in the 'Syrian Youth League', which does not give me any confidence that we will see significant coverage.
- Lubomira Stoynova: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 08:37, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SPORTBASIC clearly states that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. which is not the case here. Getting to the final of the Bulgarian International Championship is not even close to meeting WP:NBAD, not to be confused with the higher level Bulgarian Open (badminton). A Bulgarian search failed to yield any decent coverage of the badminton player of this name.
- Attila Császár (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Krisztian Horvath (talk · contribs) 13:46, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His professional football career lasted all of 44 mins and, in any case, WP:FPL is no longer the relevant standard. I am not seeing any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met. Best sources seem to be Csornai SE, which is not WP:RS, Dunaújváros, a mere squad list mention, and Papa ma, which is trivial match report coverage.
- Pedro Batista: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 15:15, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Had a brief professional career with Freamunde then dropped to amateur level and disappeared. My searches only yielded social media, stats sites and mentions on Blogspot. I couldn't find anything that would count towards WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Ivaylo Velinov: nominated at AfD; notified Jordanson (talk · contribs) 10:00, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Currently, this article is an unsourced WP:BLP and has been flagged as such. I can't see any way of bringing this up to a level that it complies with WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, partly because his professional career was so brief. I did find some coverage of him, so he does exist, but the coverage is all just trivial mentions in Bulgarian news sources. Gong mentions him once, confirming that he received a red card, Darik mentions him as one of 9 OFC Belasitsa Petrich requesting termination of his contract, an event that is covered well enough in the club article and does not require stand-alone articles for all involved, Topsport is yet another trivial mention, saying that he is in good shape and can play as a right back.
- Ervin Hasalliu: nominated at AfD; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 11:29, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite a reasonable number of games in the Albanian 2nd tier, which would be enough to survive a PROD, I am not seeing anything that makes Hasalliu actually notable in terms of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, the only relevant guidelines for footballers. I found one passing mention in Panorama, which just looks like a squad list of every single team in the division and is not significant coverage by any means.
- Callum Ryan-Phillips: nominated at AfD; notified Zebroski (talk · contribs) 11:56, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the 6 sources used in the article contain significant coverage and I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC in my own searches. Southern Football League is the best that I could find but it's only a basic transfer announcement and there is consensus among a number of editors that the league website is not an independent source, see here for example. South Wales Argus mentions him just once and Severn Sport is just trivial match report coverage so my own searches have not found anything useful here.
- Sargis Karapetyan (footballer, born 1963): nominated at AfD; notified Darius Dhlomo (talk · contribs) 21:36, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His only claim to notability seems to be playing in a non-FIFA friendly against Moldova. I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC when searching in Armenian (Սարգիս Կարապետյան) or otherwise. All that seems to be available is stats. Similar case to Vahtang Hakobyan (AfD).
- Valeriy Zhoholko: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 19:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: For the majority of his career, played as an amateur. The article is currently a footballfacts.ru stats mirror and I can't see any significant prose coverage available about this footballer. Does not seem to pass WP:SPORTBASIC. Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Best source I can find on him is Chernigiv Future, a local source that mentions him once in the text.
- Christos Palates: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 19:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer that seems to have spent most of his career in the amateur Cypriot Third Division sourced only to stats sites. Per WP:SPORTBASIC, Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. The best that I could find were Kerkida, which mentions him once, Athlitika Press, also mentioning him just once, and Tothemaonline, another trivial mention of him.
- Vladyslav Kyryn: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 19:25, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Best source I can find is Kudrivka, which is not even independent of the subject and the coverage is trivial.
- Côme Ferrand: nominated at AfD; notified JuliaB199 (talk · contribs) 08:21, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not seem to meet WP:BASIC or WP:CREATIVE. Not eligible for BLP PROD as contains two external links in the infobox. Already exists in draft at Draft:Come so sending to draft again would be pointless. Due to the notability concerns, I request deletion of the article.
- Nikesh Singh Sidhu: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 17:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. This Football Association of Singapore article is the best that I could find and it merely lists him as an unused sub. A Singaporean source search yielded mostly database sources.
- Matty Fenton: nominated at AfD; notified BDavies211 (talk · contribs) 21:01, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable footballer that does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is a passing mention in the Northwich Guardian.
- Debra Brittain Davenport: nominated at AfD; notified Dbdaven0057 (talk · contribs) 21:54, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Debra Davenport. I'm still not seeing enough detailed independent coverage to pass WP:GNG. The award mentioned at UPCEA is a regional one so does not seem to meet WP:NPROF #2 (please correct me if I'm mistaken).
- Nail Alishov: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 18:17, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Searches of "Nail Alışov" and "Nail Alishov" did not yield any detailed coverage that would help with WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is a squad list mention as an unused sub in Report.az and a quote from him at the bottom of Matc.az. The latter is not significant because there is no meaningful third-party analysis of what Alishov said.
- Kripa Sadan High School: nominated at AfD; notified Vishalbajaj41 (talk · contribs) 09:05, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to find any sources that would allow this to pass WP:NORG. The best that I can find are database pages like Justdial and Schools.org.in. The latter source says that the school only has one classroom, so this might explain why I was unable to find any significant coverage.
- Auxilium ISC School, Kottiyam: nominated at AfD; notified Amds1987 (talk · contribs) 09:45, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing any coverage that would allow this to pass WP:NORG. Database sites like Careers360 and Hello Bhai lack WP:ORGDEPTH.
- Larika Russell: nominated at AfD; notified T. Anthony (talk · contribs) 10:42, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Tennis player with almost no success at all outside of the ITF juniors. Central American and Caribbean Games medals and ITF junior titles do not satisfy WP:NTENNIS. More importantly, I could not find anything to suggest that WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG could be met. Uno TV and D10 only mention Russell trivially. Likewise, the best that I could find in ProQuest was EFE and El Nuevo Día, which mention her once.
- Brad Tapp: nominated at AfD; notified Ausfootballfan (talk · contribs) 11:16, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I am unable to locate any significant coverage for WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG even when searching under "Bradley Tapp" as well as "Brad Tapp". The best that I can find is Football NSW, Coast Community News and The Football Sack, all of which are trivial mentions. Please note that Central Coast Mariners FC is his employer so any sources hosted on their website would not be independent of the subject.
- Diego Bonilla (footballer, born 2002): nominated at AfD; notified Simione001 (talk · contribs) 11:28, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to be WP:TOOSOON at best. No significant coverage cited and I can't find anything decent in an Australian source search. A search in ProQuest yielded something about Diego Bonilla (footballer, born 1980) but nothing about the Bonilla that is the subject of this article. There also seems to be a 'Diego Bonilla' mentioned here, who also doesn't seem to be notable. I'm not seeing a passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC here.
- Khaled Al-Hanaai: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 09:44, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to locate any coverage that would satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC when searching in Arabic (خالد الهنائي). None of the current sources are good enough either and the subject has played only one minute of professional football 3 years ago and done next to nothing since.
- Sunday Alhassan: nominated at AfD; notified Ampimd (talk · contribs) 15:46, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Lacks the coverage to pass WP:GNG. There is some coverage in Football Made in Ghana but it's little more than a basic transfer announcement, although it does mention how many games he played for King Faisal and that he had a few injuries. Modern Ghana has a trivial mention. In any case, even if Football Made in Ghana is considered to be good, one decent source does not equal a GNG pass.
- Abdulrahman Al-Dhefiri: nominated at AfD; notified Mr.Meshref (talk · contribs) 15:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG according to searches in Arabic. Best sources are Akhbaar24, a loan announcement based on a tweet with zero detailed coverage, and Arriyadiayh, an image caption.
May 2023
[edit]- Angelina Lübcke: nominated at AfD; notified Wiki Andrea 2012 (talk · contribs) 10:44, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Out of the sources being used, this is way too brief and the rest do not confer notability at all. In my searches, the best I can find are Sport Buzzer, which mentions her once in the image caption and once in the text and Harz Kurier, which is inaccessible but appears to be a match report. Even if the Harz Kurier source is decent, we would still need one more decent source to consider this a WP:GNG pass.
- Auden High School, Banashankari: nominated at AfD; notified Zzapinercor (talk · contribs) 11:48, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I was not able to find any sources satisfying WP:ORGDEPTH in my searches. The current sources in the article are published by the school itself, so do not meet WP:ORGIND. The school does not seem to have any architectural or historic notability.
- William Richards School, Kolar Gold Fields, India: nominated at AfD; notified Melvillebrooks (talk · contribs) 11:55, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Completely unsourced and my searches are only coming back with the Facebook page operated by the institution. I would oppose any attempt to merge this article as there is no worthwhile, sourced content to actually merge. The school doesn't appear to be notable enough to warrant a redirect to Kolar Gold Fields#Education and it is not currently mentioned there. AfD seems well overdue for this article.
- Amsole High School: nominated at AfD; notified MLDT34 (talk · contribs) 12:14, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: School stub with no decent sources cited. Best that I can find in my own searches are Education Bengal, which seems to be a very close paraphrasing of this Wikipedia article, and EduGorilla, which is a basic database page that every single school in India has. I cannot find anything that would count towards WP:NORG or even WP:GNG.
- Vadim Balbukh: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 20:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Balbukh never played at the top level and shows no sign of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I've reviewed his article on other Wikipedia sites such as Belarus Wikipedia and none of the sources on there provide significant coverage or are not independent of Balbukh (e.g. former employers). The best sources I can find myself are Ranak, Media Polesye and Nashkraj, all of which show trivial coverage only.
- Tatiana Caicedo Muñoz: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 23:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sole claim to notability appears to be being a runner-up in a tournament that no longer counts towards WP:NBAD. According to BWF, all of her other tournament honours seem to be at junior level and I can see no evidence of any activity since 2016 to indicate that she is due to become notable soon, so draftifying doesn't seem to be a great option. Best sources I could find were Hoy and ENARD, both way short of WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG.
- Oleksandr Stelmakh: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 08:16, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stelmakh played for one season in the third tier Ukrainian Second League before disappearing into the Chernihiv amateur leagues and I can't find any significant coverage that would allow a passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The article is currently just a mirror of the stats site footballfacts.ruWithin PFC CSKA Moscow, there is someone of the same name. They are different people, though, as this article explains that he had his 61st birthday last year whereas the Ukrainian Stelmakh is due to turn 50 this year.
- Márk Farkas: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 19:41, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of notability presented. A Hungarian source search did not yield anything decent. Behir has a few sentences about him joining Békéscsaba, which does not address him in enough detail for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The only other piece that I can find about him is Szeged Ma but these are just mentions in a match report about being on the squad list and then scoring a header.
- Isus Angelov: nominated at AfD; notified Dfotev (talk · contribs) 20:01, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: With a name that seems to translate to "Jesus, son of Angel", his name did come up a few times in Bulgarian news headlines but the articles themselves contain barely any coverage. Certainly nothing that I could find meets the standards of WP:GNG. He is mentioned in Sportal as having an ACL injury and likely to be out for 6 months but that's about the full extent of the coverage in that piece. Blitz has two articles that mention Angelov in the headline but both only address him once in the main text, 1 and 2, so neither of these can be considered as anything other than trivial coverage.
- Kafuko Stanley: nominated at AfD; notified Kstan28 (talk · contribs) 08:33, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: My understanding is that his role of social media administrator and digital content manager is not sufficient to meet WP:NPOL. While he does have some media coverage because of being one of many politicians arrested, the sources like Independent, only address him once in passing, so would be trivial coverage rather than significant. The article is also an autobiography so we need to be wary of a conflict of interest.
- Maurizio Aquino: nominated at AfD; notified Nfc123 (talk · contribs) 09:59, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any clear evidence of notability for Aquino in terms of WP:GNG and it doesn't seem to pass WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Nothing much found in a Belgian source search. I found KVK Tienen, which has one sentence about him and is not independent, Nieuwsblad simply confirms that he scored a goal and HBVL is the best of the bunch but is little more than a basic transfer announcement, sources of a similar strength are almost always dismissed as being insufficient for notability at AfD.
- Odai Eid: nominated at AfD; notified Firas1977 (talk · contribs) 17:40, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
- Albion Demiri: nominated at AfD; notified Lolakam22 (talk · contribs) 08:05, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: After BLP PROD was applied, sources were added but none of them work for me. In any case, sources like Transfermarkt, Soccerway and UEFA player profiles are not WP:SIGCOV and WP:SPORTBASIC #5 clearly states that such articles must include must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Nothing in my searches suggests that this youth player meets that minimum standard.
- Holy Family Convent Sr. Secondary School, Khurai: nominated at AfD; notified Wikindia24x7 (talk · contribs) 12:15, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any sources that meet the requirements of WP:ORGDEPTH or even WP:GNG. All I can find are the usual database profiles like Justdial, the school's own website and the school's own social media.
- Galaxy English Boarding High School: nominated at AfD; notified सनिफ कंडेल (talk · contribs) 12:29, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Alex Spontas: nominated at AfD; notified Andreasspontas (talk · contribs) 17:13, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Notability criteria have changed since this got accepted through AfC. Most importantly, WP:SPORTBASIC states that such articles must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. The best that I can find are Athlitika Press and Taxidromos24, both of which contain no WP:SIGCOV and are derived from Facebook.
- Durim Badalli: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 19:55, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG require multiple good sources for an article to be kept and I couldn't find this. I firstly looked at the archived versions of the dead links presented. Both Illyria Press and Gazeta Dita mention Durim Badalli only once in the text and once more in the squad list at the bottom. This is not significant coverage. The Swiss coverage also seemed insufficient. 1815 and Le Nouvelliste were trivial mentions and Pomona is just a match report, mentioning Badalli as the scorer of the winning goal in a 4th tier amateur Swiss game.
- Stelios Kypreos: nominated at AfD; notified GRanemos1 (talk · contribs) 10:58, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I am unable to find any decent coverage in Greek or Cypriot sources. Currently looks to fail WP:GNG and even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best that I can find are Stoplekto, a transfer announcement directly copied from a club press release, and Sportsup, a transfer announcement based on the Stoplekto article. Topiko24 is another transfer announcement, although not a good one as it doesn't even mention the date of the transfer and lacks depth in general. Please ignore articles like 12sports (translated) which clearly relate to a namesake.
- Manoj Jat: nominated at AfD; notified Aadiwaasii (talk · contribs) 16:33, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any coverage of this player outside of his own social media accounts and YouTube videos. The sources cited do not mention Manoj Jat and both were taken from Manoj Thonipurakkal Manoharan, which the same article creator hijacked previously. Appears to fail WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG.
- Manoj Thonipurakkal Manoharan: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 17:01, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This article was recently hijacked and I reverted this vandalism. I also reverted an old edit where false stats were added to the infobox. When doing this, however, I noticed that none of the sources comply with WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. This appears to be a footballer that played a cup game for Chirag United then disappeared into the lower levels and didn't come back. I couldn't find any decent coverage under his full name nor "Manoj Manoharan" nor "TM Manoj".
- 2018 Women's Bandy World Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Zyxw (talk · contribs) 19:12, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Essentially a list of full names and, in some cases, DOB of non-notable people. Does not seem to meet WP:LISTN or WP:GNG as the statement has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources does not seem to apply. It also doesn't even have any navigational purpose since there is only one blue link in the entire article. I don't even think that it warrants merging into 2018 Women's Bandy World Championship as it's just too much information about non-notable people.
- Kanan Jafarov: nominated at AfD; notified Shahdag (talk · contribs) 09:42, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any good sources relating to this footballer within the guidelines of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG when searching "Kanan Jafarov" or "Kənan Cəfərov". Best I can find are stats pages like Soccerway and Football Database. His senior career to date seems to consist of one cup game and no league games.
- Miguel Di Pizio: nominated at AfD; notified JC Kotisow (talk · contribs) 10:32, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was previously in draft but moved back by creator. Di Pizio still does not seem to pass WP:GNG and a source analysis will shortly follow. Please note that he appears to be mentioned in The Daily Telegraph but I am unable to access that article due to a paywall. Please note that GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC both need more than one source so, even if that source does contain significant coverage, it's not enough on its own.
- Reza Bigdeloo: nominated at AfD; notified Shahdag (talk · contribs) 10:47, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any decent coverage in Persian (رضا بیگدلو) and the article currently fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I note that his name seems to transliterate to "Reza Biqbelo" rather than the one used in the article. Nevertheless, I can find no WP:SIGCOV under any version of his name. Stats sites like Mackolik and Soccerway are all I can find and none of them indicate anything about his career that would make him likely to be notable. The NFT 'source' contains no significant coverage nor does it truly back up the claim made. In any case, even if the claim is true about him being the first Iranian footballer to have an NFT, it doesn't guarantee an article on its own, he would still need to have SIGCOV.
- 2017 CONIFA European Football Cup squads: nominated at AfD; notified Decok121 (talk · contribs) 18:51, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: List that doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:LISTN as I can't find any independent sources covering this. The tournament itself is notable but that doesn't automatically mean that the squad list is notable. I'm not even convinced that this meets WP:V, a Wikipedia policy. I found RSSSF but this lists the match day squads rather than the full squads of players called up for the actual tournament.
- Sigma International English School: nominated at AfD; notified Xuniladhikary (talk · contribs) 21:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- Haldibari Higher Secondary School: nominated at AfD; notified Xuniladhikary (talk · contribs) 22:07, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can find nothing outside of the school's own Facebook page and Edusanjal, neither of which confirm notability. Does not seem to pass WP:NORG or WP:GNG. Please do not confuse this school with Haldibari High School in West Bengal, which might be notable.
- Yaghob Eissa: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 20:59, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played half a match of football then disappeared. Searching in Arabic (يعقوب عيسى) did not yield any WP:SIGCOV and all I can find were the database sites Kooora and Soccerway, both already cited. It would appear that this footballer fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5 and should be deleted.
- Samuel Biscaia: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 13:13, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 2 games as a professional then disappeared into the amateur, local tiers. I'm not seeing any coverage sufficient to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC in my searches. I found a Wordpress blog which is not WP:RS. In reliable sources, the best seem to be Terranova, a contract renewal announcement which claims to copy a quote from Biscaia from the club's website, so is lacking significant, independent coverage. I also found Ovar News, a quote from Biscaia with no third party analysis, and Radio AVFM, which mentions him twice in passing.
- Ali Omari: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 13:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC and was unable to locate any significant coverage in Persian (علی عمری).
- Karlshrue College: nominated at AfD; notified 151.141.84.120 (talk · contribs) 08:41, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything when searching "Karlshrue College" or "කාල්ෂ්රූ විද්යාලය" that would satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NORG. Best I found was Janta Review which has no meaningful info. Article has been unsourced since 2005 and tagged for improvement since 2009 so an AfD is well overdue here since I can't find a way of bringing this up to even the minimum standard.
- Jordan Orru: nominated at AfD; notified ScottishFootballObseasive (talk · contribs) 19:37, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro Scottish footballer with no evidence to support a claim to WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. The interview cited in the article is published by Dunfermline Athletic, his employer at the time, so is clearly not independent. In my WP:BEFORE, I found Daily Record 1 and Daily Record 2, both of which are trivial mentions. This player is an internet-era footballer in a developed country. If significant coverage is not found online then I highly doubt that he is notable.
- 2020 Women's Bandy World Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Zyxw (talk · contribs) 19:53, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: List of non-notable sportspeople with no indication of meeting WP:LISTN nor any actual benefit to the encyclopaedia. PROD would likely be contested based on some similar PRODs that I've done recently. I oppose merging to 2020 Women's Bandy World Championship on the basis that the article is completely unsourced. I can't think of any good reason to keep this.
- Christoforos Kourtis: nominated at AfD; notified Minas7 (talk · contribs) 19:06, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can find no evidence to support a passing of the bare minimum of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 for Kourtis. The best that I can find are Sigma Live, a copy of a press release from AEK, Sigma Live 2, which only mentions him twice along with other players, and Kerkida, another copy of an AEK press release. There does not appear to be any worthwhile independent coverage that would justify a stand-alone article in a global encyclopaedia.
- Pawira Putra: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 19:15, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP with no evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC #5 or WP:GNG. An Indonesian search yielded only stats sites and Wikipedia mirror sites. Viva was the best source that I could find, but it's only a mention in a squad list.
- Oldřich Pragr: nominated at AfD; notified Pospeak (talk · contribs) 19:39, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Not finding any coverage towards WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC so far in his career. Best sources seem to be Denik, Nova and eFotbal, none of which cover Pragr in any true depth at all.
- Awareness International Academy: nominated at AfD; notified Aryalpaw (talk · contribs) 08:17, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any decent sourcing in either English or Nepali (जागरूकता अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय एकेडेमी) to show WP:NORG or WP:GNG. Current article has no independent sources and is borderline WP:PROMO. In fact, removing the PROMO would leave only one sentence. The only source of any note that I could find was Kpadhne but this doesn't look like independent WP:RS at all as there is no evidence of editorial oversight. Also, the Kpadhne is full of PROMO sentences like If you are residing in the Shankhamul area then, Awareness International Academy can be the best school choice for your children and Awareness International Academy is one of the best private school located in Shankhamul which you would not usually find in RS.
- Brighter Star Secondary School: nominated at AfD; notified Sm.moun (talk · contribs) 08:26, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Izidor Balažič: nominated at AfD; notified Lglukgl (talk · contribs) 08:56, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I couldn't find anything that would allow Balažič to pass WP:GNG or the much lower bar of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Even a Slovenian source search doesn't yield anything decent about the footballer of this name. Best I can find is a trivial mention in a website run by his former employer.
- Latt Wai Phone: nominated at AfD; notified Nattaw211198 (talk · contribs) 09:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability by User:Onel5969 but removed almost immediately after by an IP editor with no explanation or improvements made. Looks to be a clear case of failing WP:SPORTBASIC #5 and the consensus within the community is that such articles should be deleted, especially if a BLP. Best sources in my searches were GNLM and Myanmar Digital Newspaper (translated), both of which only mention him once, so are blatantly not WP:SIGCOV.
- Table tennis at the 1984 Summer Olympics: nominated at AfD; notified 2605:BA00:4138:445:1974:CACD:E09D:A640 (talk · contribs) 09:47, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Table tennis was not a demonstration sport at the 1984 Olympics. All this content relates to the 1988 Games. was the reasoning by User:Nthep. The content is identical to Table tennis at the 1988 Summer Olympics, from the medal tables to the sources used. I can't find any reliable source that says this event even took place, so we could even maybe make an argument that this could be deleted on hoax grounds.
- Soliai Letutusa: nominated at AfD; notified Alanten19 (talk · contribs) 11:53, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence that Letutusa meets WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The sources cited don't seem to mention him. In my searches, I can find the usual database sites which confirm that he exists but do not confer notability. Oceania Football mentions him as an unused sub in a game and Samoa Observer has an image caption mentioning him, both far from WP:SIGCOV. Other than that, I found Oceania Football Center which also mentions him just once.
- Softball at the 1920 Summer Olympics: nominated at AfD; notified 2605:BA00:4138:445:1974:CACD:E09D:A640 (talk · contribs) 16:16, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD. Article is a hoax created by a serial hoaxer IP account that managed to get through AfC with no sources actually verifying the event. The article is copied entirely from Baseball at the 1912 Summer Olympics, with the only changes being the year and the location. Softball didn't feature at the Olympics until 1996. Everything that this article discusses is about a baseball game 8 years prior that already has its own article so this one should just be deleted.
- Karawita Central College: nominated at AfD; notified Mudithachampika (talk · contribs) 17:37, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Schools need to pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG or, preferably, both. I can find no evidence that this school meets criteria. I have tried searching in English and also "කරවිට මධය මහ වදුහල", both of which just yielded social media and other unreliable sites. I did find School 3411 but the content appears to be written by someone from the school so it isn't independent.
- Dávid Gyenes: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 18:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 3 games as a professional about a decade ago then disappeared. Best sources that I can find in the news are Blikk, which mentions him twice in passing, and Nemzeti Sport, a basic transfer announcement. All the other hits seem to just be match reports and stats sites. There is an ice hockey player with the same name but, according to Erste Liga, the ice hockey player was born in Miskolc in 1992, so is clearly not the same person. I can't find any coverage on the footballer that would be sufficient for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Orkhan Farajov: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 18:15, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find anything satisfying WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC in my searches. Best sources seem to be SIA, a trivial mention, Sportal (translated), a basic transfer rumour with no depth, and [https://qol.az/?name=xeber&news_id=137787 QOL, a mention in a squad list.
- The Most Racist Soccer League in the World: nominated at AfD; notified Nyi2ag (talk · contribs) 19:35, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Should be deleted as per User:JML1148 Appears to be exclusively the opinions of the page creator. Unfit to be on Wikipedia, but I don't think it comes under any of the CSD criteria. The PROD was removed during a hijacking of the article, which I have since reverted. Article violates WP:NOR and WP:SOAPBOX as the article creator is clearly using Wikipedia as a vehicle to promote their own point of view. We already have Racism in association football but I don't believe that this would be a plausible redirect so would prefer outright deletion.
- Mr Broken Heart Music: nominated at AfD; notified DJ CatzZ (talk · contribs) 19:44, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify x2 (first by User:BoyTheKingCanDance then secondly by User:UtherSRG, both times the creator reverted the move). No significant coverage presented and none found in a search; only unacceptable self-published stuff like SoundCloud and Issuewire, which count for nothing. Doesn't seem to pass WP:NMUSIC either.
- Mathew Agama: nominated at AfD; notified Ampimd (talk · contribs) 17:29, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: All 4 of the current references are trivial mentions and I can find nothing in my searches that demonstrates a clear passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC for this BLP. Football Ghana mentions the club he plays for, his position and has a quote from him with no independent analysis. Ghana Sports Page has a tiny bit of analysis and has one additional piece of info compared to the previous source, that he joined the club last season. The quote from the player is the same as in the previous article and is just pre-match hype rather than anything to build a biography from. Aside from that, the coverage I can find is just trivial stuff like Modern Ghana so I'm not seeing any clear reason why this person needs an article.
- Xhersild Haka: nominated at AfD; notified SmackJam (talk · contribs) 17:39, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite his entire career being in the internet era, I was unable to find any significant coverage which would allow the subject to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The latter explicitly states that articles such as this must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources, which does not seem to be met here.
- Patrick Bijou: nominated at AfD; notified Eimpis (talk · contribs) 20:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Convicted fraudster who once featured in The Times for posing as a UN ambassador and a lot of UK tabloids like the Daily Mail and Birmingham Mail previously ran with the same story as well but, to be honest, The Times is the only robust WP:RS that I can find that ever mentioned Bijou. The two IBT articles [14] and [15] are clearly unreliable as they are written by contributors rather than journalists and are hugely promotional. WP:CRIME lists two ways in which perpetrators can qualify for a stand-alone article; Bijou is certainly not a renowned national or international figure nor is his crime unusual enough to warrant its own article. Plenty of people in history have pretended to be other people and I'm just not seeing the sustained coverage needed. Most of the tabloid stories are from April 2022 and from UK press and seem to discuss the exact same thing; that isn't sustained international coverage.
- CM Scientific English High School: nominated at AfD; notified Target2020 (talk · contribs) 09:45, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: English-medium institution with no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:NORG. Schools are required to pass one of the above or, preferably, both. My searches yielded Facebook, Wikipedia mirrors and Bharatpedia, which is user-generated. The current references fail to establish notability as the first one is Facebook, Indiacom contains no coverage other than the school's name and location and [chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://bsem.nic.in/downloads/affiliated.pdf BSEM list] is just an exhaustive list of schools in Manipur, mentioning this school once. I can't see any reason why this school, out of the hundreds or possibly thousands in that list of schools in Manipur, warrants an article of its own.
- Maipakpi Memorial Academy: nominated at AfD; notified Target2020 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Ioannis Tsoutsouki: nominated at AfD; notified Demetrissss (talk · contribs) 08:51, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined a few times at Draft:Ioannis Tsoutsouki and this current version is no improvement. No evidence of WP:GNG or even the low bar of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 when searching in Greek (Ιωάννης Τσουτσούκης or Ιωάννης Τσουτσούκη). Phile News mentions him twice in an article based on an Instagram post from his employer. Sigma Live mentions him once, commenting that he has debuted. Kerkida (translated) mentions that he scored 4 goals in an under-19 fixture, without adding any further depth at all.
- Stavros Georgiou (footballer, born 2004): nominated at AfD; notified Demetrissss (talk · contribs) 09:06, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was previously sent to draft at Draft:Stavros Georgiou (footballer, born 2004) and then submitted and declined with no improvement. This current version also doesn't address the issues and the subject still looks to fall short of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best sources that I could find in Greek were Alpha News, a copy and paste of a contract renewal press release issued by his employer, APOEL. Sport FM is also the same thing as above. Thema Sports mentions him in an under-19 match report, commenting that he scored 3 goals but the article does not address Georgiou in enough detail to build a meaningful biography.
- D R Parajuli: nominated at AfD; notified Nplz (talk · contribs) 11:36, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Lack of significant coverage, including searching in Nepali ("डिल्ली राम पराजुली"). Also does not seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN or any other relevant SNG. User:Nplz/Dilli Ram Parajuli is a slightly better version of this article but it still contains no decent sources that we can use to confer notability. In my own searches, the best source that I can find is The Peninsula, which mentions him as a winner of a raffle at Doha International Airport. Not enough for me.
- Abdulaziz Al-Jalabi: nominated at AfD; notified Momofeee (talk · contribs) 14:59, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to fail WP:SPORTBASIC #5 according to my Arabic searches. The best that I can find are [اخبار/تقارير-و-تحقيقات/استعاد-صدارة-المجموعة-الثانية-الريان Stad Doha], a squad list mention, and Al Khaleej, which mentions him once in a list of players.
- 2020 Myanmar National League statistics: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 17:49, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of 2023 MNL statistics. Unnecessary WP:NOTSTATS article.Excessive listing of stats in addition to 2020 Myanmar National League, which is already significant enough on its own in terms of stats and we do not need any more stats articles on this subject. This article exhaustively lists every single goal scorer, assist and clean sheet in the entire season, which is too much in my view. For seasons of other leagues, the agreed standard is to have a separate section of the main season article dedicated to stats and only listing the goal scorers and clean sheets above a sensible cut-off point.See 2019–20 Premier League#Season statistics and 2019–20 Serie A#Season statistics as model examples of how this should look. 2020 Myanmar National League is fine as it is and this redundant extra stats article can just be deleted as there is no consensus that these are necessary.
- Beysim Beysim: nominated at AfD; notified Dfotev (talk · contribs) 19:56, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Same sort of case as Isus Angelov. There are trivial mentions in a few places but nothing that can be considered as WP:SIGCOV. Beysim doesn't seem to even meet the minimum of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. All 4 references used are trivial mentions. My own searches yielded more of the same. Gong mentions the player in two lists but does not address him in depth. Blitz merely says Besim Besim scored the only goal in the 85th minute. Xnews is just a simple passing mention in a match report. Those were the best sources that I could find.
June 2023
[edit]- Naeem Ad: nominated at AfD; notified Zainad1 (talk · contribs) 18:17, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any decent sources in Urdu or English. Subject is a BLP so needs high quality sourcing to justify an article. The article is referenced entirely to self-published sources with the exception of Tribune and Galaxy Lollywood both of which don't mention Naeem Ad at all.
- Betinho (footballer, born 1994): nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 18:29, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played in one cup game as a professional but, since then, has played mostly as an amateur and only briefly as a semi-pro. Please do not confuse him with this Betinho who was once accidentally linked with Man United, that one is Betinho (footballer, born 1993). Searching his full name yielded database coverage and one passing mention in Ojogo, all of which counts for nothing in terms of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. After searching for an eternity in Portuguese sources, the best that I can find are Record 1 and Record 2, both trivial mentions of Betinho that fail to establish any notability.
- Taras Zavadovych: nominated at AfD; notified Andriyrussu (talk · contribs) 18:41, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played a small number of games in the 3rd tier of Ukraine but nothing else and, since WP:NFOOTBALL is no longer linked to WP:FPL, those games alone don't demonstrate notability. Based on my Ukrainian searches giving nothing better than PFL, a trivial mention in a birthday announcement from a non-independent source, Rayon, which mentions him only twice, and Volyn Sport, a local source that only mentions him once, I can't see a passing of WP:SPORTBASIC #5, a lower bar than WP:GNG, which he also does not seem to meet.
- Richard Bangwe: nominated at AfD; notified BigDom (talk · contribs) 17:46, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I would have preferred to PROD this but it looks like most PRODs are being removed currently so I'll AfD it to save the hassle. According to NFT, which seems to be the only source I can find on him, he made an inconsequential 8 minute cameo against Lesotho and has done nothing since. Fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5 as far as I can see; Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.
- Oneeleng Radikara: nominated at AfD; notified BigDom (talk · contribs) 18:27, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD by User:JoeNMLC Cite has one mention in game statistics; lacks WP:SIGCOV; Lacks sufficient citations to reliable sourcesPROD was removed without any significant coverage being added. The only source that I can find is Mmegi, a trivial mention. No decent coverage found while searching "Six Radikara" either. Radikara seems to fail WP:SPORTBASIC. There is nowhere to redirect or merge to as he is not mentioned in any other articles nor should he be.
- Fábio Santos (footballer, born 1994): nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 19:32, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His main claim to fame is a 33 minute inconsequential cameo in a cup game over a decade ago. Since then, he has not played any further minutes at the professional level and coverage seems to be trivial at best. Record has an article that mentions him but it merely confirms that he is signing for Moncarapachense and that he used to play for Culatrense. Portugal Resident also mentions him trivially regarding the exact same transfer. Based on the above, he would fail WP:SPORTBASIC #5 and WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage from independent, reliable sources.
- Manager Hasan's World Tales: nominated at AfD; notified Ali R. Abbas (talk · contribs) 09:05, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: YouTube educational series but without any significant coverage cited, moved out of draft space by creator without any valid sources. YouTube series are not automatically notable as anyone can make one. In my own WP:BEFORE search, I was also completely unable to find any decent coverage of this series. At best, seems to be WP:TOOSOON as there is no apparent media coverage yet.
- Andrés Felipe Acosta: nominated at AfD; notified Juandherrera (talk · contribs) 09:29, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. I found La Nación, which might be the same Acosta, but is only a passing mention. There are plenty of namesakes. I thought that El Diario was an article about him but the age and place of birth do not match the goalkeeper that is the subject of this Wikipedia article so this source must be ignored. The only other sources that I found were Soccerway and the unreliable Transfermarkt, neither of which bring anything to the table in terms of notability.
- Carlos Atehortúa: nominated at AfD; notified Juandherrera (talk · contribs) 09:51, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Former Millonarios youth academy player that doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC; he doesn't seem to have had any kind of notable professional career at all. El Tiempo mentions him in passing in 2008, confirming his release from the club. I can't find any other news coverage in Colombian media. The Futbol Talentos source cited is unreliable as anyone can edit it. It does, however, suggest that he played in Bolivia. My Bolivian searches yield some hits like Los Tiempos, El Día and EA Bolivia but none of these are examples of WP:SIGCOV. ProQuest had two trivial mentions: EFE and El Espectador.
- Charalampos Loizou: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 17:53, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to fall short of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 according to my searches in more than one language. Turkish searches yielded nothing better than Spor Yeni and Arena Sporkolik, both of which are only trivial mentions of Loizou. Greek searches (Χαράλαμπος Λοϊζου) yielded nothing better than a few passing mentions published by CFA, such as this one, which is trivial coverage in a non-independent source. All of the other hits seemed to be about namesakes.
- Abdulaziz Al-Dhiyabi: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 18:09, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP created by banned editor and edited occasionally by their socks. No evidence of complying with WP:SPORTBASIC #5, which would be the bare minimum requirement. Best Arabic sources that I could find were El Sport, a basic transfer announcement, Sport KSA, a similarly weak transfer announcement, the only significant detail being a portion copied from his club's own press release and Arriyadiyah, an image caption.
- 2015–16 Hereford F.C. season: nominated at AfD; notified Pascopedral (talk · contribs) 19:20, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: 9th tier season that doesn't qualify for a stand-alone article. This topic is already covered sufficiently in Hereford F.C., which, somewhat ironically, covers this season in a much better way than the stand-alone article! Previous PROD logged by User:Number 57 for failing WP:NSEASONS, however, was not eligible as previously deleted with rationale Doesn't pass WP:GNG. Also WikiProject Football cut-off point for club season article is level 5 at least (i.e. fully professional club).All reasons above seem like valid deletion reasons to me.
- Stiven Pulgarín: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 08:59, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His achievements fall significantly short of WP:NBAD and the coverage in my searches is not enough for WP:GNG. I found Crónica, which mentions him in the title, but the article itself barely discusses him in any detail. The same news source has a few other articles that mention him in passing, like this one. Unfortunately, no amount of passing mentions add up to a passing of GNG. The lack of coverage isn't surprising given that he has never even ranked within the top 500.
- Rumiana Ivanova: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 09:07, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Achievements insufficient for WP:NBAD and the coverage is way short of WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I have searched Bulgarian sources and found nothing better than Gong, which mentions her once, Blitz, which also mentions her once, this time as a wedding guest, and Sportal, which mentions her twice in a results summary. All of the news hits seem to be passing mentions in articles that focus more on notable players like Petya Nedelcheva and Linda Zetchiri. Ivanova doesn't seem to have her own dedicated coverage.
- Sewa Sadan English Boarding School: nominated at AfD; notified Gaourabh (talk · contribs) 12:41, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Per WP:NSCHOOL, schools should meet either WP:NORG or WP:GNG but this institution doesn't seem to meet either. Mero Sewa is written in a promotional tone and doesn't appear to be WP:RS nor is the depth substantial enough. Jimdofree also doesn't seem to be independent of the subject as it asks for financial contributions to help rebuild the school towards the end of the text. I found no decent sources in Nepali either (सेवा सदन अंग्रेजी बोर्डिङ स्कूल) not that we would expect any for an English medium school.
- List of secondary schools of Rupandehi district: nominated at AfD; notified Unscintillating (talk · contribs) 13:01, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I am struggling to see how this isn't a violation of WP:NOTDIR as it is literally a directory of every single secondary school in just one out of the 77 districts of Nepal. I can't find anything to suggest that the secondary schools in this district are a distinctive enough phenomenon to require an exhaustive list of every single one of them. The list itself doesn't seem to meet any of the three purposes listed under WP:LISTPURP either. Similar deletions have taken place with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Misiones, Paraguay, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Gombe State and even Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Venezuela, a list of schools in an entire country rather than just a small district. In my view, List of schools in Nepal is sufficient and we shouldn't be encouraging people to do directory lists for each of the 77 districts.
- List of schools in Sejong City: nominated at AfD; notified WhisperToMe (talk · contribs) 13:15, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing why we need an exhaustive list of schools for this city. The topic seems to be a violation of WP:NOTDIR Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed. Also this policy discourages simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopaedic merit. List also fails WP:LISTN due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV about this group of schools as a group. The local government website for Sejong is not an acceptable source as it's clearly not independent of the subject. This article only seems to have two notable schools (to be honest, even those two schools might be non-notable) so the list is not a useful index. Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Asunción, Paraguay and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Riobamba among many others.
- Orideetse Thela: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 10:39, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC states and I see no evidence that Thela meets this minimum requirement. Le Mauricien has a trivial mention of Thela, as does Le Défi and Le Mauricien 2 but trivial mentions are the exact opposite of significant coverage (see also WP:SIGCOV). He also seems to fall short of the recently revised WP:NBAD.
- Georgia Koskeridou: nominated at AfD; notified Putellas2 (talk · contribs) 20:05, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD by User:TimothyBlue which I endorsed as we are not a Soccerway mirror site. Recreated in what appears to be the exact same form, with no attempt to address the issues. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Appears to be a footballer playing at a very low level in the Greek women's football system with no claim to notability whatsoever. In Greek searches, I found only trivial coverage. Sport Drama is a copy of a press release from Amazones Dramas and is clearly not independent of Koskeridou. Xronika Dramas is probably the best source but it's nothing more than a quote from her, a squad listing and two passing mentions in the minute-by-minute match summary. Aelole (translated) mentions her once. Proinos Typos mentions her twice in passing. None of the above demonstrates the need for a stand-alone article, especially for a player with such an insignificant career. Should her career take an upward turn and if significant coverage is ever produced, then this can be recreated.
- Qais Khedri: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 22:23, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Same sort of case as Ali Jan Faizi and Mohammad Fazel Bratyan. No sources found by searching in Persian (قیس خدری) or English. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, the latter clearly stating that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.
- Akuressa Maha Vidyalaya: nominated at AfD; notified Sudarshani (talk · contribs) 19:08, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Schools need to pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG. My searches in English and Sinhala didn't yield anything that was clear significant coverage. The best that I could find was Dinamina (translated) but this isn't enough on its own.
- Stella Knekna: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 17:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NBAD and I can find no evidence of passing WP:GNG either. Best sources that I can find are Ant1Live, which mentions her once, Cypriot Squash Federation, which also only mentions her once, and Sigma Live, which mentions her three times in a listing of winners of an event but provides no prose about her. I can't find anything that we can build a biography from.
- Moch. Bahrudin: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 13:54, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources is what WP:SPORTBASIC states as the bare minimum requirement for a sportsperson to have an article. I can find no evidence that this footballer meets this requirement and even an Indonesian source search yields no sources that could be used to expand the article on this footballer.
- Dharmaraja Vidyalaya: nominated at AfD; notified Shyamantha Perera (talk · contribs) 12:18, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: All of my searches in English and Sinhala ("ධර්මරාජ විද්යාලය" + හෝමාගම) don't seem to yield any decent coverage for this to pass WP:GNG and WP:NORG or at least one of those guidelines. There is plenty about the notable Dharmaraja College in Kandy but I can't find anything about the school of the same name in or near Homagama. It probably exists but whether or not it warrants an article, particularly an unsourced one, is highly questionable. Article created by WP:SPA.
- Maradhoo Feydhoo School: nominated at AfD; notified Mishal Mushahid (talk · contribs) 12:39, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This article was initially an advertisement for the school written by an WP:SPA but the promotional stuff later got purged. There are no reliable sources currently cited and I wasn't able to find any sources satisfying WP:GNG or WP:NORG in my own searches. AO News (translated from Dhivehi) was the best that I could find and it's nowhere near good enough on its own.
- Ihor Hrytsyuk: nominated at AfD; notified Andriyrussu (talk · contribs) 12:59, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC tells us is a requirement for any footballer to have their own article. Whilst I note that this footballer has an article on Ukrainian Wikipedia, all of the references used there are just database sources. The only non-database source that I could find in Ukrainian was Rayon, which is only a trivial mention of Hrytsyuk.
- Omar Al Hamwi: nominated at AfD; notified Charles87 (talk · contribs) 11:10, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article has been tagged for multiple issues for many years and I cannot find evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The Psyrianp source has a quote from him and, other than that, just confirms his age, position and former club. On its own, this won't be sufficient, especially since quotes directly from the player are not considered to be WP:SIGCOV at AfD, by consensus. Aside from that, I found Al Rai, which is only a trivial mention.
- Mohamad Jaamour: nominated at AfD; notified Bo yaser (talk · contribs) 11:42, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC tells us is a requirement for any footballer to have their own article. I've revived the Syrian Soccer article but it's only a trivial squad list mention. Kooora merely lists his goals in the Syria Youth League and is only a database source. I found some Arabic coverage on Facebook but that's not a WP:RS. The only other source that I found was ZAMANALWSL, which is another trivial mention.
- Janaki Yugantar English Boarding School: nominated at AfD; notified Janakiyuganatar (talk · contribs) 18:31, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously kept 10 years ago in this discussion. The only basis for keeping was because of a presumption of notability for secondary schools, which no longer applies following a discussion that can be found at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. The only supporting reference was the school's own website, which clearly fails WP:ORGIND. I can find no evidence of passing WP:NORG or WP:GNG in Nepali (जानकी युगान्तर इङ्लिस बोर्डिङ स्कुल) or English, I would expect some sourcing in the latter if this is a notable school as English is the medium used by this school. All I can find are Wikipedia mirrors and the school's own Facebook page, which seems to have replaced their website, which looks to have been shut down.
- Deokota Memorial School: nominated at AfD; notified Lobbysss2 (talk · contribs) 18:54, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Not to be confused with Devkota Memorial Higher Secondary School, which is a different school according to a comment at Talk:Devkota Memorial Higher Secondary School. My searches in English and Nepali (देवकोटा मेमोरियल स्कूल) did not yield anything that counts towards WP:GNG or WP:NORG. The best that I can find is a trivial mention in Pokhara Post (see translated version).
- Devkota Memorial Higher Secondary School: nominated at AfD; notified Illuminatihacker (talk · contribs) 19:01, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was initially proposed for deletion based on being a copy of Deokota Memorial School but this was contested. This article still makes no claim to notability and shows no signs of passing WP:GNG or WP:NORG. The best source that I can find in English is Kaha6, which is a basic database page. In Nepali, I can only find trivial mentions like News Abhiyan (translated) and Edukhabar (translated).
- Aung Kyaw Htwe: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 23:18, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC tells us is a requirement for any footballer to have their own article. I can find no evidence that this footballer meets the above guideline as I could not locate WP:SIGCOV in Burmese or English. The only relevant hits that I can get are database sources like Soccerway, which specifically does not confer notability per above.

[edit]- Ionuț Movileanu: nominated at AfD; notified Zadus (talk · contribs) 10:37, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC tells us is a requirement for any sportsperson to have their own article. The sources cited fall way short of requirements. The best sources that I can find are Digi Sport, a trivial mention in a match report about scoring a goal, Red Bull, which mentions him once, and Monitorul, which also mentions him only once.
- Rufat Balakishiyev: nominated at AfD; notified Zadus (talk · contribs) 11:04, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I am not able to locate any reliable sources addressing Balakishiyev directly and in detail. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Behar Berisha: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 11:20, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Regio Fussball is a trivial mention. I've revived the two dead links in the article but both are examples of trivial coverage: see Gazeta Dita and Illyria Press, neither of which discuss Berisha in any detail and merely list him among other players. BeSoccer is just a database source so doesn't confer notability, it records him plying his trade in the 2. Liga Interregional, the amateur fifth tier of Swiss football, so it's not surprising that there's so little written about him.
- Udayagiriya Vidyalaya: nominated at AfD; notified Udayagiriya (talk · contribs) 11:48, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thobo Kgoboge: nominated at AfD; notified BigDom (talk · contribs) 13:24, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His claim to fame seems to be playing half an hour of a 2-0 loss to Mozambique. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources are Sunday Standard, Mmegi 1 and Mmegi 2, all of which are trivial mentions of Kgoboge.
- Darin Andonov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 15:21, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC tells us is a requirement for any sportsperson to have their own article. My Bulgarian searches did not produce any WP:SIGCOV. The best sources that I could find were Gong, Blitz and BTV, all of which are reliable sources but none address Andonov in any detail at all.
- Erik Arutiunian: nominated at AfD; notified Keroks (talk · contribs) 17:39, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His level of play doesn't seem to have reached the necessary level to meet WP:NTENNIS (Davis Cup having been removed a while ago). My searches in Belarusian (Эрик Арутюнян) are not giving any clear indication that he meets WP:GNG either. Head has information about him but Head is Arutiunian's sponsor so it is not a reliable, independent source due to their connection. Other than that, I can only find match reports like tennis.by and Minsk News, neither of which go into any detail about him as an individual. Probably WP:TOOSOON at best.
- Under one roof Filmography: nominated at AfD; notified Руслан Махлейд (talk · contribs) 17:49, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The article has no sources and I can't find any evidence that this series of films ever existed. My searches are coming up with nothing at all. The articles Went to California and Late Dinner claim that the films were released in the US and Japan and many notable people were involved in their production, so coverage should be easy to find if these were ever genuine films.
- Aung Min Khant (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 15:56, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP, with only a database source used. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Nothing found in English except database sources and Facebook. Burmese searches, including those in conjunction with his club, Ayeyawady (ဧရာဝတီယူနိုက်တက်), yielded nothing of any significance. I found plenty on Aung Min Khant but nothing on the footballer of this name.
- Aung Moe Htwe: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 16:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches in English yielded only US Soccer Players, a trivial mention about being an unused sub in a youth fixture, and ASEAN Football, a trivial match report mention. Burmese searches (အောင်မိုးထွေး) were similarly unsuccessful. The best that I could find were Mizzima (translated), a squad list mention, Myanmar Digital Newspaper, which mentions him once, and The MNL (translated), which mentions him just once. Being mentioned once in an article is absolutely not WP:SIGCOV.
- Abdulhadi Khalaf (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Firas1977 (talk · contribs) 22:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC tells us is a requirement for any sportsperson to have their own article. The best that I can find in Syrian source searches are Syrian Days, which has a passing mention of his own goal, Shahba News mentions him in a list of footballers, and Thawra, which mentions him only once. I can't find any WP:SIGCOV.
- Artem Kaminsky: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 13:18, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created due to playing 16 minutes of professional football before playing briefly as a semi-pro and then retiring. I was not able to find any examples of WP:SIGCOV either on the Belarusian Wikipedia article or when searching the Belarusian or Russian versions of his name, which isn't surprising given how brief and uneventful his career looks to have been. The Russian searches gave me plenty about an actor of the same name, who might well be notable, but nothing about this footballer.
- Saleh Al-Kaany: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 13:30, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. is what WP:SPORTBASIC tells us is a requirement for any sportsperson to have their own article. This article has 5 references but 3 of them are database sources, one is Facebook and the Al-Arabiya source doesn't mention the footballer at all. My own searches yielded only sources like Al-Watan, a trivial mention, and Al-Sharq, a squad list mention.
- Nijat Mammadov (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 14:04, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I could not find any in-depth coverage of Mammadov in English or Azerbaijani. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5.

- Reason: Long-term 'Bickerz'/'Bickerton' hoax/abuse. There is no such person and he certainly doesn't have over 4 million subscribers nor over 500 million views. This vandalism has also been a real problem at Simple English Wikipedia: see Alexander Bickerton, Alexander Lukinson and Paul Bickerz. You can also see many other hoax articles just by searching the following: Bickerz and Bickerton. I understand that normal notability doesn't apply in draft space but, nevertheless, we should stamp out blatant hoaxes and vanity junk like this.
- Draft:Alexander Lukinson: nominated at MfD; notified 2A02:C7C:DAAE:A400:4DA1:2230:5AD7:B669 (talk · contribs) 21:24, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Long-term 'Bickerz'/'Bickerton' hoax/abuse. This vandalism has also been a real problem at Simple English Wikipedia: see Alexander Bickerton, Alexander Lukinson and Paul Bickerz. You can also see many other hoax articles within the same WP:WALLEDGARDEN fantasy just by searching the following: Bickerz and Bickerton. We should stamp out blatant hoaxes and vanity junk like this. If people agree to deleting this, then I would also propose that we delete all of the other Bickerz/Bickerton articles under WP:G3.
- Teodor Atanasov (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Jordanson (talk · contribs) 15:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Isus Angelov. Badly sourced BLP with no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Bulgarian searches yielded Top Sport, a passing mention of him, simply mentioning his injury, Varna 24, a brief transfer announcement, simply mentioning that he transferred from Germany to Cherno More, and Blitz, an image caption followed by a trivial match report mention. None of these types of sources contribute to GNG.
- Francisco Andra: nominated at AfD; notified Ulof4 (talk · contribs) 11:07, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced BLP on a former footballer. A Chilean source search failed to provide any suitable sources for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best source that I can find is Soccerway, a database source which SPORTBASIC specifically says does not confer notability.
- José Jorquera: nominated at AfD; notified Ulof4 (talk · contribs) 11:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP not currently showing evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC #5, given that only a database source is used. Spanish Wikipedia and my own WP:BEFORE does not show that any decent sources exist. Even a Chilean source search did not seem to yield anything decent about the Chilean goalkeeper of this name.
- Ahmad Nasir Safi: nominated at AfD; notified Rooyintan (talk · contribs) 17:58, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I found no sources in ProQuest or internet searches, including Persian searches. He played at a very low level in Germany but I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV there either. Does not seem to pass WP:SPORTBASIC #5, which is the minimum requirement for any sportsperson.
- Gabriele Bernasconi: nominated at AfD; notified Ugen64 (talk · contribs) 18:10, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer that has played mostly in the 4th and 5th tiers of Swiss football and has no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. In my searches, I found Urner Wochenblatt, which is just an image caption, and Chalcio. The independent content in the Chalcio article is just (translated) With Gabriele Bernasconi – the least beaten goalkeeper among those in the six rounds of the category ... Raised in Lugano as a footballer, our (Photo AC Taverne) made it all the way through the Juventus youth academy and three years in the first team. The rest is just pure Q&A and quotes. Even if this article were considered acceptable, GNG and SPORTBASIC require multiple sources showing significant coverage.
- Mohammed Haruna: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 18:34, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This BLP is very poorly sourced and shows no sign of passing WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. There are passing mentions of a footballer for King Faisal with this name, see Ghana Sports Page, but stats sites like Pulse Sports confirm that this other Haruna was born in 2002. Neither player of this name seems to have sufficient coverage for an article and certainly the 1988 one is not notable.
- Delta Gemunupura College: nominated at AfD; notified Chathura prabhashwara 0 (talk · contribs) 18:53, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: All of my searches in English and Sinhala (ඩෙල්ටා ගැමුණුපුර විද්යාලය) don't seem to yield any decent coverage for this to pass WP:GNG and WP:NORG or at least one of those guidelines. All that seems to come up is the school's own Facebook account and basic database entries like Lanka Information, none of which confer any notability. Furthermore, the article was created by a problematic WP:SPA and spam account that has repeatedly tried to promote this school here. See User talk:Chathura prabhashwara 0.
- Detelin Cheneshkov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 19:04, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. According to the one source cited, he played 6 games at professional level but that alone isn't enough for notability, which requires WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. Best Bulgarian sources found were Gong, a single passing mention, Borba, a match report mentioning him as a goalscorer, Darik News, a trivial mention, and Blitz, another trivial mention.
- Abdulaziz Al-Faraj: nominated at AfD; notified Qautro (talk · contribs) 12:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer that was previously deleted last summer and this new version does nothing to address the previous reasons for deletion. The best sources found in an Arabic WP:BEFORE are Ar Riyadiyah 1, Al Araby and Ar Riyadiyah 2. The first two are trivial mentions and the last is an image caption. Still no evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC so the reasons for deletion are still valid.
- Ye Lin Htet: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 17:37, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Same sort of case as Aung Moe Htwe. BLP sourced only to the unreliable Facebook and with no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is a squad list mention in SCMP and a trivial mention in Myanmar Digital Newspaper.
- Chit San Maung (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Inter&anthro (talk · contribs) 18:01, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Now that WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:FPL are no longer used for notability, I'm struggling to see a case for keeping this article. The match reports provided do not address Chit San Maung in any significant detail and my own WP:BEFORE searches in both Burmese (ချစ်စမ်းမောင်) and English are not finding anything about the footballer of this name but plenty about Chit San Maung (guitarist) instead.
- Ilford and District Football League: nominated at AfD; notified Siva1979 (talk · contribs) 19:58, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Same sort of case as Kingston and District Football League and Wearside Combination Football League. In recent news, I can't find anything better than Guardian Series, which mentions the league once in passing. Searching in the British Newspaper Archive yields a few relevant hits but these are all just basic results listings with no meaningful prose about the league. The previous deletions linked above clearly show that this sort of coverage isn't enough, especially when it's in hyper local newspapers like Tower Hamlets Independent and East End Local Advertiser and contains nothing that we can actually build an article from.
- Waleed Asiri: nominated at AfD; notified Qautro (talk · contribs) 11:47, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Has only made an inconsequential 3 minute cameo in a league match to date, which seems to be the only reason why this Soccerway stub has been created. The best sources that I can find are Alyaum 1 and Alyaum 2, both of which only trivially mention Asiri as an unused substitute in a reserve match. WP:FPL is no longer relevant and Asiri needs to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC to have an article. I'm not seeing a passing of either guideline at this moment in time. WP:TOOSOON at best.
- Mahmoud Al Malloul: nominated at AfD; notified Firas1977 (talk · contribs) 22:05, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Created in 2009, when notability standards were much lower than now, then tagged as a notability concern in 2011 and rightly so. The Syria News article cited is a trivial mention. Arabic searches bring up a lot of hits about similarly named footballers like Ali Maâloul. The only relevant hits that I can find are Al Rai and Al Jazeera. These are more trivial mentions. No evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Natalia Montiel: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 11:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: References provided fail to establish WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC as there is no significant in-depth coverage of Montiel contained within. From the database sources available, WP:NBAD doesn't seem to be met either as her only 'claim' to notability is a runner up in a tournament at the lowest level of the tour, the 2016 BWF Future Series. According to BWF, she only ever won one match, which doesn't give me confidence that WP:SIGCOV can be found. An Argentine source search yields nothing better than what we already have and nor do Google searches.
- Mickaela Skaric: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 15:33, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't get a presumption of notability from WP:NBAD as reaching the final of a 2016 BWF International Series does not meet that criterion. Also worth noting that that tournament only had a semi-final and final so reaching the final is not as impressive as it might seem. More importantly, Skaric needs to comply with WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC to have an article. The current sources fall way short. In my searches, including a Chilean search, I found only trivial mentions in El Deportero, Guyana Times and Stabroek News.
- Marcelo Altamirano: nominated at AfD; notified Durneydiaz (talk · contribs) 18:41, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer with brief professional career and no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC as far as I can see. A Chilean source search yields mostly social media and an empty ESPN profile page. He has a few namesakes in sports, who don't seem notable either, but may confuse you if searching. The man described in Uno Entre Ríós is a PE teacher from Argentina born in 1988, so cannot be the same person as this Chilean goalkeeper. Likewise, the man described in El Esquiú was a vice president of a federation back in 1980, so it's impossible for him to be the same person as this Altamirano.
- Hasan Al Moustafa: nominated at AfD; notified Royroydeb (talk · contribs) 12:19, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Created at a time when notability standards were much lower. No evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC from the references provided. Best I can find in Indian football coverage is Indian Sports News, a trivial mention, and Sportskeeda, which only mentions him twice. Best source I can find in Arabic is Kooora, a database source, which doesn't confer notability.
- Dmitry Kalineyko: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 10:25, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Very brief professional career with no indication of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The only non-database source across all languages of Wikipedia for him is Tribuna, which is a trivial mention. In my own searches in Russian and Belarusian, the best sources found were KP, which doesn't meet the high standards of WP:YOUNGATH, and Football.by, another passing mention.
- Georgi Damyanov (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Dfotev (talk · contribs) 13:12, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I was not able to find any evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I, instead, found hits about namesakes in basketball and judo. The only coverage that I found for this footballer in Bulgarian searches was weak; a passing mention in Blitz and two mentions in TV Shumen, a match report.

[edit]- Draft:Saturday Night Takeaway: nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.201.102 (talk · contribs) 08:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Probably not blatant enough for WP:G3 but this article is completely false and requires deletion. If the contents of this article were true, there'd be plenty of news about it online, given how well known Whittaker and Ramsay are. This is part of a series of long-term abuse relating to the fictional 'Alexander Bickerton' and 'Lauren Blake'. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Lukinson for further details and other examples of abuse by this LTA user.
- Draft:BBOC: nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.213.56 (talk · contribs) 08:29, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a hoax albeit perhaps not blatant enough for WP:G3. Searching 'BBOC Entertainment' yields zero relevant hits. This is part of a series of long-term abuse relating to the fictional 'Alexander Bickerton' and 'Lauren Blake'. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Lukinson for further details and other examples of abuse by this LTA user.
- Draft:To the Whistle: nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.213.0 (talk · contribs) 08:43, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Long term abuse. Jodie Whittaker is an extremely well known celebrity in the UK so if this were true, there would be at least some coverage. I found zilch. This is probably a hoax inspired by Play to the Whistle.This is part of a series of long-term abuse relating to the fictional 'Alexander Bickerton' and 'Lauren Blake'. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Lukinson for further details and other examples of abuse by this LTA user.
- Essam Shqalo: nominated at AfD; notified Ibrahimk87 (talk · contribs) 09:58, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no decent sources. No evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources in Arabic that I could find were eSyria 1, a squad listing and mention of getting a yellow card, and eSyria 2, a squad list mention.
- Maher Al-Taweel: nominated at AfD; notified Ibrahimk87 (talk · contribs) 10:17, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My own searches in English and Arabic ("ماهر الطويل") failed to yield any sources addressing this footballer in detail. The only results that I could find were for namesakes. Since SPORTBASIC states that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources., the article must be removed unless acceptable sources come to light.
- Ko Ko Hein: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 14:06, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no acceptable sources. I was unable to find significant coverage in any language so there is no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Burmese searches came back with nothing and English searches yielded SofaScore, a basic database, and ESPN, a squad list mention.
- Deiyandara National College: nominated at AfD; notified TharinduSR (talk · contribs) 15:11, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of meeting WP:GNG or WP:NORG. Searches in Sinhala yielded Lankadeepa, a mention in an exhaustive listing of schools, and News Radio, a passing mention in a list of schools closed due to bad weather. The coverage needs to be much more detailed than that to warrant a stand-alone article.
- Kularathna Central College: nominated at AfD; notified KularathnaCC (talk · contribs) 15:22, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This article was written by a WP:COI account and has been maintained by WP:SOCK accounts since 2017, many of which are now blocked. More importantly, there is no sign of passing WP:GNG or WP:NORG. Best I can find in Sinhala searches are The Papare (translated), which mentions the school just once, and Kelimandala (translated), which also only mentions the school once.
- Michalis Michael: nominated at AfD; notified Jimmyscy (talk · contribs) 22:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There seem to be multiple footballers of this name, one of whom is a goalkeeper - see Pafos Press (translated). I can't find anything decent about the defender of this name and so I'm not seeing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC here. Aside from the Playmaker Stats source that I added previously, I can only find Soccerway, which is no good.
- Róbert Oravec: nominated at AfD; notified IQual (talk · contribs) 19:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no sign of passing WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Best Slovakian sources that I could find were MY Nitra and Piestansky Dennik, both of which only provide trivial coverage. Perhaps not surprising given that, according to Soccerway, his professional career only lasted 13 mins in total.
- Abdul Salem Jamshid: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 19:44, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer article with no acceptable sources per WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Even searches in Farsi (عبدالسالم جمشید) yielded no useful sources on him.
- Lucian Asanache: nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 21:34, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 3 games for CS Concordia Chiajna and then retired in 2018 to become an account manager in Bucharest according to his LinkedIn page. I was unable to locate any coverage that would allow Asanache to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best that I can find are a very brief quote in Gazeta SV and a slightly longer quote in Liga 2. Quotes from Asanache himself do not count as significant coverage of him. Aside from these sources, all I can find are routine loan announcements.
- Jarvis Island national football team: nominated at AfD; notified TCastolll44 (talk · contribs) 19:55, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:V and WP:GNG. We know that Jarvis Island has no inhabitants so I can't see how they could put together a football team! Furthermore, I can find no evidence of their alleged 8-0 thrashing of Kiribati in New York in 2006. Article also states that they qualified for the 2023 Pacific Games but I can see no evidence of this. Their top scorer "George TylerKed" yields no hits in searches. The article seems to be pure fantasy/hoax.
- Wattegama Central College: nominated at AfD; notified Nalin BR (talk · contribs) 20:07, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article is unsourced and I was unable to find decent sources, even when searching in Sinhala. No evidence of WP:NORG or WP:GNG. Best source I can find is Wijeya (translated), which mentions the school only once. English search results only yield social media.
- Rishan Ahanthem: nominated at AfD; notified Poppified (talk · contribs) 12:04, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the references in the article show the depth of coverage required for WP:GNG or even for WP:SPORTBASIC #5. He played 81 mins of football back in January 2021 but doesn't seem to have played any football since so I'm not seeing any guarantee of future notability here either. My WP:BEFORE only returned database sources, which SPORTBASIC explicitly states as not being enough for notability.
- Joychandra Singh: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 12:37, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Has been tagged as needing additional sources for two years now but I can't see any evidence that any decent sources exist. Current sources are well short of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Even an Indian source search doesn't seem to yield anything significant. Searches in conjunction with his former clubs does bring up a few trivial mentions in match reports like Telegraph India, Sportskeeda and Times of India. The only recent coverage I can find is AIFF, which is not at all significant.
- Brabby Kofigo: nominated at AfD; notified Ampimd (talk · contribs) 14:10, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The database sources and trivial mention provided do not establish WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and most of the content relating to the COVID pandemic is generic league info and not specifically relating to Kofigo as an individual. In my own searches, I was unable to find any significant coverage of Kofigo. The best sources were Modern Ghana, a single passing mention, Ghana Soccernet, which also only mentions him once, and All Africa, which looks to be the best source but still only has 2 sentences about Kofigo and doesn't contain enough info to write a bio from.
- Philip Kutsu: nominated at AfD; notified Wjarrettc (talk · contribs) 14:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Playing 3 games for the Carolina RailHawks is no longer seen as an automatic notability pass. Kutsu needs to pass WP:GNG to have an article. The best that I can find is Modern Ghana, a trivial mention, Xinhua News Agency (via ProQuest), a trivial mention of being a standby player for a youth tournament, and Miami Herald (via Newspapers.com), which is a mention in a match report about getting a red card. Through multiple searches, I couldn't find any actual detailed coverage of Kutsu.
- Abdullah Al-Ghamdi: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 14:54, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 15 mins of professional football before dropping down to semi-pro/amateur level and with no apparent significant coverage. There appears to be a commentator of the same name according to Koora Break. My Arabic searches aren't yielding anything even close to decent about the footballer of this name. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC #5 as far as I can tell.
- Ahmad Khesraw: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 13:25, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite being capped at international level, I can't find any evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I have looked at the other language Wikipedia articles and searched in Farsi (احمد خسرو) but still found nothing of use. Database sources like Soccerway seem to be all we have.
- Óscar Barros: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 16:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. In searches, the best that I could find was Jornal Nordeste, a transfer announcement in a regional newspaper that merely lists his former clubs and doesn't provide much else. Such coverage is usually considered insufficient at AfD and, in any case, multiple good sources are needed to pass GNG. Other than that, I found some brief coverage of his stint in Finland but it's also below the standard; see MP and Palloliitto.
- Cecilie Bjergen: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 19:33, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Bjergen doesn't seem to meet WP:NBAD and so is required to meet WP:GNG. I found no evidence of significant coverage in a Danish source search despite playing in the internet era. I found some coverage in a local Nibe-based newspaper but Nibe Avis 1 and Nibe Avis 2 clearly both fail criterion 2 of WP:YOUNGATH, which states The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications. It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability. Routine game summaries in a local paper are not enough. The only other non-database source that I found was Badminton Bladet, which is also entirely trivial coverage of Bjergen.
- Mathias Moldt Baskjær: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 19:45, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:NBAD here. The best sources that I can find in Danish are Sport Herning, which mentions him twice in the results summary, Badminton Bladet, a single passing mention, and Hojbjerg Badminton, another passing mention.
- Andreas Berthelsen: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 19:52, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unfortunately, Berthelsen looks to fail WP:GNG and I'm not seeing WP:NBAD either. A Danish source search yielded nothing decent. Badminton Europe is only a trivial mention. Please note that there is an unrelated Danish football coach of the same name.
- Luka Zdenjak: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 22:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing enough for WP:NBAD and none of the sources demonstrate WP:GNG. My own searches yield La Rep, Quartier Croix Rouge and Badmania, all of which are only trivial mentions of Zdenjak. I can't find any significant coverage.
- Yanet Núñez Mojarena: nominated at AfD; notified Alfa kanima (talk · contribs) 19:10, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources is what WP:SPORTBASIC #5 says is the minimum requirement for an article. I can't find any evidence that this player complies with this guideline. She also doesn't meet WP:NTENNIS as playing in the Fed Cup is no longer part of that guideline. She does meet the essay detailed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines but the notability guidelines do supersede WikiProject essays and, in any case, her achievements don't give any room for WP:IAR imho. She has never played in a major tournament, never won a tournament above 10K nor has she ever held a decent ranking (she hasn't even ever been in the top 400).
- Arber Haliti: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 19:28, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite searches in Google, DDG and ProQuest, I was not able to locate any coverage outside of database sources. Appears to fail #5 of WP:SPORTBASIC, which is the minimum requirement for an article here.
- The Rahul Jogi: nominated at AfD; notified Aanyareddy230 (talk · contribs) 07:55, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted multiple times at Rahul Jogi and Rahul jogi due to failing WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Having reviewed the sources in this current version, I can't see that any of the previous problems have been addressed at all, not to mention that 'The Rahul Jogi' is not an appropriate title and only seems to have been used to bypass the WP:SALT applied. I also can't see any real improvement from the draftified version at Draft:Rahul Jogi Rahul Jogi other than the addition of sources that fail to confer notability. I'm not convinced that Kabir Kranti is WP:RS and I seem to remember this being in the article before and it didn't persuade anyone at the time that Jogi is notable.
- Chhangte Lalhriatpuia: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 10:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His 3 professional games lasting 37 mins before disappearing would probably be enough to survive a PROD but I don't see enough for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, which are the only valid guidelines at AfD. An Indian source search yielded only database sources and Google gives me the same plus a few Football Manager sites. The best I can find in WP:RS is Football Counter, which only mentions him once. Likewise with the Football Counter source already cited.
- Techi Tatra: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 11:08, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite his cameo appearance against Mohun Bagan in 2019, his career doesn't seem to have taken off and the article currently makes no attempt at demonstrating WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. An Indian source search gives us nothing more than database sources. I found some sources in Google relating to futsal and football, more than I thought to be fair, but nothing that addresses Tatra in detail. The Hindu mentions him once, same with Assam Tribune and Arunachal Times doesn't do any better. Those were the best WP:RS that I could find.
- Bansharaj Sun: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 11:24, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 6 matches at professional level, I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I have searched ProQuest, Google and DDG but found nothing even close to being a decent source.
- Palannoruwa Central College: nominated at AfD; notified Shehan lakmal (talk · contribs) 13:59, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The article has stood for 10 years but doesn't seem to have ever had a decent source. I can't find evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:NORG in English or Sinhala (පලන්නොරුව මධ්ය මහා විද්යාලය). The best that I can find is Kelimandala (translated), which only mentions the school in passing.
- Basir Kamrani: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 22:13, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC even when searching in Farsi (بصیر کامرانی). Article currently sourced only to a database source, which is woefully inadequate in terms of notability.
- 2023 IFK Norrköping season/Matches: nominated at AfD; notified Anderssøn79 (talk · contribs) 13:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested PROD.My rationale As far as I am aware, we don't split the matches from the season article unless there are issues with the article length for the parent article. Looking at 2023 IFK Norrköping season, I can't see how that would be the case. That article is way shorter than any of the season articles at WP:FA, such as 1994–95 Gillingham F.C. season, so I see no reason for this split. Also, the current content duplicates what is already in the parent article.Contested with I am asking to keep this page because the acticle contains 30 games, and each game conatains multiple lines, therefore it is a headache to update a single match, while when it is outside the article, we may use subtitles and therefore subsections, which help find the right match easier. Thanks.The fact that the season contains 30 games is not sufficient for a split imho. Every Premier League team plays 38 league games and several cup games a season and we never split the matches out. I have consulted WP:SIZESPLIT for guidance and, at 20KB, the article 2023 IFK Norrköping season does not meet criteria for a split based on size and I don't see any other valid reason. If consensus is that we do indeed need to split the matches into a separate article then I think that this will have repercussions for most if not all season articles moving forward.
- Anamaria Gorea: nominated at AfD 20:22, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: My searches did not turn up any evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best sources found were Prosport and Népújság, both of which are just squad list mentions.
- Nathaniel Lamptey: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 22:54, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing at U17 level for Ghana, as far as I can tell, Lamptey never made a single professional appearance in his whole career and I'm not seeing enough for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC nor any reason to ignore the guidelines in Lamptey's case. The best that I can find are Modern Ghana and Ghana Web 1, that mention him once in passing. Other than that, I found a basic transfer announcement at Ghana Web 2, about him initially signing for Karlsruher but transfer announcements like this one are rarely considered to be sufficient.
- Aldin Aganovic: nominated at AfD; notified Fbgpwns5277 (talk · contribs) 11:44, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged as a concern regarding WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC and I can't see any significant coverage cited in any Wikipedia language. My own Austrian search yields only user-generated content and database sources, which are clearly not acceptable per SPORTBASIC. I found Sky Sports, which mentions him once, Lokal Sport, which is just standard match report coverage, and Fan Report, which mentions him only twice. Soccerway suggests that he's been playing at a low level for the last few years, which explains why coverage is hard to find.
- Mobin Rai: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 09:15, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced stats stub that is barely an article at the moment. No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG and my Indian source search was unsuccessful. The article also contains incorrect information as Soccerway, as well as other stats sites, states that he never played a game at the top level. The best coverage that I can find is Kathmandu Post, which mentions him twice, and Sikkim Express, a single passing mention. None of that is even close to significant and this BLP is not justified unless anyone can find anything better.
- Romeo Sukhlian: nominated at AfD; notified Ash647 (talk · contribs) 10:15, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no acceptable sources and no indication of notability. Does not look to even pass WP:SPORTBASIC #5, which is the minimum standard. An Indian source search yields only Wikipedia mirrors.
- A Wasey Mominyar: nominated at AfD; notified UmairAhmad1212 (talk · contribs) 10:45, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Abdulla Hassan Kamal: nominated at AfD; notified Momofeee (talk · contribs) 11:36, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing a few professional games, I was unable to find any significant coverage to meet WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best that I could find in Arabic sources was Stad Doha and QSL, both trivial mentions.
- Angelos Perikleous: nominated at AfD; notified Fterov (talk · contribs) 21:30, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: His name in Greek is Άγγελος Περικλέους and you'll see plenty of coverage about a released prisoner that disappeared, also from Limassol. They're clearly not the same person, though. The best coverage that I could find for the footballer was Lemesos in Sports and 24 Sports, both of which are not significant coverage and are copied mostly from a club press release, so also don't meet the WP:IS threshold.
- Arbade Bironze: nominated at AfD; notified Larbkai (talk · contribs) 22:17, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no acceptable sources cited and nothing is coming up about him in my own WP:BEFORE using multiple search engines. I used Ikinyarwanda Wikipedia for guidance as well but it's clear that that article is a WP:REFBOMB of sources that make no mention of Bironze. When an article has the title "Soulcalibur V – Trophy Guide" it's obviously not going to have anything about a Ugandan footballer. Fails WP:GNG.
- Lovro Benić: nominated at AfD; notified Lglukgl (talk · contribs) 17:31, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Benić very briefly had a professional career until around 2014, after which he disappeared into the lower levels. The article is only supported by database sources, so doesn't meet WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. This Croatian source search yielded no significant coverage. SportCom is not significant coverage as it's just an interviewer asking him for opinions on the season and contains no third party coverage of Benić at all. All other coverage seems to be just pure stats like Soccerzz.
- Ivan Bjelobradić: nominated at AfD; notified Cloudz679 (talk · contribs) 09:24, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No indication of notability now that WP:FPL and the old WP:NFOOTBALL have been deprecated. To see whether this meets WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, I did a Croatian source search and found nothing better than Index, which is a news story about drink driving. It's more than a passing mention but I'm hesitant to call someone notable just because of a news report about driving under the influence on its own. Other sources found include Jutarnji, Sportnet and Dnevnik. All of those mentions are trivial and the last one is a blog so probably isn't WP:RS anyway.
- Dario Bijelić: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 09:34, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created on the basis that Bijelić might meet WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC in the future as his career develops but there is no indication that he currently meets the guidelines, so possibly WP:TOOSOON here. In my searches of Austrian and Croatian sources, the best that I could find was Večernji list, which mentions him a couple of times, and Nacional, which is clearly two trivial mentions. Unless anyone finds anything better, this young footballer isn't notable yet.
- Aziz Rohallah: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 09:40, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Has 5 caps which is usually a good indicator of notability but I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5, even when doing a WP:BEFORE search in his native language (عزیز روحالله). Article sourced only to a database source, which is not enough for notability.
- Lalnunsiama: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 10:39, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created after professional debut but it doesn't look like he played any further games. I'm not seeing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC here. Best I could find were The Fan Garage, two passing mentions in results summaries, Sportskeeda, two trivial mentions about scoring an own goal, and Indian Sports News, which mentions him once.
- Gloria Najjuka: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 12:16, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG, WP:NBAD or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Best sources found were New Vision, a very brief news article about her intention to win an under-18 school tournament, and Uganda Radio Network, which briefly mentions her losing in a second round match. None of this is significant, detailed coverage of her as an individual.
- Alrick Toney: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 13:23, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I revived the SME Sport source but it's just a trivial mention, this means that all 7 references used in the article are trivial coverage only. There is no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and the one tournament that he was runner-up in is below the requirements for WP:NBAD. This article is lengthy but it's almost entirely just a listing of his youth results, which don't confer notability. My WP:BEFORE search found nothing better than Barbados Advocate, Guyana Chronicle and QN Sports, all of which are passing mentions of Toney.
- Sami ur Rehman: nominated at AfD; notified SidrahJ (talk · contribs) 13:30, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the sources cited are independent WP:RS nor could I find any myself. Does not seem to meet WP:GNG nor WP:CREATIVE. He has not been involved in a notable production yet.
- Kyaw Htoo: nominated at AfD; notified Kgkalay (talk · contribs) 13:45, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Having searched in both Burmese and English, I was unable to find anything even close to significant coverage for WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Please note that WP:FPL is no longer relevant and Kyaw Htoo is required to have significant coverage from reliable, independent sources.
- Maksim Kazlovich: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 14:01, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm concerned that WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC are both failed here. I've searched in Russian, Belarusian and English and can find nothing better than Soccernet, which is clearly not significant coverage.
September 2023
[edit]- FC Politehnica Iași (2010) in European football: nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 19:55, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: These '... in European football' articles are always controversial so I'm bringing this to AfD. Relatively new club with their only European tie to date being a qualifying loss to Hajduk Split. I'm not seeing how this topic meets WP:GNG and I'm not seeing enough justification for WP:SIZESPLIT from FC Politehnica Iași (2010). Furthermore, the contents of this article are already covered perfectly at FC_Politehnica_Iași_(2010)#Statistics and records so there is no content worth merging. FC Terek Grozny in Europe was deleted despite having more games played but that AfD was a long time ago so it's worth discussing this topic again especially since this seems to have even more issues than AZ Alkmaar in European football, which is also up for deletion.
- Mohammad Zaki: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 21:34, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite having 2 caps, I was unable to find any significant coverage, so looks to fail WP:GNG and even WP:SPORTBASIC #5, the latter being the bare minimum requirement. Even searching in his native language ("محمد زکی") yielded no decent results about the Afghan footballer with this name.
- Dmytro Romanov: nominated at AfD; notified Andriyrussu (talk · contribs) 21:53, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This article was actually created after WP:NSPORTS2022 but contains no significant coverage. My own searches in Ukrainian and English yield no evidence of WP:GNG and, in fact, only yield stats sites which merely confirm that he came on as a sub in one Ukrainian third tier match.
- Dimitar Dimitrov (footballer, born 1989): nominated at AfD; notified Zevs pz (talk · contribs) 11:20, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm struggling to get this over the WP:V line let alone WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. He might well be the same player as this guy in Soccerway and Transfermarkt, even though the DOB doesn't match. In any case, the sources found are database sources only and I can't find any evidence that he ever received significant coverage. This isn't surprising considering that he seems to have only ever played in one professional match. The Bulgarian Wikipedia article doesn't offer any evidence of notability either. Footballers are no longer automatically notable for participating in one game and WP:FPL has been deprecated.
- Mario Danailov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 13:12, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and no decent sources found in a Bulgarian source search. There is an assistant referee of the same name mentioned at Viasport, Gong and Sportal but the coverage is not at all significant and there is no evidence that the footballer is the same person as the assistant ref.
- Denis Kishkurno: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 17:55, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 18 mins as a professional, I was not able to locate any significant coverage. Tribuna Blog is a squad list mention. Tribuna is a passing mention. Football is a passing mention, explaining that he wasn't taken on after a trial. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, which, following WP:NSPORTS2022, now need to be met.
- Suraj Musah: nominated at AfD; notified Ampimd (talk · contribs) 10:19, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 4 professional games a few years ago but doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best source found is Ghana Web, which is a transfer rumour and, on its own, not enough to meet the above guidelines, which require multiple sources showing significant coverage of the subject.
- Mohamad Jaafar: nominated at AfD; notified Charles87 (talk · contribs) 09:42, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything in Swedish or Arabic language sources to suggest that Jaafar meets WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5, which is the absolute bare minimum requirement for an article.
- Călin Chirilov: nominated at AfD; notified Kolya77 (talk · contribs) 11:16, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created due to 1 minute of professional football over 6 years ago but no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. The best that I can find are Spoltore Notizie, a transfer announcement which lists his position, nationality, previous clubs and height - not enough on its own as GNG and SPORTBASIC need more than one decent source. I also found Est-Curier but the mentions are way too brief for this to count at all towards GNG.
- Antonis Vasiliou: nominated at AfD; notified Zecke1910 (talk · contribs) 11:33, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There are plenty of people with this name, including a Greek Cypriot politician, but I can't find anything to suggest that the footballer born in 1996 of this name is notable per WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Sports Up has an article about a much older footballer, who happens to be a goalkeeper not a midfielder, and 24 Sports has a transfer announcement about another Antonis Vasiliou, this one being a defender born in 1993. To make matters worse, Barnet FC also have a footballer with the same name. The only hits that may or may not be about this Antonis Vasiliou were Phile News and Kerkida (translated), neither of which were even close to WP:SIGCOV. I can't see anything to suggest that an article is required.
- Georgios Velkov: nominated at AfD; notified Nick Rokk 96 (talk · contribs) 11:47, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: My Greek language searches failed to find any coverage for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources found were Kerkida (translated), a brief transfer announcement with a copy and paste of a club press release, Sport FM, a passing mention about being fined for poor behaviour, and Thema Sports, a brief mention about being suspended.
- Vijayaba National School: nominated at AfD; notified Vijayabawikipedia (talk · contribs) 13:09, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The school exists but the coverage lacks the depth required for WP:GNG and WP:NORG. The best that I can find in Sinhalese are The Papare, Lanka News Web and Lankadeepa, all of which only address the school in passing.
- Biaklian Paite: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 13:49, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Current references don't show notability and nothing decent found in my searches, which is not surprising, given that his professional career has been painfully brief. Best sources found were Arunfoot, Goal.com and Indians in Kuwait, all of which only mention Paite once and are clearly not WP:SIGCOV.
- Ambika Dutt Ranga: nominated at AfD; notified Akmportal (talk · contribs) 14:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unreferenced article that was kept at AfD 15 years ago despite having no reliable sources (WP:RS) or independent sources (WP:IS) and despite a clear consensus from participants to have the article deleted. The article was 'supported' by one dubious source called Ambika Sports, which, unsurprisingly, no longer exists. An archived version can still be accessed here but I don't feel comfortable having an article based solely off what appears to be a website dedicated solely to the subject. The Ambika Sports website appears to have been entirely written by one person, with no mention of their credentials. I can't find even a mention of "Ambika Dutt Ranga" in any other source or database. The Ambika Sports website claims to organise a competition called "Ambika Football Gold Cup" but there are no hits for this anywhere either. At best this seems unverifiable and a failure of WP:V and, at worst, this is a hoax.
- Bikwasi Haruna: nominated at AfD; notified PapaJama (talk · contribs) 16:30, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- Raza Mahmoudi: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 18:29, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. My WP:BEFORE search yielded no sources showing significant coverage, even when searching in his native language ("رضا محمودی").
- Kledis Hereki: nominated at AfD; notified Manos H. Scorer (talk · contribs) 18:49, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I can't find any decent coverage in Albanian and the one provided Greek source is trivial coverage, with only part of one sentence about him. The only other Greek coverage that I can find are stats pages like [16], which SPORTBASIC says does not confer notability.
- Agnel Gomes: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 19:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Please do not confuse him with Angel Gomes. The Goan footballer of this name does not seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC with only database coverage like Tribuna found. His 2 professional matches might be enough to survive a PROD but I'm not seeing enough for the article to be kept.
- List of FlyArystan destinations: nominated at AfD; notified Altoumulus (talk · contribs) 10:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This was deleted as part of the bundle Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Air Nippon destinations with a very detailed rationale from User:FOARP linking to the the 2018 RFC on lists of airline destinations, which clearly confirms that we should not be hosting these lists on Wikipedia anywhere. This article was swiftly recreated following the previous AfD and I am not seeing how this new version addresses any of the concerns raised by FOARP. There is no evidence that the destinations that FlyArystan fly to are covered significantly in reliable sources independent of the company. I would politely ask people to read the above RfC and AfD to understand the context of this nomination before !voting.
- Aigerim Alimbozova: nominated at AfD 10:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP with no indication of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best sources found were Vecher, which mentions her twice in a match report, Kaz Football, which is just a squad listing, and Sports Arena, another squad list.
- Lazzy Jazz: nominated at AfD; notified X layde (talk · contribs) 13:55, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP PROD removed due to addition of Elon Trap, however, that article is extremely brief and not WP:SIGCOV. I found no decent sources in my own searches. No evidence of WP:NMUSICIAN either (the article claims that he is signed to Warner Music Group but I can't find evidence of this).
- José Alarcón (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 20:06, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Alarcón made his WP:FPL debut two years ago, playing less than one minute of football, but has not played since. I can find no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and, at best, it looks like a case of WP:TOOSOON. The best source found was One Football (translated) but it's mostly quotes directly from him and there is very little actual independent analysis. If people are confident that he will be notable very soon then sending to draft could be considered but, since the article is older than 90 days, this would have to be as a result of an AfD per WP:DRAFTIFY (2d).
- Guillermo Álvarez: nominated at AfD; notified VH1982 (talk · contribs) 20:22, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Álvarez has some coverage from his very brief career in Uruguay but I'm not seeing enough for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best that I can find are El Pais, a squad listing, Espectador, another mere listing of him, and Montevideo, which mentions him once in the match report.
- Mumin Aliyansyah: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 19:31, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. An Indonesian source search yields nothing better than the usual Wikipedia mirrors. Viva and Tribun News were the best sources that I could find but both of them only mention Mumin once and the depth is trivial.
- João Bruno: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 20:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I am unable to find evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC based on my searches and there is no obvious WP:ATD. I can't imagine that someone searching "João Bruno" would be necessarily looking for this footballer anyway, given that his career was so brief and contained few appearances. I can't find anything better than database sources, like Football Database, and SPORTBASIC explicitly states that such sources don't confer notability.
- Halanna Capri: nominated at AfD; notified Bestwriter2018 (talk · contribs) 16:33, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested WP:G11. Even if the promotional content were to be removed, I still have doubts about Capri's notability. Digital Journal comes across too promotional to me and the website says that you can pay for content on there, which makes me doubt that this is independent journalism. I can find no mention of her in any reputable WP:RS. Furthermore, I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN. The article creator makes the claim that her songs are 'chart-topping' but this claim is unverifiable.
- Kyaw Swar Linn: nominated at AfD; notified Modernrocker4 (talk · contribs) 09:29, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: In my WP:BEFORE search in both Burmese and English, I could not find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Rashed Ahmed Rashed: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 12:10, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 8 mins in a professional league and then disappeared. My WP:BEFORE search in Arabic did not yield any examples of significant coverage. I can find no evidence of meeting the current agreed guidelines - WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG.
- Abdurahman Nasser: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 12:28, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Following WP:NSPORTS2022, articles like this are under more scrutiny and, to be honest, with 1 league game for Al-Sadd and 1 for Muaither, he barely met the old guidelines anyway. My Arabic searches have yielded no decent results about this particular Abdurahman Nasser and so there is no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
October 2023
[edit]- Lalnun Mawia: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 19:01, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Having searched 'Lalnunmawia', 'Lal Nun Mawia' and 'Lalnun Mawia', I was unable to find any evidence of the subject passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is Sportskeeda, a passing mention only.
- Bimal Minj: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 18:56, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played one season as a pro and then disappeared. I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, even when searching in Hindi (बिमल मिंज). GCS Stars mentions him twice, as Bimal Minz, and it's a blog so clearly not WP:RS and doesn't help with GNG. Deccan Herald mentions him once, as Bimal Minz, and LatestLY mentions him once. None of these mentioned sources provide significant coverage of Minz/Minj.
- Monirul Mondal: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 20:18, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Painfully brief career as a professional and no evidence of passing WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources found were Telegraph India, a squad list mention, CPD Football, a passing mention in a blog (not WP:RS), and India Footy, a single passing mention. I could not find any RS addressing Monirul Mondal directly and in detail, which is not surprising considering how short and uneventful his career was.
- Faiza Ismailova: nominated at AfD 11:42, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unfortunately, I can't find evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met. Article created due to playing less than half of one game for Kazakhstan but can't see anything that meets our notability guidelines. KFF, Olympic and Kaz Football were the best that I could find but all are just squad list mentions.
- Yavgeniya Khatskevich: nominated at AfD 12:18, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played one minute of international football and then disappeared. I can't find significant coverage in any language, failing WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC #5. There is SCSG, which has a small amount of info about her but it's nowhere near enough for GNG.
- Sotiris Vasiliou: nominated at AfD; notified Zecke1910 (talk · contribs) 18:22, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't even seem to meet WP:SPORTBASIC #5 let alone anything else. The CFA source (non-independent) seems to be permanently dead but I revived the Balla source here but, sadly, it contains zero WP:SIGCOV. The only other source that I found on him was Kerkida (translated), which is far from good. All I can seem to find is stuff about a chef of the same name.
- Etele Baláska: nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 18:44, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 16 mins of football and then disappeared. No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 found in my searches; I searched in Romanian, Hungarian (Târgu Secuiesc, his birthplace, is largely Székely) and English but found only basic database coverage.
- Maksim Tyulin: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 17:45, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Has played 20 mins of football to date but doesn't seem to have been registered to a club for over a year now. Following WP:NSPORTS2022, Tyulin must meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC to have an article. The only non-database source found was Volgar FC, a trivial mention of him and on a website run by his employer, so not an independent source.
- Vladimir Osipov (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 17:56, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created due to playing 23 mins of football but I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best source found in Russian was FCNH, which is neither significant nor independent of the subject.
- Ionuț Oprescu: nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 18:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: It doesn't seem necessary to have an encyclopaedia article for Oprescu when he has only played one minute of professional football and makes no other claim to notability. Prosport mentions him in passing 3 times, Arges Sport also trivially mentions him in a match report and GSP is just a single passing mention. Not enough for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC as none of the coverage addresses him in detail.
- Ramiz Muradov: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 19:13, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to be a massive case of WP:TOOSOON at best. He has only played one minute of professional football to date and my WP:BEFORE search did not yield any decent sources in English or Azerbaijani. There is no evidence that this Soccerway stub complies with the requirements of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Elvis Haxhillari: nominated at AfD; notified Lglukgl (talk · contribs) 19:39, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Had a very brief professional career in the first quarter of 2014 then disappeared. My WP:BEFORE search did not yield any significant coverage in any language and so I do not see any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Veronika Maksimenko: nominated at AfD; notified MonFrontieres (talk · contribs) 14:05, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unable to find any decent coverage in the Cyrillic or Latin alphabet. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and never appeared to have been a key footballer for Kazakhstan, playing only 155 mins in 5 matches in one campaign before disappearing. The only coverage that I could find was Olympic, which is a squad list mention and confirmation of receiving a yellow card.
- Marcus Younis: nominated at AfD; notified JC Kotisow (talk · contribs) 11:49, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Recreated shortly after previous AfD deletion without addressing any of the issues. My own WP:BEFORE does not find any sources compliant with WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, both of which require significant coverage to come from sources that are completely independent of Younis. Searches will likely yield Football Talent Scout, which appears to be a decent source at first glance but fails WP:RS requirements as the article is written by a guest account, so is no more reliable than Wikipedia itself or any other WP:UGC. Source analysis to follow.
- Kyaw Zin Oo: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 13:35, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no valid sources, no indication of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best that I can find are Myanmar Digital Newspaper (translated), which mentions him once, and MNL (translated), which mentions him as the winner of an award in the second tier of Myanmar, which isn't pro. In any case, neither of these address Kyaw Zin Oo in sufficient depth to be considered a GNG pass.
- Maria Neacșu: nominated at AfD 13:57, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: A database entry rather than an article and no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. The only source that is more than a trivial mention is FRF but SPORTBASIC states that Team sites and governing sports bodies are not considered independent of their players. so an article in FRF does not support a notability claim as it's the governing body for Romanian football. Having translated the article, there isn't that much independent content and, in any case, even if the article were considered good, one article isn't enough for SPORTBASIC or GNG. The only other source that wasn't a database source was Opinia Timisoarei but it's only a trivial mention.
- Roxana Mirea: nominated at AfD 14:38, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I am not able to locate any coverage with the depth required to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Sport Tim and Timisplus but both are just trivial mentions of her. I note the existence of SS Politehnica but it's a primary source and a transfer announcement. Also SPORTBASIC gives us extra reason to rule the source out by saying that Team sites and governing sports bodies are not considered independent of their players
- Daniil Yerofeyev: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 18:04, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PROD by User:TartarTorte Upon WP:BEFORE, I could not find anything that would put this athlete over WP:GNG. Endorsed by me. This was then removed by the original creator, who added some sources. I am not satisfied that any of the new sources meet the requirements of GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, both of which require significant coverage from sources that are independent of the subject. A source analysis will follow and this will analyse the 6 sources used in the article as well as the best 3 found in my own BEFORE search.
- 2012 Uzbekistan Futsal League season: nominated at AfD; notified Shuhratbek98 (talk · contribs) 10:56, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to 2022/2023 China Futsal Super League. This article has had no substantial prose since 2012 and I am not convinced that there is sufficient coverage from independent sources (see WP:IS) for this topic to have its own article. Uzbek and Russian Wikipedia only cite primary sources. I see no reason why this needs a separate article when Uzbekistan Futsal League summarises the top 3, which is enough. Wikipedia is not a free web host for every single league table of every single sport in existence, especially if the only other places hosting the table are non-independent sources like Futsal Planet and Uzbekistan Football Association.
- 50.45.180.190 (Vandalism Bandit): nominated at AfD; notified MrHistoryH (talk · contribs) 23:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Clearly and obviously fails WP:GNG even though PROD was contested. I initially tagged as a WP:G3 but, upon reflection, it doesn't meet the definition. I can't see this meeting any of the speedy deletion criteria so I'm sending it to AfD. The creator seems adamant that because the article is 'funny', it doesn't need to meet our notability guidelines.
- Bilifang Nazary: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 09:51, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This goalkeeper played a couple of games over a decade ago and then seemingly disappeared. I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC from searches or from the current article, which includes some references that don't mention Nazary/Narzary. The best sources found were The Hard Tackle, which is a trivial mention about making the 'save of the week', and Live Indian Football, which has 2 sentences on him regarding turning a loan move to ONGC permanent. Neither of these are examples of significant coverage.
- Dhanesh MC: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 10:01, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub with no obvious claim to notability. In my searches, I found a passing mention in The Hard Tackle but we need something way better than this for WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Mohammed Al-Zakrouti: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 14:10, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, even when searching in Arabic. I can't find anything outside of database sources and Wikipedia mirrors.
- Muaid Moaafa: nominated at AfD; notified Qautro (talk · contribs) 09:11, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 4 minutes of football back in 2018, I'm not seeing anything even close to WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC from the sources provided or from my own searches. Twitter is not reliable or independent and database sources do not confer notability, so that rules out all of the references bar Shorouk News and Akhbaar24, both of which contain minimal information on the player and are referenced to Twitter, which is not reliable or independent. The only news story that I could find that wasn't referenced to Twitter was Ar Riyadiyah, which is just a photo of him training from home, with two sentences confirming what the image shows. No significant coverage.
- Andi Hina: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 18:14, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Hina spent his career in the lower levels of Albanian football and shows no indication of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches in Albanian sources yielded News Sport, which is a brief announcement of his release (along with a few other players) from KF Këlcyra, which was playing at a very low level as this part of his career was not even recorded on Soccerway. Balkan Web mentions him in a news story about a protest following his arrest (again, along with other players). He is not mentioned in any detail in this story and I can't find any news story that addresses him in detail, either for his career as a footballer or as a result of his arrest.
- Ilya Derzhinsky: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 09:56, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Derzhinsky participated in 2 football matches a few years ago before disappearing from the professional scene. The best sources found in Russian were the hyper-local Bryansk News, which is a single trivial mention of him, and Russian Futsal Association, which is not an independent source and, in any case, the source is an extremely brief interview with the subject containing no independent analysis whatsoever. There is no indication that he meets WP:GNG nor that he is on the trajectory to do so.
- Aleksandra Satler: nominated at AfD 10:24, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5 here. A Google News search only yields squad listings. Likewise, further searches of Kazakh sources only give us Kaz Football 1, Kaz Football 2 and Vesti, all of which are mere squad listings too. I did see some hits in the Kazakhstan Football Federation website as well but that is not an independent source per SPORTBASIC and the hits were only squad listings. Squad list mentions are not significant coverage.
- Saad Al-Shurafa: nominated at AfD; notified Qautro (talk · contribs) 11:58, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The article has been in mainspace for more than 90 days so cannot automatically be draftified yet there are no acceptable sources on this BLP and no indication that it meets WP:SPORTBASIC #5 let alone WP:GNG. My Arabic searches found nothing of any value. This is a trivial mention on an article covering a reserve fixture, this article states that he is increasing his intensity of training under the guidance of his father, and nothing else, and, finally, this article mentions him once in a reserve fixture match report. The article about increasing his training intensity is the only thing even close to WP:SIGCOV but, on its own, it falls some way short.
- Yuliya Shiryayeva: nominated at AfD; notified S.A. Julio (talk · contribs) 13:25, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Following WP:NSPORTS2022, we now need to ensure that articles such as this can demonstrate that WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC can be met. My searches of Kazakh sources led me to Sports Arena, which mentions her twice in the main body and once in an image caption. Sports.kz is a squad list mention only and Pro Sports mentions her as a goalscorer and again in the squad list. None of the above are examples of significant coverage for a footballer as they do not address Shiryayeva directly and in detail.
- Mykyta Hrebenshchykov: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 10:12, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played part of 4 games in the 3rd tier of Ukraine before disappearing. No evidence of WP:GNG. I found Suspilne, which mentions him once, and a bunch of interviews with a musician from Kyiv who shares the same name but goes by 'The Curly'. The footballer is from Chernihiv and looks nothing like the musician. If the musician is notable, then a separate article should be started at The Curly but I see no evidence that he is notable either.
- Vladyslav Kosov: nominated at AfD; notified Iliochori2 (talk · contribs) 12:42, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played a small part in 2 matches for Chernihiv in the third tier of Ukraine in November 2020 then was apparently released and hasn't been heard from since. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met and nothing found from reliable, independent sources in Ukrainian except for database sources like the ones already used in the article, which fail to establish notability per SPORTBASIC, which says Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources
- Danylo Safonov: nominated at AfD; notified Andriyrussu (talk · contribs) 13:01, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the sources in the article give any indication of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My own Ukrainian searches found nothing better than Kramatorsk Post, a hyper local news source that only mentions him once. I have checked the Ukrainian Wikipedia article and all of the sources used are database sources, so don't confer notability.
- Galin Bogdanov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 14:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Soccerway stub with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best sources that I could find in Bulgarian searches were Vitosha News, passing mentions in results listings, Gong, a single passing mention, and Blitz, a squad listing.
- Afonso Caetano: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 09:12, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played a number of games for Braga's B team a few years ago but seems to lack the significant coverage for WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. The best sources that I can find are Maisfutebol, which is a basic transfer announcement with only the bare minimum of details, and Record, which confirms his age, length of contract and briefly summarises his previous teams. It provides no more info than a database source would and, on its own, is not enough to pass GNG or SPORTBASIC.
- Charlotte Fleming: nominated at AfD; notified Dwanyewest (talk · contribs) 09:39, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Previous 2 AfDs resulted in clear consensus to delete. My rationale for this 3rd AfD will be basically the same as what User:Dougal18 said in the previous one. Fleming does not seem to meet WP:GNG and articles from clubs that she plays for or used to play for are not independent of the subject so do not confer notability. FA WSL Full Time is the only source that I can find that might contribute towards GNG but, on its own, is not enough.Source analysis will follow shortly.
- 2023–24 Nottingham Forest Women F.C. season: nominated at AfD; notified Trentperson (talk · contribs) 11:32, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unfortunately, the third tier FA Women's National League North does not tend to get anywhere near as much coverage as the Women's Super League or the Women's Championship (England) hence why we tend not to have season articles for its clubs nor player articles for its players. For this to be kept, it would need to meet WP:GNG in its own right but I can't see anything about this season so far that has received significant coverage from WP:RS that are independent of the subject (see WP:IS). Currently, there is no evidence of GNG being met whatsoever.Top tier seasons like 2023–24 Manchester United W.F.C. season are generally notable because the events are covered in detail by RS like the BBC. I can't see Nottingham Forest Women getting the same level of coverage. If season articles at this level are decided to be inherently notable following this AfD, this would then mean we potentially should have such articles on all Championship teams as well as National League Premier teams - but I would like to see evidence of notability first before we plunge into mass creation. Currently, we only have season articles for WSL teams.
- Najiballah Karimi: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 12:21, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite being capped at international level, I can't find even one source that pushes this anywhere near WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Shahidvaez1384, but the coverage is not significant and it's an official website for a sports club, so it won't be WP:RS or independent in any case.
- Ruslan Bashirov: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 12:05, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Semi-pro player with no indication of passing WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. There is a Russian businessperson with the same name but this DP article means that he is about 32 years old now so clearly cannot be the same person as the Bashirov subject to this AfD. The best that I could find in Russian and Belarusian sources was Sport5, a very brief announcement of his departure from FC Maxline Vitebsk, and Daily Storm, which mentions him a few times and has a very small quote from him about an infamous incident involving Pavel Mamayev and Aleksandr Kokorin. The article contains no information about Bashirov other than to say that he is on the books of FC Leningradets Leningrad Oblast. I could not find even one independent article with detailed information about this particular Ruslan Bashirov.
November 2023
[edit]- I Gusti Made Astawa: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 13:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Potential failure of WP:GNG and possibly even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Playing as a professional is no longer an automatic exemption from GNG. All I can find are database sources, Wikipedia mirrors and a Blogspot page called 'Aremania'. There is also a page on Indonesian Teacher Association which has no info. From it we can presume that he is/was a teacher but there is no true claim to notability here.
- Marcus Peixoto: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 13:33, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played a few games for Dempo then seemingly disappeared. I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources I can find are Rediff, Pune Mirror and The Hard Tackle, all of which only mention Peixoto once and do not address him in any detail at all.
- Paul Alain Bingan: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 14:17, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The sourcing for this article just is not good enough for a WP:BLP. Even the 2011 archive, which is the furthest back that I could find, is a dead link. In any case, cotonsport.com would not have been an independent source. I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV under "Paul Bingan", "Paul Alain Bingan" or "Alain Bingan". I respect that this article has gone unchallenged since 2008 but I think that it's time to consider deletion.
- Min Ko Thu: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 14:27, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Would have been an unsourced BLP if it were not for me adding the Soccerway link. My searches using the Burmese name did not yield any relevant hits. The best that I could find from his English name was ASEAN Football, which is just a trivial mention. I couldn't find anything in my WP:BEFORE search that shows a passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and none of the sources that were added to this in the past showed significant coverage from an independent source.
- Szilárd Kovács: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 19:44, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Kovács played 2 games as a professional before disappearing into the semi-pro/amateur tiers of Hungary. In my searches, I couldn't find anything that would satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Please note that DVTK is not an independent source as it is the website for Diósgyőri VTK. From independent sources, I could only find trivial mentions like BOON and Nemzeti Sport, which don't confer notability.
- Udom Jokrob: nominated at AfD; notified Larbkai (talk · contribs) 16:09, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: A BLP sourced only to a permanently dead link. No indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met. My own Thai searches led me to Blog Gang, however, this is only a passing mention followed by an image caption. In addition, this seems to be WP:USERGENERATED so would not meet WP:RS standards anyway. There are more blog posts by the same user here and here that also mention Jokrob in passing but, in any case, even if this were an acceptable source, we would need the coverage to be significant and addressing Jokrob in detail, which isn't the case.
- Stanislav Hristov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 17:10, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP that is some way below our standards in terms of sourcing. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My own Bulgarian searches yielded Topsport, a squad list mention, Blitz, a trivial mention of his departure, and Varna24, which confirms that he joined Spartak after a trial but does not give any in-depth information. The Varna24 is the closest thing to significant coverage but, on its own, is nowhere near GNG.
- Chanthavixay Khounthoumphone: nominated at AfD; notified Garcha1625 (talk · contribs) 12:31, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The PROD was added by the creator but not sure if this was intentional so WP:G7 might not apply. The concern here is around WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. The best sources found in non-Laotian news sources were Okezone, which is a passing mention, and Suara, which only contains minimal information - his age, position, club and number of caps. Such info goes no further than Transfermarkt and Soccerway. Laotian searches yielded Media Laos, a squad list mention, and Lao Daily, which confirms that he and one other player became the first Laotians to score in the U-23 Asian Cup. This, by itself, is not enough to justify a stand-alone article on the subject.
- Yaar Vichre: nominated at AfD; notified Harmangeet Singh (talk · contribs) 15:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:COI creation on the back of a massive push from two editors to get an article for Binder Pal Fateh on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Binder Pal Fateh for more context. Binder Pal Fateh himself has made edits to this article. Does not meet WP:NSONG or WP:GNG. The Daily Post source is not enough to be considered non-trivial, it simply just states that Amrinder Gill has a good voice and that the song is about the pain of separation from family. PTC Punjabi, to me, just comes across as a routine song announcement rather than a detailed review or analysis of the song.
- Edward Polo: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 13:52, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything outside of the usual database sources and Wikipedia mirrors about this footballer. I have searched both "Eddie Polo" and "Edward Polo" in conjunction with "Nigeria" and "Bayelsa" separately and found no acceptable sources for WP:SPORTBASIC #5 let alone WP:GNG. The best sources found were Intikalat and Todo Por El Fútbol, both database sources. Other than that, I can only find stuff about the more notable Eddie Polo and a bunch of stuff about people playing polo and websites selling polo shirts.
- Valery Noufor: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 13:56, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP. No evidence of WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Best source found was Cam Lions, which mentions him in passing only. The only other sources turning up for me are the usual junk database sources like Transfermarkt and BeSoccer and Wikipedia mirrors.
- Eric Christian Ndjie: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 14:05, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Another very poorly sourced BLP that is barely even an 'article' with no sign of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best sources that I can find are Grioo, Cam Lions 1 and Cam Lions 2, all of which are trivial mentions of Ndjie. If this is kept, the article should be moved to Eric Ndjie as the above sources omit the middle name, which only seems to be used in database sources.
- Golopo Nemba: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 14:14, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Found nothing decent under "Golopo Nemba", "Golopo Bambara" or "Golopo Ba Mbara". The only reason I tried the last one was because of Football Database. I found a squad list mention in Camfoot but this is not enough for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Moussa Nassourou: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 14:29, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Another BLP with unacceptable sourcing and no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best that I could find was a passing mention in BBC Sport and some brief coverage in a Wordpress blog, which is not WP:RS.
- Mohammed Al-Marri: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 12:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant coverage in Arabic, no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The only sources that I can find are about a Saudi youth footballer with the same name.
- Ivan Shavel: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 14:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Shavel appeared to have a very brief pro career and I can't find any significant coverage per WP:GNG or even the bare minimum of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best that I could find were Football.by, an U16 squad list and BSU, an announcement of being part of the squad that reached the second qualifying round of the UEFA Youth League. These are very minor mentions of youth achievements and hence fall foul of WP:YOUNGATH requirements too.
- Gastón Rapolo: nominated at AfD; notified М. Тито (talk · contribs) 18:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant coverage in Argentine media. The best mentions that I can find for Gastón Silva is an image caption in Clarín and Solo Ascenso, which mentions him once in a long list of players. I can't find anything decent under the name of 'Gastón Rapolo' at all. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. If somehow kept, this should be moved to Gastón Silva (Argentine footballer) or some other suitable title to reflect that sources seem to have his surname down as 'Silva', including the sole source already used (Soccerway).
- James Agrono: nominated at AfD; notified М. Тито (talk · contribs) 18:38, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There were two low-level Colombian footballers with this name. The other one is James Agrono Hurtado. I can't really find much about Agrono Saénz and can't find anything that complies with WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Jávea, which mentions a midfielder of this name but this is more likely to be Agrono Hurtado since Agrono Saénz is apparently a defender. I also found a passing mention in El Espectador, which is worthless and I have no idea which Agrono it refers to as there is no useful info.
- Yanga Gcilisha: nominated at AfD; notified М. Тито (talk · contribs) 18:50, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: If this is somehow kept, the article should be moved to Mapogo Maphakane as I can't find any sources that show "Yanga" or "Gcilisha" for this guy except sites that are obvious Wikipedia mirrors. In any case, I'm struggling to see how WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5 might be met. Sowetan Live is a trivial mention, and SNL24 mentions him in an incident where a referee showed him 2 yellow cards and forgot to send him off.
- The Nile Fc: nominated at AfD; notified Sultan.Zimbabwe (talk · contribs) 15:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This is the 2nd time that this article has been created (previously a speedy delete). I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG being met and WP:V might even be a concern. Contrary to what the article says, they did not win the Egypt Cup in 2019. That would be quite remarkable if a team formed in 2015 and playing in the 4th tier did. I don't think that they even played in the qualifying rounds.
- Dalglish Papin Test: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 13:40, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite being probably named after two very notable footballers, I'm not seeing any notability for Dalglish Papin Test himself. I can't find anything close to WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Best sources found were an image caption in Bharian and a passing mention in Dayak Daily. Just searching for "Dalglish Test" only brings back results about Kenny Dalglish testing positive for COVID-19.
- DDP DJ Dominic Pewe€ DJ D P: nominated at AfD; notified KOFA DOMINIC (talk · contribs) 20:15, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Escapes WP:A7 due to several claims of being 'well known' and a celebrity and winning awards at the national level. Despite this, I can't find even one decent WP:RS about him and WP:NMUSICIAN doesn't look to be met. If kept, then the article should be moved to DDP DJ Dominic Pewee, which appears to be the common name. I can't move it myself as that title is protected against creation.
- Gheorghe Bantîș: nominated at AfD; notified MoldovaFootball4ever (talk · contribs) 16:10, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The article is little more than a database entry and my searches didn't yield anything that would satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources were FMF and NOI, both trivial mentions.
- Misriadi Didiet: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 14:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm struggling to find any evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. The best sources found in an Indonesian search were Kutai Kartanegara, Viva and Liputan6, all of which only mention Misriadi in passing. I could not find any WP:RS that took Misriadi to one side and analysed him in detail.
- James Yoku: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 14:48, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to fail the bare minimum of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 as well as WP:GNG. Searches of "James Yoku" and "Jemes Yoku" failed to yield anything close to significant coverage for me. He only played one professional game according to Football Database.
- Andi Hasa: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 19:02, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm struggling to find evidence of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. He is present in most database sources, which do not confer notability, but I can only find trivial coverage in acceptable news sources, such as Panorama.
- Ani Adjimanova: nominated at AfD 19:22, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unfortunately, I could not find any significant coverage at all, just database pages like Mak Fudbal. I even searched in Macedonian (Ани Аџиманова) but with no success. No evidence of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. I created this article in good faith under a presumption that significant coverage would exist but I have failed to find evidence to support my weak presumption.
December 2023
[edit]- Lalrampana Pauta: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 22:39, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: None of the sources provided actually address this footballer in any great detail, meaning that WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG are not met, the former not accepting database sources. The best sources that I can find are The Print and Football Counter, neither of which are more than a trivial mention.
- Vladyslav Kuznyechikov: nominated at AfD; notified Andriyrussu (talk · contribs) 11:55, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence to suggest that Kuznyechikov meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. His career consists of nothing more than appearances in Volyn Lutsk's reserve team. Searches in Ukrainian give some stories about a refugee of the same name but I can't find anything about the footballer other than the stats sites used in this article and the Ukrainian Wikipedia article, none of which confer notability.
- Ilgar Nabiyev: nominated at AfD; notified Lglukgl (talk · contribs) 22:33, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite searching "İlqar Nəbiyev" and "Ilgar Nabiyev", I was unable to find any evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best that I could find was Milli, which is just a Q&A with no independent analysis at all. In any case, one source is not enough for GNG or SPORTBASIC.
- Irvin Soskoy: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 22:08, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer with very minor professional career and no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC has been provided. Even prior to WP:NSPORTS2022, this would have been a deletion candidate as he only played 10 minutes at professional level and has no apparent significant coverage. The best Indonesian source that I could find was Indosport, which was a squad list mention.
- Kishon Philip: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 14:26, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: 'Kishson' appears to be the correct spelling of his given name but I still can't find any coverage that comes close to WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Soccer Kakis and Sports 247 but both of these are just trivial mentions of him.
- Jean-Paul Adela: nominated at AfD; notified MbahGondrong (talk · contribs) 15:12, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer with no clear evidence to support a WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC pass. The best sources that I can find are Nation 1 and Nation 2, both from the same newspaper and both only mentioning Adela once in passing.
- Ustin Cerga: nominated at AfD; notified MoldovaFootball4ever (talk · contribs) 19:21, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing enough for a passing of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best sources that I can find are IPN, a trivial mention, Sports.md 1, a basic Q&A with no independent analysis at all, and Sports.md 2, which also has no significant independent analysis of his responses to constitute significant coverage of Cerga.
- Vladimir Cheptenari: nominated at AfD; notified MoldovaFootball4ever (talk · contribs) 15:22, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not able to find any sources that satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC about this footballer. Passing mentions like ESP and FMF were all that I could find.
- Mothers FM: nominated at AfD; notified Desmondkantwi (talk · contribs) 10:32, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No improvement on the declined draft Draft:Desmond Antwi. This article doesn't seem to pass WP:NRADIO, which refers to WP:GNG. I note that the radio station is mentioned in passing in a few reliable sources like GhanaWeb and Ghana Soccernet but we need more than passing mentions for an article.
- Bubai Singh: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 10:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer with a very brief professional career and no evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best sources found were Indian Sports News and
- Fanai Lalmuanpuia: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 11:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: For over a decade, this has been tagged as being in desperate need for an improvement and doesn't meet our high standards for BLPs. In my own searches, I can't find evidence of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. The sources that I found were Asian Age, Herald Goa and Rediff but these are only trivial mentions of the subject.
- Nima Tamang: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 11:19, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Tamang had an incredibly brief career as a professional and doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I can only find coverage like Sportskeeda and Times of India, both of which only mention him in passing as the scorer of a consolation goal in a 10-1 defeat.
- Mohammed Al-Omran: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 11:32, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 1.5 games of football over 7 years ago and then disappeared. I can't find any significant coverage at all when searching in Arabic and the foreign language Wikipedia articles about him also contain no meaningful coverage. Seems to fail WP:SPORTBASIC #5 by some way.
- Abdulaziz Al Yazidi: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 11:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This badly sourced BLP makes no claim to notability per WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC nor was I able to find any in Arabic searches. The best that I can find is Yemeni Communities, which trivially mentions a goalkeeper of the same name. Given that the subject of this AfD is allegedly a Qatari midfielder, we can presume that this is just a namesake. It wouldn't be enough for notability anyway.
- Draft:Alex Bickerton: nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.200.85 (talk · contribs) 17:57, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Draft:Bickes Limited: nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.201.212 (talk · contribs) 18:02, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Hoax article. No such company ever existed. This is part of a long-term 'Bickerton' abuse campaign. Draft:Alexander Bickerton is even salted now due to the abuse. This MfD and this one are other examples of hoaxes from the same user. I believe 'T2 Travel Coaches' is a continuation of the Draft:T2 Travel hoax and 'Lauren Blake' is the same person as Draft:Laura Blake.In any case, searching "Bickes Limited" and "T2 Travel Coaches" yields no results at all.
- Denis Shnitov: nominated at AfD; notified Geregen2 (talk · contribs) 11:38, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Played a single game in the second tier of Russia about 3 years ago before disappearing. I am not convinced that this passes WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG and the current article only uses database sources, which fail to confer notability. The best Russian sources that I could find were Redyarsk and FCDM, both of which were only passing mentions of the subject. Given that he seems to have disappeared, I don't think notability in the near future is that likely either.
- Meshal Al-Hamdan: nominated at AfD; notified Qautro (talk · contribs) 12:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing 3 games of football in previous seasons, I can't find any evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. Best sources appear to be a squad listing in Alyaum and a youth camp call up announcement in Sport KSA.
January 2024
[edit]- Heri Saputra: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 11:47, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any Indonesian coverage that meets WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG, even when searching under the alternative spelling of "Hery Saputra".
- Elijeu De Jesus Belo Soares: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 12:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Kept previously because database sources showed that he had 2 caps. Being an international footballer is no longer a valid reason to have an article and WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC are, instead, the relevant criteria. I can't find any non-database coverage on him so I don't think that he even passes WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I would recommend deletion this time around unless anyone can provide clear significant coverage of him.
- Waskito Sujarwoko: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 12:34, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 8 professional matches over a decade ago but no clear evidence of WP:SIGCOV or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found an image caption in Republik, a passing mention in Viva and a squad listing in Detik but nothing close to significant coverage.
- Ekene Igwe: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 12:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced since it was created in 2009 by a user that ended up being blocked for such behaviour. I can't find any significant coverage that would satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The Czech source Deník has an article that has a couple of quotes from him but gives us no independent coverage about Igwe, aside from the fact that he played in the lower levels of the Czech Republic at the time.
- Raymond Ndong Ndong: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 12:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can prove that he existed because he is mentioned in passing in this blog and he has a Soccerway profile but I can find no evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC #5 nor any other guideline. Created in 2008 by a user that ended up being blocked for creating such articles.
- Jean Mendoua: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 13:21, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: An extremely poorly sourced BLP with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches under "Jean Mendoua" and "Jean Francis Mendoua" brought up little on the footballer of this name other than database sources like Football Database.
- Lalremruata Arema: nominated at AfD; notified Hadfadkar (talk · contribs) 17:26, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Best sources found were Goal.com, a trivial mention and a squad listing, Yahoo, a squad listing, and The Sangai Express, which is a trivial mention.
- Ugur Jahangirov: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 20:03, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: No sign of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best Azerbaijani sources that I found were Idman and Sportal, both of which are just squad list mentions.
- Zsolt Merczel: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 21:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 29 minutes of professional football before disappearing. There is no sign that Merczel Zsolt meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found this blog entry which mentions him but it is way short of the detail required to build a proper biography from.
- Electo Wilson: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 21:34, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer that doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. All I can find are this brief transfer announcement and this trivial mention about a good performance in one match.
- Mátyás Lelkes: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 21:41, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Lelkes played one professional game before disappearing. I can't find any significant coverage so there are doubts around WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC here. I found a match report mention in Paraméter and a squad list mention in the same source. This is far from significant enough.
- Hotel Marina Balatonfüred: nominated at AfD; notified FrantisekKorbel (talk · contribs) 22:04, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Hotel Annabella (AfD). I can't see any evidence of meeting WP:NCORP or WP:NBUILD. All I can find are just the usual travel and tourism websites, which don't confer notability. We don't need an article on every single hotel, only the ones with historical or architectural significance.
- Grand Hotel Sunny Beach: nominated at AfD; notified FrantisekKorbel (talk · contribs) 22:18, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability issues since 2017. I agree with the comment User:HeliosBirdBrain made on the talk page. Should this be here? it doesn't seem like it has any notable features or history beyond being a hotel. It previously had ads, so it looks like it was just added for the take of the hotel more than documenting something of note?I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG, WP:NCORP or WP:NBUILD. This hotel does not seem to have any historical, cultural or architectural significance. Being the 3rd tallest building in Sunny Beach doesn't cut it for me. Searches in Bulgarian and English only yield the usual travel and tourism sites and UK tabloid mentions of there being good deals at the hotel.

- Draft:Alex Bickerton: nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.201.139 (talk · contribs) 13:32, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with only user-generated references. Ordinarily, this should be allowed to sit and be deleted after 6 months but this has been created by a long-term hoaxer on Wikipedia, who has now been blocked for a month. The content is quite similar to the article deleted just a few days ago at this MfD and the same article was also basically deleted at this MfD and this one. They are all about an 18 year old from Newcastle pretending to be an actor.
- Tartu Rugby Klubi Lelo: nominated at AfD; notified RugbyUrulez (talk · contribs) 14:44, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The Estonian Wikipedia article doesn't contain any significant independent coverage and my own searches found nothing better than directory entries like E-business Register. I can't see any passing of WP:GNG here and a rugby club simply existing does not automatically make it notable.
- RC Yangiyer: nominated at AfD; notified RugbyUrulez (talk · contribs) 14:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I was considering just redirecting this database entry to List of rugby clubs in Uzbekistan but, to be honest, every club in that list seems to have serious notability issues so I may well need to nominate them all separately for deletion anyway and then the unsourced list itself would become redundant. The only source seems to be a forum post written by someone who manages rugby in Uzbekistan. This would not be a reliable or independent source and searches in Uzbek and English do not yield any decent sources at all.
- Hotel Burgas Beach: nominated at AfD; notified FrantisekKorbel (talk · contribs) 14:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Same sort of case as Grand Hotel Sunny Beach (AfD). Doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, WP:NCORP or WP:NBUILD. Not every 4 star hotel is automatically notable (in fact, this source says that it's only a 3 star). I can't find any evidence of historical, architectural or cultural significance to warrant an entire article of its own here. It is listed in all of the usual hotel booking websites but I can't find any independent journalism.
- Rufat Abbasov: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 14:36, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer with only 160 mins of professional league football to date. My search of Azerbaijani sources didn't yield any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. At first glance, Sportline looks decent but it's, in fact, almost 100% quote content so doesn't actually contain any independent analysis of Abbasov. Baku Plus was just two passing mentions in a match summary on a reserve fixture. If he becomes notable later, this can always be recreated but we shouldn't be writing articles on footballers that haven't reached that level yet.
- Zé Miguel: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 14:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any evidence that Zé Miguel has ever been discussed at great length in his career. The best that I can find is Record, which is not enough on its own. He doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Gugum Gumilar: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 15:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: No apparent passing of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best that I could find were Tribun News, an image caption, and Bola, which is mostly just a quote from the subject.
- Wilfredo Genes: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 15:17, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: From what I can tell, Genes had a very brief career in Indonesia. I couldn't find evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 but did do extensive searches. Ayo Bandung and Bulao were just squad listings. Kompas, Okezone and Tribun Kaltim only mention Genes once in passing.
- RC Qanot: nominated at AfD; notified RugbyUrulez (talk · contribs) 00:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to RC Yangiyer. I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG and the only reference used is a forum post, which is an unacceptable source. I can't find any significant coverage in the Latin or Cyrillic alphabets in my own searches.
- RK Tacklers: nominated at AfD; notified RugbyUrulez (talk · contribs) 01:00, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Abdulrazak Yusuf: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 13:05, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: As far as I can tell, he has only played one half of a professional game and I can't find any evidence of an ongoing career. More importantly, I can't find any evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. According to Livesport he played for Niger Tornadoes F.C. for a short while but I can't find anything close to significant coverage and it doesn't look like he got much playing time with them either.
- Fahad Al-Malki: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 13:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any non-database sources on this player in Arabic. No evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Mohammed Khalfan (footballer, born 1994): nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 13:56, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can find plenty about Mohammed Khalfan (footballer, born 1992) and Mohammed Khalfan (footballer, born 1998) but nothing about this Qatari footballer. Soccerway shows a very brief pro career but I can't find any evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC being met from my Arabic searches.
- Henri Mata: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 20:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Inactive low level Albanian footballer with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found this and this in Panorama but neither of them would be considered significant as they are mostly just long quotes from the player but with no meaningful third party content.
- Deyan Velkov: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 20:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: In researching this one, I've dug quite far back in Bulgarian archives. Darik News, Gong and Topsport were the best that I could find. All of those are passing mentions of Velkov and do not demonstrate WP:SPORTBASIC #5. No apparent active career and he last made a professional appearance almost 20 years ago so I see no reason to retain in draft.
- User:Thesardauna/sandbox: nominated at MfD; notified Thesardauna (talk · contribs) 09:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: CV posting of a 'distinguished' academic. WP:G11 declined although I do think that this is bad enough to actually meet it and I suspect, if the article were in mainspace, the G11 would have been performed. It is littered from top to bottom with sentences like His influence extends far beyond the classroom, as he continues to inspire students and colleagues alike with his passion for learning and his unwavering commitment to excellence. and Through his teaching, research, and mentorship, Professor Adamu continues to inspire the next generation of mathematicians, leaving an indelible mark on the academic landscape. and Professor Adamu Magaji Yunbunga, mni, stands as a beacon of intellectual curiosity and a testament to the transformative power of education which are not neutral and have no place in the project. This is not just a couple of sentences that are an issue, it is the whole article. We have WP:NOTCV, which is policy. The entire article is just a posting of a CV so would require a fundamental rewrite to be encyclopaedic. In my view, it shouldn't matter whether it is in user, draft or main space. G11 should be applied.
- Abdul Maroof Gullestani: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 20:24, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I wasn't able to find any evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5, which would be the minimum requirement. This included a search in his native language (عبدالمعروف گلستانی). The best that I could find was a single passing mention in Dawn.
- Rahil Ahmad Fourmoli: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 14:58, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite a handful of caps, I could not find any significant coverage in his native language (his name translates to احمد رحیل فورملی) or otherwise. No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 being met, which is the bare minimum requirement.
- Udeorah Uche: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 18:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP with no acceptable sources and no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Created back in 2009 when standards of BLPs were much lower, although the creator was still blocked indefinitely for making articles such as this one. Supersport is only a trivial mention of Uche and the only other mention of him was on Colinudoh.com, which shows him being named in a squad with Joseph Yobo, Nwankwo Kanu and a few other famous names. That said, WP:NOTINHERITED applies and Uche would need significant coverage about him to have his own article, which I could not find despite searching "Ude Uche" and "Uche Udeorah" as well.
February 2024
[edit]- Dimitris Raspas: nominated at AfD; notified Fbgpwns5277 (talk · contribs) 10:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Hasn't played professionally since 2020 and insufficient coverage for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC in my searches. His name is "Δημήτρης Ρασπάς" in Greek. Phile News mentions him scoring in the Europa League and then going on military service. Since that military service, he seems to have disappeared into the amateur tiers of Cyprus. Phile News mentions him again in 2022 but it's just a transfer announcement with no independent analysis. There are further copied and pasted transfer announcements in subsequent years. In 2023, we have Sport FM and, in 2024, we have Cyprus Times. Transfer announcements that are copied and pasted from the club websites are not acceptable for SPORTBASIC.
- Ádám Érsek: nominated at AfD; notified IQual (talk · contribs) 11:12, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I am unable to find any significant coverage in Hungarian or Slovak media. MY Nitra covers him scoring 4 goals in a match but the article lacks depth on him as an individual. Paraméter is a passing mention in the Hungarian language. Lacks evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Aung Thike: nominated at AfD; notified Thihazaw88 (talk · contribs) 11:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Lack of coverage found when searching "အောင်သိုက်", "Aung Thike" and "Aung Thaik". I can't find evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5, the bare minimum requirement.
- Nyi Nyi Lwin: nominated at AfD; notified Banhtrung1 (talk · contribs) 11:41, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: His name in Burmese is "ညီညီလွင်" and I can't find any coverage that would meet even WP:SPORTBASIC #5, the bare minimum requirement for all sportspeople. It seems his only claim to fame is playing in one friendly match. I'm not seeing any evidence that this person qualifies for their own article.
- Thiha Zaw (footballer, born 1994): nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 11:51, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can find coverage of Thiha Zaw and Hein Thiha Zaw but nothing about this much less notable namesake. It was initially a BLP PROD but it was contested with the addition of the 3 sources currently cited in the article, none of which seem to work. I managed to find Soccerway, which merely confirms that he sat as an unused sub for 5 matches in 2019. I'm not seeing anything even close to WP:SPORTBASIC #5 for this particular Thiha Zaw.
- Kuban Resort and Aquapark: nominated at AfD; notified FrantisekKorbel (talk · contribs) 10:39, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability since 2017. Neither the hotel nor the aquapark seems to get significant coverage. It gets a passing mention as a 'smaller' aquapark in My London and Birmingham Updates mentions the aquapark once as being the 'easiest for a family trip'. In Bulgarian, the hotel is listed on all of the usual tourism websites like Visit.bg but this is the same coverage that every hotel in Bulgaria gets. This type of coverage is not enough for WP:GNG and Hotel Burgas Beach and Grand Hotel Sunny Beach were basically deleted for the same reasons.
- Hussain Bahzad: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 00:20, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played about 2 minutes of professional league football before retiring. No evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- 2024 Myanmar Futsal League: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 09:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: As this has passed New Page Patrol and is relatively old now, I am not allowed to send to draft. That said, it currently has no acceptable sources and probably shouldn't have passed. I don't consider a Facebook photo to be acceptable justification for an article. Searching in Burmese (မြန်မာဖူဆယ်လိဂ်), I was unable to find any significant coverage of the 2024 season. News Eleven contains a passing mention of the 2020 season, MT News seems to be about a different tournament and is from 2023, this News Eleven article is from 2024 but is about the national team rather than the league. Searching in English, I can find GNLM but that's about the 2023 season and is painfully brief besides. In summary, this article is totally inappropriate for mainspace and I can't find any sources to justify it. If someone can find sources that show in-depth coverage of the 2024 season of this competition, I would suggest moving this to draft space.
- Naing Lin Tun: nominated at AfD; notified Modernrocker4 (talk · contribs) 10:38, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Soccerway does not count towards WP:SPORTBASIC #5 and I couldn't find any evidence of notability in my Burmese and English searches. The MNL is not independent and is only a passing mention and Tribun News is just an image caption from an under-19 fixture.
- 2017 Myanmar Futsal League: nominated at AfD; notified Modernrocker4 (talk · contribs) 10:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of any significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. The only source that I can find about the season is a Blogspot post, which is not an acceptable source.
- Farid Ahmadi: nominated at AfD; notified PS11 (talk · contribs) 12:04, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I couldn't find anything in his native language (فرید احمدی) or otherwise to suggest that he meets even WP:SPORTBASIC #5, which is not surprising given that he only played a handful of games in 2003 before seemingly disappearing.
- Naoto Ishikawa: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 12:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer that only ever played one football match. The best coverage found in Japanese was Goo, a blog post that mentions him in a list of players being released and confirms his date of birth, height, weight and position (so nothing more than a database entry, really) and Targma, which contains a couple of trivial mentions.
- Kei Hirata: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 12:29, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played about 6 minutes of football before retiring. This source is not enough for WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG on its own. The only other source on the footballer of this name seems to be Emine Cross, which is not independent as it appears to be his employer.
- Yu Hyo-jin: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 12:49, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer that only ever played one match at professional level. In Japanese, I found Kazuamata no Tsuzuri, which is evidently a fan blog for Yokohama FC. I also found a user-submitted blog post on Naver about his wedding, which is no better than a social media post in terms of notability. Neither of these are examples of reliable, independent journalism with high standards for fact checking, therefore they do not confer notability. Doesn't seem to meet WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Weberton: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 22:38, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played in 1 cup game in 2009 then disappeared from professional football. I can't find any evidence that Weberton (not to be confused with the hundreds of players called 'Weverton') passes WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Japanese Wikipedia lists the clubs that he played for but I can't find any decent non-database coverage, even when searching in conjunction with his former clubs.
- Jovan Brkljač: nominated at AfD; notified Lotom (talk · contribs) 10:50, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: His professional career lasted all of 44 minutes and I can't find anything even close to meeting WP:SPORTBASIC #5 when searching in Serbian Cyrillic or otherwise.
- Wikipedia:Tojo B @tojobtv Wikipedia Page: nominated at MfD; notified Tojo B (talk · contribs) 14:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Probably not quite blatant enough for a WP:G11 deletion but this is definitely not the type of article that should be in Wikipedia space nor anywhere else for that matter. Looking at the creator's edit history, there is quite a lot of WP:NOTHERE behaviour.
- Darko Pavlović: nominated at AfD; notified Lotom (talk · contribs) 14:14, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 10 minutes of top level football before disappearing into the lower tiers and with no apparent evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. In my searches, I found a blog post in BB Glas, but it's about a goalkeeper who turned 17 in 2021 so clearly not the same guy.
- Miloje Šarčević: nominated at AfD; notified Lotom (talk · contribs) 14:35, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 5 minutes of professional football over a decade ago but has no other claim to notability. I found a passing mention in Radio Pozega but it's nowhere near enough for WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Georges Mvoue: nominated at AfD; notified Lglukgl (talk · contribs) 11:40, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a subject that doesn't demonstrate WP:SPORTBASIC #5 let alone anything more. I found nothing under "Georges Mvoué/Mvoue" or "Georges Emvoue".
- Arbër Hebeja: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 11:18, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played a couple of professional games back in 2018 in the second tier in Albania but his career doesn't seem to have taken off after that. I wasn't able to find any decent coverage in Albanian media so it's hard to see a passing of WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG for Hebeja. I'm happy to assess sources if anyone finds any good ones.
- Rashid Mabkhout: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 11:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Not to be confused with Ali Mabkhout, who is notable. Rashid Mabkhout seemed to disappear after the 2018-19 season and I can find no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 even when searching in Arabic. The best that I can find is FilGoal, which is just a database profile page.
- Nasser Meftah: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 12:02, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer that doesn't seem to meet WP:SPORTBASIC #5 and disappeared after 2017. The best that I can find in Arabic is FilGoal and stories about players with similar names like Ismaël Bennacer and Majed Naser, which don't help matters.
March 2024
[edit]- Danylo Buhayenko: nominated at AfD; notified Andriyrussu (talk · contribs) 14:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Has played a mere 7 minutes of professional football in his career with no sign of activity for almost 4 years. The best coverage that I can find in Ukrainian is Sport.ua, a single passing mention in the prose followed by a squad listing, and UPL, which mentions him once. No sign of passing WP:SPORTBASIC #5 and no clear indication that he will pass any time soon.
- Pyae Moe: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 11:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The article's single source is about a totally different player; it is instead about Kyaw Zin Htet. My own searches bring up plenty of coverage about a writer called 'Pyae Moe Thet War' but very little about this footballer. The best that I could find in Burmese was this trivial mention in Duwun. I can't see a passing of WP:SPORTBASIC from my own research.
- Kyaw Phyo Wai: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 11:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: BLP sourced only to the Facebook page of his employer, which fails WP:RS and WP:IS. The best source that I could find in any language was GNLM, which is just two mentions in squad listings. My Burmese searches didn't yield anything that would satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Chan Nyein Kyaw: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 12:02, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The sourcing is way below our minimum requirements for a BLP and no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC being met. I found Myanmarload, which mentions that he is a former captain of Rakhine United and that he wanted to be a goalkeeper for the national team. It also contains a quote from him. This, on its own, is not enough to justify a stand-alone article on Wikipedia. Myanmar Digital Newspaper is just two passing mentions in a match report. SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG require multiple sources showing significant coverage.
- 2017 Myawady season: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 12:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Article for second tier season that lacks any claim to notability. Sending to AfD as the article is too old to be sent to draft and, in any case, the creator has a history of moving the article back to mainspace without any improvement. Converting this to a redirect would also likely get reverted and I don't see this being a likely search term at all. Frankly, I don't see why we have separate season articles when the parent article is still only a stub. It would make more sense to improve the parent article, surely.
- Nan Min Aung: nominated at AfD; notified Vilnae867 (talk · contribs) 11:09, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything that comes close to WP:SPORTBASIC and this is just one in a series of problematic BLPs created by an editor that is now blocked for such behaviour. The single source used is an extremely short transfer announcement. Further research yields Kompas, a passing mention in the prose followed by a squad list mention, Frontier, a single passing mention, The MNL 1 (manually translated), two trivial mentions about being released from Shan United, and The MNL 2, another passing mention. The last two sources don't really count for notability per SPORTBASIC governing sports bodies are not considered independent of their players.
- Danny Hanley: nominated at AfD; notified Bully Wee (talk · contribs) 15:10, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP on a footballer with a very brief professional career and no evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC #5 let alone WP:GNG. The best source that I could find was BBC, which mentions him twice in the match report. Other sources were trivial mentions at a very low level of Scottish football like Glasgow Times, Herald and Glasgow Times 2.
- Liam Gray: nominated at AfD; notified Blethering Scot (talk · contribs) 16:59, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This article relies a lot on non-independent sources and my own searches don't find anything that would meet WP:SPORTBASIC. There is some coverage of him in non-league like this Daily Record match report, which mentions him scoring a goal and then getting sent off. That, in itself, is not enough for an article. There are other passing mentions such as Daily Record 2 and Edinburgh News.
- Laldingngheta: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 09:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: His professional career lasted only 67 mins and I'm concerned that this doesn't meet WP:SPORTBASIC #5 on available sources. I found a squad list mention on Inkhel and then trivial mentions in New Indian Express, Sportskeeda and ISN.
- Amos Omeje: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 10:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to fall way short of WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I can find nothing other than database sources like Playmaker Stats and a stats-only scorecard like ABC.
- Tinatin Gongadze: nominated at AfD 10:17, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Had 2 caps back in 2006 but can't find any evidence of meeting WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I can't find any coverage of the footballer of this name in any language, although there are a few namesakes, including a translator and a medical doctor. The best that I found on the footballer was Nakrebi, a database source.
- Ana Makharadze: nominated at AfD 10:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Only played 76 mins of one match and no sign of WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches yield nothing better than squad listings in GFF and Sportall.
- Draft:Golightly: nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.200.162 (talk · contribs) 10:34, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: The article claims that "He is regarded as one of the top artists in his area." but no proof of this. No evidence of WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. This article was moved out of draftspace prematurely. A previous version was already sent to draft by Liz under the name of Draft:Luckystarzs.
- Somnath Khara: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 11:09, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Soccerway stub on a footballer that played two matches before disappearing. My own searches yielded nothing better than Telegraph India, which mentions him in the title and an image caption but only once in the main article prose (so it's not WP:SIGCOV), and TOI, another match report that mentions him, this time his performance wasn't so good and the article mentions some mistakes he made but doesn't go into any depth about him as an individual. From the second article, we can perhaps make a presumption as to why his career was so short (although this would be WP:OR) but having a bad game, on its own, is not enough for WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG and I don't see any actual direct significant coverage of Khara.
- Gerardo Hernández: nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 18:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played for a brief time in the second tier of Mexico before hanging up his boots. I can't find anything better than his Transfermarkt profile and a bunch of hits about the unrelated Illian Hernández. No sign of WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Ernesto González (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 18:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Badly sourced BLP. My own searches yielded a passing mention in Noroeste and the usual database sources like BeSoccer and Soccerway. He has an extremely common name so there might be WP:SIGCOV out there somewhere but I'm really struggling and this article has been in a dreadful state since 2016 so an AfD is overdue.
- Jesús Silva: nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 00:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. All I can find are trivial mentions in TUDN and SN Digital.
- Cha Dong-hoon: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 00:48, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played in just one professional game before disappearing. Searching in Korean and Japanese, I was only able to find FC Gifu, which is not an independent source, and a bunch of database sources. I can't find anything that would meet WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Pyae Sone Naing: nominated at AfD; notified Nat Taw Linn Htun (talk · contribs) 10:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played at youth level for Myanmar but I can't find any WP:SIGCOV or even enough for WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I found Duwun, which was the best Burmese coverage in my searches. English-language coverage was limited to trivial mentions in ASEAN Football, FAS and Jakarta Globe.
- Cristian Cîrlan: nominated at AfD; notified CarasMoldovagoal (talk · contribs) 12:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Not to be confused with the Romanian former vice-president of Steaua who died in 2020 at the age of 47. The Moldovan footballer's article is cited only to database sources and my own searches yielded IPN, Moldova Sports and FMF, none of which are examples of WP:SIGCOV. PROD was contested in 2014 due to the subject playing a few games in the Moldovan league. WP:SPORTBASIC now supersedes that.
- Jorge Laguna: nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 14:37, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Extremely poorly sourced and doesn't show evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC. My own searches yielded Info7, Medio Tiempo and Diario de Morelos but these are just squad list mentions and don't show WP:SIGCOV of Laguna.
- Leonel Pérez (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 14:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: It seems his main claim to fame is playing 23 mins in the Mexican second tier many years ago. The best source that I can find is Informador, which is simply a match report that mentions him scoring a goal in a cup match. I can't find anything towards WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Sanders Saurajen: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played only 138 mins of football before leaving the sport to pursue a career in dentistry. Now, GIFC is obviously not an independent source as it was his employer at the time, so does not count towards WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, both of which require multiple sources independent of the subject. In terms of independent sourcing, I found nothing better than Straits Times, a trivial mention, SPL, also a trivial mention and from the FA of Singapore as well so probably not independent, and Active SG Circle, which contains 4 mentions in a match report.
- Ryo Nakano: nominated at AfD; notified Iancash81 (talk · contribs) 10:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer that played a small part in 3 matches before seemingly disappearing. The only Japanese source that I could find that might be about him was Gekisaka, but this is an interview of a school student so clearly falls foul of WP:YOUNGATH. In Singaporean media, ignoring all the coverage from Albirex, which is not independent of Nakano, we only have SPL1, SPL2 and Borneo Bulletin, all of which are just trivial mentions. Based on this evidence, doesn't look to pass WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Ronald Asamsum: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 17:05, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite playing some matches for Persiwa Wamena, this footballer doesn't seem to meet WP:SPORTBASIC. The article is currently nothing more than a stats stub and my own searches yielded only Metrobanjar, a squad list mention, Banjarmasin, a trivial mention, and Viva, another trivial mention. Soccerway and other stats sites have his name as 'Asmsamsum', which also yields no good results.
- Aldo Elmazi: nominated at AfD; notified SmackJam (talk · contribs) 17:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 1 professional league game then disappeared. No sign of WP:SPORTBASIC. My own searches yielded only database sources and one trivial mention in Panorama.
- Franc Lena: nominated at AfD; notified SmackJam (talk · contribs) 16:36, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Lena has played a few times in the second tier of Albania but there is no apparent significant coverage, so WP:SPORTBASIC looks doubtful. All that I can find are transfer announcements that mention him briefly like Panorama, ABC News 1, a copy and paste of a press announcement from his own club, ABC News 2, a single passing mention, and 2lonline. He appears to be known as "Franci Lena" but searching this also doesn't yield any WP:SIGCOV.
- Mikhail Khodunov: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 15:32, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Doesn't seem to meet #5 of WP:SPORTBASIC and his professional career consisted only of 293 mins of game time. I found no decent coverage in Belarusian and Russian searches yielded only a trivial match report mention in Gorod214 and a list of footballers sitting on the bench in the same source. Neither of these show WP:SIGCOV. The articles in both Belarusian Wikipedias also don't show SIGCOV, just database sources.
- Zarulizwan Mazlan: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 18:45, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The current article doesn't show how the subject meets #5 of WP:SPORTBASIC and I wasn't able to find anything good in my searches. He is mentioned in passing on his FA's website about a youth fixture, NST, which mentions him in passing in a match report, and Bharian, another passing mention in a report about youth football. His entire career lasted only 170 mins and consisted only of games for Terengganu's reserve team.
- Hassan Basri Ridzuan: nominated at AfD; notified Shafiqabu (talk · contribs) 18:54, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: In his relatively short career, it doesn't appear that he garnered enough significant coverage to meet even #5 of WP:SPORTBASIC, which is the minimum requirement. The best sources found were HMetro and Bharian, neither of which address the subject in any detail.
April 2024
[edit]- Pedro Campos (footballer, born 1995): nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 10:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played only one professional game in the second tier of Portugal before playing in the third tier and below. I found CNN, which is just a brief article about him signing a professional contract. For his amateur career, I can only find trivial squad list mentions like Record, Mais Futebol and Santo Tirso Digital. Looks to fall short on WP:SIGCOV.
- Rui Caniço: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 10:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: To this day, Caniço has never played in a professional league game and I'm not seeing enough WP:SIGCOV to justify an article. As a 15 year old, Calcio Mercato posted a rather far-fetched transfer rumour (reposted in this blog), stating that Inter and Milan were looking at him and that Parma and Man City had already offered for him. As with a lot of these rumours, nothing materialised. Not long after, he failed to even play a league game for lowly Estoril Praia and found his level at Sintrense and Coruchense, the latter club not even having its own Wikipedia article! Records disappear entirely after 2018. Other than the dodgy rumour, the best that I can find is Mais Futebol and Correio do Ribatejo, neither of which are close to passing WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Daniel Marinho: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 10:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP stub on a footballer that played one game at professional level before falling into the lower levels. The best that I found were Record, a squad list mention, Radio Geice, a passing mention, and Desportivo Vale do Homem, a squad listing in a local source. I'm not seeing enough WP:SIGCOV or even a passing of WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Ali Sadikhov: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 11:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 82 mins of football four years ago but has since disappeared. I found passing mentions in Football Plus, Sportnet and Macedonian Football but nothing that demonstrates WP:SIGCOV of the subject.
- Iyad Al-Yahri: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 14:12, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 23 minutes at professional level before disappearing. I'm not finding any evidence of WP:SIGCOV for this footballer. Al Watan has a passing mention of a futsal player of the same name but this isn't SIGCOV in any case.
- Omair Essa: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 14:22, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 or WP:GNG. He has played 27 mins of professional football for Qatar SC (please note that this is a football club and not a national team). FilGoal is the only source that I can find but it's just a database source.
- Meshaal Al-Suwaidi: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 14:32, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Another footballer with a minor and brief career. He played only 28 mins in a professional league. The only reliable source on him appears to be Al Kass but, after translation, it's only a passing mention and not WP:SIGCOV.
- Naser Obaid: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 14:38, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Christian Martínez (footballer, born October 1990): nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 14:50, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Martínez has played only 4 minutes of professional league football and there is no sign of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 or any other valid guideline being met. My searches yielded squad list mentions in El Vigía, Esto and Soccer Today, none of which are even close to WP:SIGCOV.
- Boris Boyanchev: nominated at AfD; notified Gandev88 (talk · contribs) 21:15, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played only 132 mins of professional football and doesn't seem to have any WP:SIGCOV. The most recent source that I could find was Top Presa, which confirmed that he was playing in the Regional Amateur Football Groups (Bulgaria), the 4th tier of Bulgarian football, which hardly gives me confidence that SIGCOV will be found. Other sources only address him in passing, such as Marica and Blitz.
- Ángel País: nominated at AfD; notified Durneydiaz (talk · contribs) 18:54, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: According to Soccerway and BDFA, played 7 games of football in his career. The only coverage that I can find is Diario La Región and Futbol Florida, the first of which is just a basic announcement of his departure following a very poor and very short spell at a club. The latter is just a squad listing, which may or may not be the same person. I can't find any WP:SIGCOV.
- Anton Grishi: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 19:02, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Had a somewhat brief career but can't seem to find anything close to WP:SIGCOV. The best that I can find is FK Vllaznia, which is not even close to significant.
- Cristian Câmpean: nominated at AfD; notified Rhinen (talk · contribs) 19:10, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Mohammed Al-Sumaiti: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 19:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 74 mins of football in the Emirates but doesn't seem to have WP:SIGCOV and possibly even fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5. He is mentioned twice in a match report for a friendly in Al Khaleej but this is far from significant.
- Tamás Giák: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 12:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Giák played one professional match but the coverage that I can find lacks the depth to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. There is a BOON article about him, but it's mostly just a long quote from him and the writer does not address Giák in depth. Nemzeti Sport has some coverage but it's just very brief transfer announcements like Egri transfer and leaving for Austria.
- Szabolcs Horváth: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 12:18, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played in 2 matches 15 years ago but has only played in the lower tiers since and does not seem to have any WP:SIGCOV. The best that I could find in Hungarian sources were HEOL, Rangadó and Nemzeti Sport, none of which are even close to being in-depth coverage.
- Gergő Máté: nominated at AfD; notified Canysp (talk · contribs) 12:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Máté played 67 mins of professional football then completely disappeared. I can't even find evidence of any statistical coverage of an amateur career. The best that I could find were Nemzeti Sport and Rangadó, both being trivial mentions and far from WP:SIGCOV. Also per WP:SPORTBASIC, Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.
- Fatjon Muhameti: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 09:36, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP on a former footballer, who had a very brief playing career, and has most recently been a youth coach. Newsport has an article on him but the majority of the post is copied from Muhameti's social media post. Likewise, Bold News is based entirely off Muhameti's Facebook post too. Telegrafi is an independent source in this case but it only mentions him twice so isn't WP:SIGCOV.
- Eni Malaj: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 09:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Former footballer and suspected drug dealer but doesn't seem to have achieved notability for either. Despite searching for a while, I can't find anything other than database sources about his football career, which is unsurprising given that he had a brief career in the 2nd tier of Albania and little else. His career seemed to stop after he was arrested, along with 24 others, for drug trafficking offences. Gazeta Shqip is the source that confirms Malaj's arrest and that he was a former goalkeeper for Tirana but gives no further coverage. Malaj does not seem to meet WP:GNG from his playing career or otherwise and the coverage of the crime is way short of the requirements listed at WP:PERP for a stand-alone article.
- Samuel (footballer, born July 1989): nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 10:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP and my own searches did not yield any WP:SIGCOV. According to Soccerway, his Brazilian football career was very brief and we only seem to have the 1 cup appearance while playing in Japan, which is a very weak notability claim. My own searches yielded only Gekisaka, a very brief transfer announcement and Veertien, which is neither significant nor independent.
- Yuki Toma: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 10:25, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to fail WP:SPORTBASIC #5 as well as WP:GNG. I found a passing mention in Gekisaka and a transfer announcement from Hamamatsu University, the latter being non-independent due to being the university that he attended and played football for. I can't find any independent significant coverage of him.
- 2008 Roasso Kumamoto season: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 10:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to 2008 Vegalta Sendai season, 2008 Shonan Bellmare season and 2008 Ehime FC season. People looking for information about this club or season can easily find it at 2008 J.League Division 2 or Roasso Kumamoto. I can't find any indication that this season is sufficiently notable enough on its own to require a separate article. The copyright infringement case that occurred this season is already mentioned in the main article and, in fact, is not even covered in this sub-article. In my view, this shell of an 'article' should be deleted with no prejudice against creating again in the future if anyone can prove that it has WP:SIGCOV and requires being split from the parent article.
- Odeh Ogar: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 11:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: My own research indicates that he never played for Nigeria. He is not mentioned at National Football Teams for 2006 nor any other year for Nigeria. Given the sort of players in that squad at the time, I imagine Ogar would be quite well known and easy to find sources for if the claim were true. Even the unreliable Transfermarkt doesn't claim him as an international. More importantly, I can't find any WP:SIGCOV on Ogar and the article was created by a now permanently banned user that was well known for adding unsourced and dubious content across the project, which has taken years to undo.
- Femi Babatunde: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 11:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Article created by a now permanently banned disruptive account that became notorious for adding dubious content to the project. Other than the one source already cited, I can't find anything about this footballer at all. Unless significant coverage is found, Babatunde fails WP:GNG and probably even WP:SPORTBASIC #5, which requires at least one decent source.
- Ahmed Al-Malki: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 21:52, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP. Transfermarkt and Soccerway confirm existence but not notability. I found Alyaum but it's a basic Q&A with the footballer and with no analysis. This doesn't count towards WP:GNG.
- Abdulrahman Al-Kuhaili: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 23:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: We have Soccerway and Football Database to confirm that he exists but his career only lasted a few minutes. I can find Arriyadiyah but it's only a trivial mention. No evidence of WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Hassan Waleed: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 23:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Did have a brief professional career but can't find any clear evidence of meeting WP:GNG, which is what is required. He is not to be confused with the handball player Hassan Walid, about whom plenty of content can be found. My Arabic searches didn't yield any significant coverage about this footballer.
- Stephen Tedja: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 23:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Poorly sourced BLP on a footballer that only ever played one game. In my Arabic searches, I found Al-Sharq, a trivial mention, Kooora, which is no better, and this transfer announcement, which contains no significant detail. No sign of any WP:SIGCOV or even a passing of WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Sugiarto: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 10:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Had a brief career but mostly as a substitute and I can't find any WP:SIGCOV at all in reliable sources. Bola, Viva and Tribun News all confirm that he was a real footballer but none of these are instances of actual significant coverage, which is what is required. Indonesian football was well covered at the time but little was written about Sugiarto it seems.

May 2024
[edit]- Saeed Hizam: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 14:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Only had a brief professional career with no evidence of passing WP:GNG. The only mention of him that I can find from independent news sources is Arabian Gulf League, which is merely a passing mention.
- Abdulelah Al-Zahrani: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 14:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played only a handful of professional games with no apparent WP:SIGCOV. My searches in Arabic don't yield anything other than social media posts, which do not indicate notability.
- Mubarak Al-Breik: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 14:45, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Had a brief career filled with cameo appearances before disappearing in 2020. No sign of any WP:SIGCOV. The closest that I can find is a press conference quote in El Sport, which contains no significant independent analysis of the player.
- Godwin Mathumo: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 16:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stub on a minor badminton player that doesn't meet WP:NBAD and shows no sign of WP:GNG. He has no significant achievements on BWF and his career prize money of $41.25 doesn't give me confidence that Mathumo is a notable professional sportsperson. The best that I can find are passing mentions in CSC and Mmegi and I'm not even convinced that the former source is WP:RS.
- Raúl Pineda Rodríguez: nominated at AfD; notified Stvbastian (talk · contribs) 16:10, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stub on a minor badminton player that doesn't meet WP:NBAD and shows no sign of WP:GNG. He has no significant achievements on BWF, which shows a complete lack of info on him. The best that I can find are passing mentions in Crónica and Movimiento y Deporte neither of which we can build an article from.
- Olatunji Adeola: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 11:05, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: One of many dubious BLPs created by the same permanently banned user, see User talk:Zombie433 for many other examples. I have searched all combinations of Olatunde/Olatunji Adeola Waidi, including changing the name order, and found no useful coverage. All I can find is the same Sky Sports article already used. It's a passing mention so does not comply with WP:GNG.
- Ignatius Ekwunife: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 11:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Another poorly sourced BLP by a banned editor, see User talk:Zombie433 for more examples of these. The only sources found are All Africa 1, a paywalled source that says Ugochukwu Nwankwo, Diri Otimoti and Ebitimi Agogo will run the midfield and Teddy Lucky, Ignatius Ekwunife and Amakiri George in the fore. and All Africa 2, which says The goal disorganised Sharks the more and three bookings to Ignatius Ekwunife, Festus Umasah and Chidiekeke Okefe in a spate of five minutesThese are both passing mentions in a match report and do not constitute WP:SIGCOV. I am unable to verify anything else from this stub and, even if I could, notability is still a big issue.
- Ekene Emigo: nominated at AfD; notified Zombie433 (talk · contribs) 11:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Another creation by Zombie with a lot of dubious info; I can find nothing to verify the move to Leicester City nor the 1 cap for Nigeria. This hasn't always been unsourced. It's previously had the unreliable WP:TRANSFERMARKT as well as a link to National Football Teams, although the profile linked has no confirmation of his cap or even his DOB. He definitely existed because I found trivial mentions in Modern Ghana and RSSSF but none of this is even close to WP:SIGCOV. This article has existed for 16 years without a decent source so, if we can't find one, it needs deleting.

- Shoji Yamada: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 16:34, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unacceptable sourcing on a BLP for a footballer that played in 2 cup games then disappeared. Searching in Japanese, I can only find coverage of the musician of the same name. I've had a look at Japanese Wikipedia but none of the sources there show WP:SIGCOV. Similar case to Yuki Toma and Kei Hirata, which were created by the same editor.
- Shotaro Dei: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 16:44, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unacceptable sourcing on a BLP for a footballer that played in one 2nd tier match and then disappeared to the amateur levels. Searching in Japanese, I can only find a couple of self-published blog posts like La Bola and LiveDoor, which are not considered to be WP:RS. I've had a look at Japanese Wikipedia but none of the sources there show WP:SIGCOV. Similar case to Yuki Toma and Kei Hirata, which were created by the same editor.
- Yasuhiro Tanaka (footballer): nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 16:56, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unacceptable sourcing on a BLP for a footballer that played in 1 cup game then disappeared, although he was briefly on the books for Operário Ferroviário Esporte Clube. Searching in Japanese, I can only find Niigata University and J League, neither of which are significant. I couldn't find any coverage of his very brief spell in Brazil. I've had a look at Japanese Wikipedia but none of the sources there show WP:SIGCOV. Similar case to Yuki Toma and Kei Hirata, which were created by the same editor.
- Kota Yanagisawa: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 17:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Similar case to Yuki Toma and Kei Hirata, which were created by the same editor. The only half-decent source found is Livedoor, a blog post, which falls short of being WP:SIGCOV of Yanagisawa and, in any case, WP:SPORTBASIC and SIGCOV require multiple good sources for a pass. Japanese Wikipedia doesn't have any acceptable sources.
- Takuro Okuyama: nominated at AfD; notified Nameless User (talk · contribs) 17:23, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Yet another really poorly sourced BLP on a footballer that only played 46 mins of football. Japanese Wikipedia has no decent sources. He is mentioned 3 times in this blog post and once in Reds Denk but this is far from enough for WP:GNG.
- Abdullah Majrashi (footballer, born 1990): nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 17:45, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any decent coverage for this footballer that only played one professional match. My Arabic searches are yielding coverage about Abdullah Majrashi (footballer, born 1997) and Ali Majrashi but nothing about the one born in 1990. No evidence that this footballer complies with WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Mohammed Al-Abdooli: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 17:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Made 6 appearances at professional level before disappearing. This article is completely lacking in decent sourcing for a BLP and WP:GNG doesn't seem to be met. The best source that I could find was UAE FA, which only mentions him once in passing.
- Ziyad Al-Mutairi: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 18:02, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer that played 30 mins of professional league football 10 years ago and then disappeared. My Arabic searches failed to yield anything about a footballer of this name and only gave me some coverage on a fencer of the same name. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Abdulellah Jerman: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 18:12, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 6 games at professional level about 10 years ago and then disappeared. The article is a stats stub and doesn't demonstrate a passing of WP:GNG. The only sources that I could find were trivial mentions in Hihi and a forum post in Al Iraq.
- Sudirman (footballer, born 1983): nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 10:45, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Footballer with brief career and with no evidence of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met. The best that I can find is Antara Foto, an image caption. Searching was made difficult by the fact that he shares his name with Piala Jenderal Sudirman, the name of a football competition.
- Artem Zhurko: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 11:00, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Has only played 20 minutes of football to date with no sign of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found only a trivial mention in Tribuna and 2 passing mentions in football.by when searching in Russian and Belarusian. The other Wikipedia projects only have trivial coverage of him.
- Sergey Vabishchevich: nominated at AfD; notified BlameRuiner (talk · contribs) 11:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite a few games for Dinamo Brest many years ago, I can't find any WP:SIGCOV of the footballer of this name. I found kick-off.by and football.by but neither of these are even close to significant. There is a basketball player with the same name but they are different people as the basketball player celebrates his birthday on 4 June.

[edit]- Draft:The LaRussos (TV series): nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.201.137 (talk · contribs) 10:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This isn't blatant enough for WP:G3 but it is a definite hoax. See previous deletions that led to a deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:BBOC, the supposed broadcaster for this TV series, and also Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Lukinson, which contains the rationale for the deletion of Draft:LaRusso (TV series).
- Draft:Mason (TV Series): nominated at MfD; notified 92.40.201.134 (talk · contribs) 10:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to be complete fiction but maybe not blatant enough for WP:G3. Appears to be by the same vandal that created multiple articles relating to Alexander Bickerton, see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Lukinson, as well as several other MfDs that I am happy to produce upon request.
- Yael Pineda: nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 11:15, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: A really poorly sourced article on a BLP about a footballer that briefly played in the 2nd tier of Mexico. The best that I could find was Futbol Sapiens, which is not enough to show a WP:GNG pass.
- Luis Hernández (footballer, born 1992): nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 11:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Potentially fails WP:GNG here. I found him on Transfermarkt and Soccerway but these don't count towards notability. I found some brief mentions in La Brecha, Pasión Rojiblanca and ESPN but none of this can be considered significant coverage.
- Antoine Sallis: nominated at AfD; notified Divyasemails (talk · contribs) 11:40, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Borderline promo piece on a businessperson that doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO. According to WP:RSPS, we should not accept Forbes contributor pieces nor articles on Medium as evidence of notability, as they are essentially self-published and/or have very little editorial oversight. The other sources are also quite suspect and either look like blogs or are written in a very promotional way, which indicates some sort of conflict of interest. My own searches found nothing better.
- Lauren Evans (Scottish footballer): nominated at AfD; notified ScottishFootballObseasive (talk · contribs) 18:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Evans potentially fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC #5 and the article fails to present any acceptable independent sources. The best that I could find was Daily Record, which has 2 quotes from her, an image caption and a passing mention. That's not enough for GNG.
- Abduraouf Hussain: nominated at AfD; notified Mhsohaib (talk · contribs) 16:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hatim Kamal: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 16:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played 51 mins at professional level but no significant coverage cited so no WP:GNG pass looks likely. I found a brief quote in Al-Sharq and an injury announcement in Kooora but neither of these are enough for GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5.
- Murad Gayali: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 16:57, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Played in 5 matches about 6 years ago but hasn't been since. No sign of WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. The best sources found were a goalscorer listing in Sportal, a transfer announcement based on a social media post in Offside Plus and a squad listing in Redaktor.
- Huseyn Mursalov: nominated at AfD; notified Ulvi Rustam (talk · contribs) 20:19, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Erddy Titaley: nominated at AfD; notified Iha9c (talk · contribs) 22:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Indrit Sejko: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 10:00, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst I note that Sejko was extraordinarily young when he made his professional debut, I can't seem to find any coverage of him in Albanian media. Furthermore, I can't find any information about him after his debut; he seems to have disappeared. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC as things stand. No objection to this being restored should WP:SIGCOV occur later in his career as he is still only 18.
- Matthiew Araya: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 10:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The player debuted when he was incredibly young but then disappeared. I'm struggling to even find routine coverage. No evidence that this complies with WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and the current database sources are unacceptable on their own.
- Kim Ju-myong: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 10:23, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: His only 'claim to notability' is playing as a substitute in one friendly match against Bangladesh. There is no reasonable chance of this passing WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC but I'm happy to be proved wrong if people can present significant coverage of him.
- Kim Kong-il: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 10:28, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Whilst a cap usually means you pass WP:GNG, I don't see this being the case here. His 'claim to fame' is one friendly match against Vietnam with this source confirming that it was only an 8 minute cameo. This stats stub should be deleted unless someone can provide evidence that Kim meets GNG.
- Gary Epesso: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 10:31, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Stats stub on a footballer with no evidence of meeting WP:GNG. The best sources that I could find in Philippine media were Dugout, a passing mention, and a Wordpress blog, which is neither reliable nor significant.
- Steljano Velo: nominated at AfD; notified Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk · contribs) 15:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Velo only played in the lower levels of Albanian football and doesn't seem to have any WP:SIGCOV. My own searches only yielded database sources.
- Sandeep Chhillar: nominated at AfD; notified Johnbt21 (talk · contribs) 20:19, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Contested draftify. User:Procyon117 moved over to draft due to poor sourcing but this was reverted by the creator. I'm not convinced that WP:GNG or WP:BIO are met here. The references presented represent the best that can be found on him, as far as I can see. Source analysis to follow.
- Mamokgaase Senyatsi: nominated at AfD; notified Mcwamcwa (talk · contribs) 09:54, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: There is no WP:SIGCOV cited in the article and I found none in a search. WP:SPORTBASIC is very clear when stating that routine coverage in match reports is not enough for an article. I found Idiski Times and Thami Soccer which are just more examples of trivial coverage from match reports.

[edit]- Khwezi Khoza: nominated at AfD; notified Mcwamcwa (talk · contribs) 11:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: As Khoza is playing at school level only, WP:YOUNGATH applies. The guideline itself states that It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability. and that players like Khoza can only be notable if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is: (1) independent of the subject; and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. COSAFA is the only source that is close to decent but even that doesn't seem to address Khoza in significant detail. CAF Online doesn't seem to mention Khoza at all. I found SS Schools and Windhoek Observer but even these are just mentions in a school tournament recap, so not enough to count as WP:SIGCOV. This was moved to mainspace from Draft:Khwezi Khoza prematurely.
- Fitim Reçi: nominated at AfD; notified Davidlofgren1996 (talk · contribs) 15:50, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Reçi debuted at a very young age but has now been inactive for over six years and I'm struggling to find any non-database sources on him. Does not seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC based on my Albanian source searches.
- Yordan Penev: nominated at AfD; notified Jordanson (talk · contribs) 16:07, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Penev had a very brief professional career, playing only one top level match, and I am unable to find sources that comply with WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found Varnautre and Varna 24 but these are only simple match report mentions.
- Mustafa Kardeen: nominated at AfD; notified Motuca (talk · contribs) 20:20, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Had a brief career and seems to lack WP:SIGCOV. I found Al-Sharq, but it's just a brief transfer announcement with a quote from the player. Other than that, I could only find Lusail News, Raya and Al-Kass, all of which were just passing mentions.
- Pedrinho Rodrigues: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 12:09, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Pedrinho Rodrigues never participated in a professional league match and seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC as far as I can tell. I've searched his common name and full name, including in conjunction with clubs that he played for, and can find nothing other than database sources.
- João Van Zeller: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 12:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Van Zeller played 84 mins of professional football before a brief career at the semi-pro level. I can't find any WP:SIGCOV. The closest that I could find was a squad list mention at Espinho TV.
- Tiago Leão: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 12:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This had been tagged for notability since 2014 but I removed it based on the fact that he meets the now-defunct WP:FOOTYN. I was not able to find any evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC, though. Diário de Santo Tirso was the best source but it's a basic transfer announcement other than for the very brief quote, Record is another source but is way too brief and Gazeta Paços de Ferreira is only a squad list mention.
- Dinis Lopes: nominated at AfD; notified Alexanderalgrim (talk · contribs) 12:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Dinis Lopes never played in a professional league match and doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. After many searches, I was able to find some routine coverage but no WP:SIGCOV. Sapo was probably the best source but it only really confirms that he signed a two-year contract and that he used to play for Pedras Rubras. Record is basically the same as Sapo above. Mais Futebol has a transfer announcement, this time about him signing for Salgueiros, but it contains no significant coverage. Lastly, Labor is another transfer announcement with only minimal coverage of Lopes.
- Egli Trimi: nominated at AfD; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 10:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: His professional career was extremely brief by the looks of it. My own searches didn't yield any non-database coverage, therefore WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC don't seem to be met.
- Granuel Lika: nominated at AfD; notified Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk · contribs) 10:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Lika played only 97 mins in the Superliga and there is no evidence of WP:SIGCOV. My own searches yielded only Panorama, a passing mention, and Durrës Lajm, a squad listing.
- Ervis Koçi (footballer, born 1998): nominated at AfD; notified Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk · contribs) 11:01, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Rudi Mahmutaj: nominated at AfD; notified Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk · contribs) 11:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Mahmutaj never played in a professional league and the coverage to date isn't enough for WP:SIGCOV, in my view. Panorama 1 is just an announcement of being released, Panorama 2 is just a direct quote from Mahmutaj with no third party analysis and Sport Ekspres represents the best source on him but it still only confirms that he scored 19 goals for Luftëtari and played at under-17 level for Albania.
- Julian Gjinaj: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 16:33, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Gerald D'Mello: nominated at AfD; notified ArsenalFan700 (talk · contribs) 16:45, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not seeing enough WP:SIGCOV for this goalkeeper that only played in 3 professional games. While searching for Gerald/Gerard D'Mello, I found Deccan Herald, Herald Goa, Navhind Times and Telegraph India, all of which are passing mentions. If this article is kept, we should consider moving it to 'Gerard D'Mello' as this seems to be a more popular spelling.

[edit]- Vitali Yatsko: nominated at AfD; notified Mish-FCTM (talk · contribs) 20:41, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: A 'senior coach' is not the manager and is not an inherently notable position, especially since WP:FOOTYN is no longer valid. I can't find anything more than passing mentions of Yatsko, including the 4 references already used. My own searches yielded nothing better than Sports.kz and Sports Daily, both passing mentions again. Does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.
- Amir Tafa: nominated at AfD; notified Oltianruci (talk · contribs) 08:01, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously PROD deleted so no longer eligible this time but notability is still a massive concern. I can find nothing to support a passing of WP:GNG nor WP:SPORTBASIC. The best that I can find is a mention of an injury in a Panorama report and a brief mention of a transfer. This is trivial coverage and not significant.
- Oleksandr Pshenychnyuk: nominated at AfD; notified Web-wiki-warrior (talk · contribs) 09:10, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This is the same sort of case as Vladyslav Kalyn, Yaroslav Kysil and Roman Savchenko (footballer), all recently deleted young Ukrainian footballers with no significant coverage from independent sources. To qualify for an article, there must be multiple instances of significant coverage to pass WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Please note that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from playing for a notable club or notable league and that pointing out that other non-notable players also have articles is not a relevant reason to keep. WP:NSPORTS2022 confirms that the cameo appearances for Chornomorets are not sufficient for notability under current consensus. The references included are trivial; UA Football is a mere squad list mention and Sport.ua is likewise just as bad. Likewise, I found Sport Arena, a trivial mention in the match report and goal listing at the bottom, and Rivne, which lists him in the U19 squad list and mentions him once further in the prose.
