Keep - already had this discussion in a PROD post. Has played in fully professional games between two fully professional teams; very likely he will also gain his first international caps in November so suggest leaving discussion until then Mrsmiis (talk) 08:22, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Players have to play in a competitive match between two teams from a fully professional league. Kalju aren't in a FPL. Claiming he is likely to play for in November violates WP:CRYSTAL.Dougal18 (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – can't find sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Closest I'm finding in English [1] [2] and Estonian [3] [4] [5] are routine game and transfer reports. – Levivich 17:28, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Can you explain why you think GNG is not met? As an Estonian I can say that Postimees and Soccernet.ee are both reliable and independent sources. Together with NZ sources there are much more than just regular match reports. one more. Example of footbller passing GNG: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben George.

- I don't think the "in-depth" part of GNG is met. Postimees is a game report with a brief mention that the player will be joining the team. Soccernet July is the same thing: a routine transfer report with a couple of quotes from the player about how excited he is to contribute to the new team, etc. Soccernet August is a game report that he made a hat trick in his debut, with a couple quotes from the player. The RNZ link you provided is the best one I've seen so far, but I still think its depth is marginal; if we count it for GNG purposes, that's still only one IMO, and we'd need multiple to meet GNG. – Levivich 02:26, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
