Raphael Martinho not yet made his debut on national league, as the state league "professional" level is uncertain (fully or just semi?), AND the deal with Catania seems failed (it solely announced by Paulista and the news later deleted from the web), He currently a non-notable player.

• Keep - He's definitely played in the Campeonato Paulista, which is fully-pro and is well covered and televised. This article needs work, not deletion. Jogurney (talk) 20:36, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Agree with Jogurney. Argyle 4 Life^talk 14:47, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• If Campeonato Paulista is fully professional, perhaps someone would like to add a referenced entry to Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues, because claiming here it is fully-pro and is well covered and televised doesn't quite contest the nominators argument.

• GolTV carries Paulista matches in North America and while I'm not proficient in reading Portuguese, the FPF rules certainly appear to indicate the Serie A1 is fully-pro. Jogurney (talk) 14:15, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Good enough.--ClubOranje^T 19:32, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
