Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a football manager who fails WP:GNG and who has not managed a club in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the article's creator without meaningfully addressing the concern. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:56, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep A search on portuguese football newspapers (A Bola, Record, O Jogo) yields several results (like [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) which make him easily pass our notability guidelines. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 10:25, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment many of those articles may only be routine coverage of him (like the articles announcing him as a new manager). SportingFlyer talk 10:50, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 08:28, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - now passes GNG. Giant Snowman 19:38, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I am going out on a limb here, but I think he can easily pass WP:GNG if the article was cleaned up. I've just read through 10 different articles on him regarding his management career, but what is confusing is some of them say he a former professional footballer who played in Portugal, I can't find any evidence online but is it possible he could also pass WP:NFOOTBALL?

It's here. I believe being a former Cardiff City manager makes him pass WP:NFOOTBALL. ( See also [9] in the South Wales Echo) Regards, Comte0 (talk) 17:01, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Being manager at Cardiff City would be sufficient for WP:NFOOTBALL, but he wasn't manager there. He was manager of Cardiff's under-21 team. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also he may have been professional, but it doesn't appear he played in any fully pro leagues. SportingFlyer talk 04:03, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I am more than happy with the article now that Quite A Character has helped clean it up, I will easily say the article now passes WP:GNG. Govvy (talk) 22:26, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Extensive media coverage on his Cardiff City spell (in both Portuguese and English language), but don't know if that's enough to grant article. However, surely his work in the LigaPro (Portuguese second division, professional level) does? --Quite A Character (talk) 19:07, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
