I could find little information about this person on the internet except for birth date, gender, and other listing of statistics. Wikipedia should not reflect such a list of stats about a single person. The article also claims that he played in a notable team, but just because the team might be notable (and warrant an article about it) does not make this person notable. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 22:01, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Why does this make him notable? Have you read WP:CRYSTAL Spiderone 11:10, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The discussions are not speculation. There are numerous articles about this defender, who is already notable in my opinion, in the Greek newspapers. Nipsonanomhmata (talk) 13:24, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As it stands, you've not demonstrated any SUBSTANTIAL coverage of the player. Nothing more than passing mentions Spiderone 13:43, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Spiderone, I have to disagree. Moniakis has received plenty of detailed coverage (particularly his doping incident). There is plenty available to flesh this article out when time permits. Deletion would be unnecessary and unhelpful. Jogurney (talk) 13:49, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A 4-year contract with Olimpiakos, signed this week, for a footballer who played internationally with the national under-21 side is notable enough. Nipsonanomhmata (talk) 14:42, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: My keep counts for both players since Kritikos is currently playing for a Gamma Ethniki team at Zakynthos which meets WP:FOOTBALL and is on loan from Olympiacos which is the most successful team in Greece (according to Wikipedia). Nipsonanomhmata (talk) 00:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
