The result was delete. WP:NFOOTY has been deprecated so arguments based on having played internationally are no longer valid. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:34, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep User has nominated ~25 articles for deletion in ~20 minutes. Imposisble that a WP:BEFORE was done for each, and the nominations appear to be in bad faith. NemesisAT (talk) 22:40, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:10, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - has clearly decided all players that play for national teams he does not feel confer notability are those which should be deleted. The usual revisionism and elitism around notability in sports Zanoni (talk) 08:19, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 15:14, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per NemesisAT and Zanoni. In addition, he is a young international capped player with an ongoing career. I look at the other sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 30. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion.

Delete - Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. No such coverage is in the article and none has been presented here. Alvaldi (talk) 13:03, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. At this time, there is no significant coverage on this player available. We have no adequate sources to indicate notability. None of the keep votes above are not policy based. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 17:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article fails WP:GNG. I strongly disagree with the logic that the article should be kept because WP:BEFORE wasn't done as even if that were true, it is not a requirement for deletion. It's strongly encouraged, mostly to prevent wasting time at AfD with situations where sources are readily available if one would only look, but this is not that situation, and sources have not been provided that show that WP:BEFORE was not done. I have looked for sources, as I assume everyone here has. That none have been presented is only evidence of the lack of notability of the subject. Regardless of why the article arrived here, it's here at AfD now and we must examine the article on its own merits rather than on our perceptions of the nominator (two of the three keep arguments are based solely on the merits on the nominator, rather than any guideline or policy-based argument on the article itself). As for the third keep argument, that the article's subject has an ongoing career is not an argument for notability, if anything that just indicates a possible WP:TOOSOON issue. What happens at other WikiProjects has zero bearing on this article's lack of notability. Notability's just not there. - Aoidh (talk) 13:50, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
