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 on the grounds that he has been called up the Panama national football team and played in the CONCACAF Champions League. Neither of these satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL, since hasn't actually played for Panama and his Champions League appearance was for a non-FPL club. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:20, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There has been coverage worldwide about the subject after he was named in the Provisional World cup squad for the 2018 World cup.Hence felt it would better if brought to AFD rather than be proded .Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 08:51, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 15:15, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Deletion - Even if Adalberto Carrasquilla didn't play yet, whether if it's a Panamanian local team, or a national team, there are is a Spanish source of FIFA that has a list about the Panama squad that is preparing for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. If that's the case, why would a non famous player be called up by a notable coach? Plus, I understand that it the Panamanian Leagues are not fully "professional" yet, but mark my words. He could not be part of the nobility guidelines, but a reliable source such as FIFA and other sports news is more than enough to encourage him, to be part of Wikipedia.

Draftify or delete This is one of those articles that may be just a bit WP:TOOSOON. He was on the subs bench for Panama in their recent game against Trinidad and Tobago. I fully expect him to get an article soon, but not yet. SportingFlyer talk 20:37, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Draft - I choose to draft the article, because he might appear in the World Cup squads for Panama, even if not well known. Ivan Milenin (talk) 01:13, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draft He fails WP:NFOOTBALL, I am not sure about GNG at this time I am happy with the article being returned to draft. Govvy (talk) 12:43, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Statement For one thing, he might not be notable in football, but I am so aware that he plays from a non-Pro club. Nevertheless, he is in coverage of the media, but what I'm trying to say is, I have checked the sources of him, and some, such as The Washington Post, now stated on the paper. Of course, he is just a minor, and somehow was uncapped in a national team, or the club team, but with a reliable source, that statement should be hopefully made clear. You are welcome draft, or to oppose this statement with a relative statement why it should be deleted. Thank you.Ivan Milenin (talk) 22:58, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Userspace - For once, my opponent is correct. Adalberto Carrasquilla will get deleted because he didn't appear in a FIFA international recognized match, such as the World Cup, or a fully professional league that it recognize the nobility about apart from Panama. But since the Panamanian league is about to be professional, I don't know what say. What I'm trying to say is, I would highly suggest to move this article to my userspace, rather than the mainspace. If Adalberto is playing in the World Cup, and on the bench the national team in a World Cup match, hopefully he can get back on Wikipedia. If not, I am aware about the notice, and just accept it as it is. I'd be a lot happier to let it stay, but if you have to delete it, just delete, and move to my user space for my reference of that notice. Thank you.

Draft - on the verge of being notable with a WC nomination but no appearances yet.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:43, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
