PROD contested for no reason although I guess it is because he played in the 3rd division in Brazil, which is not fully-pro as per WP:FPL. So the player fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:41, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Subject has indeed appeared for FC Goa ina league listed at FPL. Please revise your vote, according to your statement. Kraxler (talk) 01:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep - Jonatan has appeared in a Copa Paranaense match between two fully-pro clubs (e.g., Atlético and Parana) which meets the spirit of NFOOTY (and Atlético had not yet avoided relegation so this was an important match). I've added a few references to the article, but they are fairly routine. It's a close call, but I think this one can satisfy the GNG and NFOOTY can be invoked because of the importance of the cup match between two fully-pro sides.

- I prefer to prove Brazilian Serie C is professional, rather than Copa Paranaense, which usually played by B team. I haven't start researching Serie C yet, but definitively more professional than Serie D which local team qualifying as regional cup winner. Matthew_hk tc 08:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Brazilian football considers the state-level competitions, including Copa Paranaense, to be separate from the national Series. Thus, even though a Copa Paranaense match could be contested between a club from Serie A and a club from Serie B (both fully professional leagues), the match itself is not considered part of a WP:FPL. As the Copa Paranaense has a league table completely separate from Serie A and Serie B tables, I have to conclude that these matches do not meet the requirements of WP:NFOOTY. — Jkudlick tcs 14:50, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- While I agree that it is unclear whether the Copa Paranaense is a FPL (there are fully-pro clubs participating, but I don't think all clubs must be), we have established consensus that a competitive match between two fully-pro clubs (e.g., in a confederation-wide or national cup) satisfies the spirit of NFOOTY. I realize the Paraná-state competition is not a national cup like England's FA Cup, but it is a means of entry into the national competitions and I see no reason to believe Atlético-PR or Paraná Clube were treating the state competition lightly or using reserves (at least until they had mathematically avoided relegation).

*Delete - Even if this player has indeed played in one match that qualifies him for WP:NFOOTY I'm tempted to still vote delete on the basis that it clearly fails WP:GNG. I know that this is still a controversial issue but I know that we have deleted some articles recently where a player has played one cup game between two fully pro clubs. In cases such as this we should look at GNG instead of seeing NFOOTY as a rigid boundary. Spiderone 07:51, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep plays currently in a fully professional league, passes WP:NFOOTY, season just started last week-end Kraxler (talk) 01:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep has now played in a fully professional league. Also seems to have been the subject of some coverage in reliable sources. Hack (talk) 08:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
