Article fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. The I-League 2nd Division is not notable and Rangdajied (his current club) have not even played a game yet in the I-League. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 10:09, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If I-League 2nd Division were not notable, what is an article about it doing in the Wiki? The player has competed as a professional in the 2nd tier of Indian football pyramid and will be turning up in the tier-1 this season. Plus, he has been covered by different news sources since at least 2011. Shovon (talk) 11:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Conference National in England has a page yet the players are not notable. As does the USL PDL in America. Same here. The league is notable as it is a national league in India. However, player notability counts on whether the league is fully-professional or not. As of this moment the league is far from fully-professional and it lacks more coverage.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 15:43, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage in reliable sources, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:38, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would request to check Ghits too. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 16:58, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Those don't help. The reports about his signing is just basic reporting that almost every player gets and in terms of the I-League 2nd Division coverage, the only actual coverage of the league came from two to three different papers. Not enough to prove that there is enough coverage of the league for the players to be notable. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 17:26, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
