Article that was recreated after having been deleted by PROD. Concern was Fails WP:NFOOTBALL. This remains valid. Mr Cretaro has neither received significant coverage nor played in a fully pro league. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:48, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cretaro has plyed in Europa league [1]. Does this fulfill WP:NFOOTY? Murry1975 (talk) 03:23, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, Europa League qualifying matches do not confer notability; only matches in the competition proper (i.e. play-off round or later) do. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:32, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I found this. Murry1975 (talk) 10:57, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 08:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as per above. And any chance of maybe a way of the page not getting recreated until/if he gains notability? Murry1975 (talk) 10:57, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Reply to Murry - it could be SALTED buts that's unlikely to happen as this is the first AfD for Raffaele Cretaro, although it has been deleted via PROD before. If this AfD is closed as delete then it can be speedy deleted via G4 in the future once he hasn't gained notability. I know why you asked though it's almost a certainty to be recreated. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 11:31, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment And what about the other Sligo Rovers players? What about the other League of Ireland clubs? What about us journalists who don't dismiss Wikipedia as an unreliable source of information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Protector of Henman Hill (talk • contribs) 17:15, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure to what you're referring with your comment on journalists, but with regard to other players, I refer you to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:19, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
