Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by an IP on the grounds that he has played in the UEFA Europa League. A claim not supported by reliable sources. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:05, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seems pretty reliable to me http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2012/clubs/player=98454/index.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.212.191.147 (talk) 15:38, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It also very clearly says 0 appearances. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:44, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Is not Moldovan National Division fully professional? Here it is listed as such. If this is the case, he passes WP:NFOOTY. If not, the article should be deleted.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:49, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That list is unsourced making it an unreliable source of information. The list used for notability purposes is WP:FPL on which the Moldovan top flight does not appear. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:22, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May be we should add it there, since the Moldovan federation states (see page 2, I also checked the Russian version) that the National Division is fully professional.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:42, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The source certainly raises some interesting questions, but without a clearer explanation of what is meant by "non-amateur", I don't think it's sufficient to include the league at WP:FPL. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:38, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is probably best to keep the two discussions separately; let us delete this article and discuss on the WP:FPL talk page. If the Moldovan league makes it to the list, one can always restore the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete - the article is about a footballer that hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that it fails WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG, due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. As Ymblanter states, let's delete this article and restore it if we find out that the Moldovan league is fully pro.
