Recreation of an article deleted via PROD. The subject does not currently meet notability criteria in that he has not appeared in a top-tier league. Although he was signed by Levski Sofia, he has never played for them and is on loan to a B-Series team. From WP:NFOOTY "A player who signs for a domestic team but has not played in any games is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable" Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 15:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is just a matter of a month before the season starts and he plays in A group.He is a talented goalkeeper owned by Levski sofia.n Vidima Rakovski he will play regularly, so this page should stay! --added by Gandev88 (talk) 15:27, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment "He will play someday" is certainly not a valid argument for inclusion, and falls into WP:CRYSTAL. An article can be created after he meets the notability criteria, not in anticipation of him one day meeting the requirements outlined at WP:NFOOTY. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 17:10, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Given the proliferation of stubs about football players with single references to a sport's database, the guideline should be strictly interpreted. Ponyo accurately stated the proviso about non-playing players, and we should follow it. --Bejnar (talk) 16:49, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league, and he fails WP:GNG, and is therefore not notable enough to merit an article. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:40, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

Hi,

He's played at two top clubs in Bulgaria. Youth when he did or not. This player is notable. He seems to be quite good at playing football. I beleive they are loaning him out like any other team would do to a young 20 year old that's not broken into the team yet-To get experience! In England Premier League clubs loan players out that haven't played a game for them yet. T o the Championship for example. Yes, I know thyat's a professional league but his parent club plays in a professional league. He still young-He will play for them soon. He's been on the subs bench a few times awell for them.

Thanks, pbl1998--Pbl1998 (talk) 17:39, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:CRYSTAL. If he becomes notable in future, then it can be restored Spiderone 11:35, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
