Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. I found one source that could go towards GNG but otherwise just brief mentions in match reports. GNG requires multiple sources of significant coverage. Alvaldi (talk) 17:13, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - large number of professional appearances and related coverage. Giant Snowman 21:16, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Care to link any of this "related content"? At present, no one has shown sigcov. Ficaia (talk) 05:23, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BEFORE - you need to comply with it. Giant Snowman 06:13, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A google search turned up nothing but database entries. If you've found other sources, you should link them here. Ficaia (talk) 06:22, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per GS. Another bad nom as the subject is a top-class footballer and referee with long experience in both roles. Article is a valid stub to be expanded in due course. As in several other cases, the nominator has failed to perform an adequate WP:BEFORE which is mandatory ahead of raising an AfD. NGS ^{Shakin' All Over} 09:34, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No Great Shaker, what makes you say they haven't performed and adequate BEFORE search? –dlthewave ☎ 12:10, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No WP:SIGCOV has been provided, and per the nominating statement no evidence of notability from a google search a WP:BEFORE search was attempted. BilledMammal (talk) 10:05, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Notability is based on SIGCOV, not number of appearances, and I'm not seeing any. –dlthewave ☎ 12:09, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I can only find trivial coverage of this former footballer/referee online (mostly match reports and database entries, plus the occasional whine about him missing a penalty or such). I don't see how WP:GNG can be met based on online search results, and this footballer played in the internet-area. Jogurney (talk) 14:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete: The only potentially WP:SIGCOV I could find is here. That said, I was unable to find much else outside of passing mentions which gives me cause for concern for subject's notability. However, I'm also cognizant that additional sourcing may exist in other languages (such as Slovak like the one I found) that may not be as easily discovered for me.
