Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he had played in B PFG. As this league is not fully pro, playing in it does not grant notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:42, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. His Bulgarian name gets 37 hits on gnews, so I think there's a chance he might meet the GNG. Jenks24 (talk) 08:10, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. If sources can be found to show he meets GNG, please let me know so I can reconsider. Giant Snowman 09:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I believe there has been an error here. According to Google's translation of the sources provided by Jenks, this player has been signed by and has played for PFC Cherno More Varna. This meets the guidelines of WP:NFOOTBALL because this team competes in the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group, which is found on the list of fully professional leagues.

Apparently he has not played in a game yet. -- Sailing to Byzantium _(msg), 20:21, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is no error. I'm not disputing that the he is signed to Cherno More. However, he has not played in any actual games for them, and WP:NSPORT explicitly states that it does not apply to players who have signed but not played. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:28, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would have been a useful piece of information to include in the nomination. -- Sailing to Byzantium _(msg), 20:33, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
