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 without a reason being provided. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:42, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep: WP:NFOOTY demands that he have played in a match in a fully professional league. Although he has not yet done so, having recently signed to a top flight Iranian professional league suggests he will do so in the near future. There is no point deleting this article as it will be eligible for recreation in the near future. BethNaught (talk) 07:16, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. BethNaught's rationale is not acceptable. It is pure WP:CRYSTAL, there is no evidence that this player will play any time soon from any reliable source, plenty of prospects are signed by top clubs only to never play. It is a fundamental tenet of WP that we only create articles when players are notable, not in anticipation of notability. So far this individual has not played a single second of first-team football at any level, let alone fully professional. Fenix down (talk) 07:43, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I said weak keep. If it were me I would decline to press the delete button, but leave it to someone else. Also, forgive me for not knowing the ins and outs of a sport in which I have only superficial interest. BethNaught (talk) 08:26, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perspolis026 has for the third time now removed the {{afd}} template from the article. I have given an appropriate level 3 warning. BethNaught (talk) 10:18, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
