Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 16:22, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - far more than enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG, (see here: 1, 2, 3, 4) and that's not including most of the citations in the article. The coverage of Maleck spans many of Mexico's major newspapers and for several years, the fact that the subject fails WP:NFOOTY is trivial since he passes the fare more important guideline anyway.

Delete - Fails WP:GNG.Simione001 (talk) 02:27, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:ANYBIO and subject specific guideline WP:NFOOTBALL which specifically says youth footballers do not have inherent notability. Appreciate he is with a club in a professional league, but he hasn't played yet WP:TOSOON and may never WP:CRYSTAL. Coverage is WP:ROUTINE for footballers with potential and does not indicate this person is any different from the many thousands of youth players which the above guidelines tell us shouldn't have stand alone articles.

Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:48, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
