Contested PROD. Ivanovic has never appeared in a league which passes WP:NFOOTY - indoor soccer does not count - and does not pass WP:GNG. A before search brought up only a smattering of coverage from the blogs which cover indoor soccer and two-three announcements of his hiring as an assistant coach. Do not confuse with famous Socceroo Milan Ivanović. SportingFlyer T·C 12:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC) SportingFlyer T·C 12:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 14:11, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Q: Why doesn't indoor soccer count? Major Arena Soccer League is a fully professional league. Mightytotems (talk) 14:18, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's more a question for WT:Notability (sports) than here. NFOOTBALL covers association football, not indoor soccer. Still, if GNG be met, it doesn't matter - so that's the avenue one should pursue. See also WT:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues/Archive 24#American Indoor Soccer.

We define "fully professional" as every player on the team has only one job, that of being a footballer. Internet guides are sketchy but salaries seem pretty low for the indoor league. [1] [2] It's also not in our vetted leagues list, so I nominated based on WP:GNG grounds. SportingFlyer T·C 01:00, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All true, but irrelevant, as NFOOTBALL is explicitly about association football, which explicitly does not include indoor (unless indoor is some massive 11-a-side dome game!). He doesn't meet NFOOTBALL because Locotomotiva Belgrade isn't professional (or even notable, given the redlink!) Nfitz (talk) 01:06, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:LOCALCONSENSUS has been A handful of editors. So I was circle back after I do more research on Indoor soccer notability. Lightburst (talk) 21:36, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
