Fails WP:FOOTYN. Has not played a match in a fully professional league yet. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 02:11, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Segunda División is listed as fully professional at WP:FPL, therefore all 5 of these AfD appear to meet the notability critera MadCow257 (talk) 03:28, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- cmt Subject specific notability criteria (WP:NFOOTBALL in this case) requires the player has played in a FPL in a competitive match. As the league does not begin for a few days yet, Lobato does not appear to meet that criteria. --ClubOranje^T 10:13, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - oops, he has played in Segunda División B, but I didn't notice that that is actually the third tier MadCow257 (talk) 03:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - hasn't actually played in a fully-professional league yet, so fails WP:NFOOTBALL; also fails WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 00:29, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Argyle 4 Life^talk 21:34, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (buf if it's deleted it will be perfectly "legal"). At age 23, he has already played with FC Barcelona's first team in friendlies, and will in all certainty play many Segunda División games this season, bar injury (competition starts this weekend), it would save us a lot of trouble of creating piece again.

Is there a way to keep storyline and, after the article is reinstated, reinstate also the "wording"? --Vasco Amaral (talk) 01:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Friendlies don't count, you do know that don't you. If they did then Josh Clapham would be notable because he played for us against Real Madrid in 2006. If Lobato plays in the Segunda División this season then the article can be brought back by an administrator immediately. Argyle 4 Life^talk 03:20, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course man, i was not playing the fool :) Friendlies don't count, i was just wondering "what if the article is deleted and he plays this weekend (a GREAT possibility, unless the strike also affects the second division)?" Just let's wait a couple of days more then, of course, delete. --Vasco Amaral (talk) 14:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As stated above, he has not played in a fully pro league or had significant coverage. Therefore, he fails both relevant notability guidelines. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:45, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
