Article is about a reserve goalkeeper who has made a total of 9 appearances in the Russian Second League (third-tier) during his career. I searched for sources (English- and Russian-language) and found nothing except a few statistics databases (sportbox.ru and sport-express.ru). There doesn't appear to be even one secondary reliable source that covers his career in any detail. I realize that there is a view that the Russian Second is fully-pro and therefore this article meets NFOOTBALL, but let's apply some common sense here to an article that cannot possibly say more than what is in those statistics databases.

Delete - fails WP:GNG, which supercedes WP:NFOOTBALL - and even if it didn't, a handful of appearances in a league of questionable notability is not enough. Giant Snowman 18:25, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Actually, I tend to disagree as the one source can be considered reliable, so it can pass WP: GNG, and he also passes WP: ATHLETE and is notable even for his 9 games played, as they were played in a fully-professional league. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 23:26, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I don't know if sportbox.ru or sport-express.ru are reliable sources, but they only provide an entry for Dubovsky in their statistics database (rather than detailed coverage of his exploits). It is only routine, trivial coverage. Jogurney (talk) 23:35, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He still meets WP: ATHLETE, as he played in a pro league. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 23:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Nine appearances at the third level of Russian football are simply not enough – the article fails WP:GNG as it is and should be deleted. – Kosm1 fent 10:30, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not played in a full pro league and not enough done at 3rd level game. Fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. →TSU ^tp* 11:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
