Although this footballer was signed to 3 Cypriot First Division clubs over a span of 5+ years, I have not found a single evidence of him ever making a league appearance for them. He appeared once for AEL Limassol in the 2012 Cypriot Super Cup final [1], but that's it. I don't know if this enough for him to technically pass WP:NFOOTY, but most importantly he fails WP:GNG due to extreme lack of non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources. – Kosm1 fent 10:10, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I would rather suspect he did appear in more than that one cup match (as it's a final!), but I agree that there is no evidence anywhere that he did. As it was a cup final, I'm leaning towards a weak keep. The AEL Limassol website states that he's not played a league game for them. Lukeno94 (talk) 10:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - first & foremost, this player fails WP:GNG. One appearance is technically enough to meet WP:NFOOTBALL but that is subservient to GNG. Let's use some WP:COMMONSENSE here. Giant Snowman 10:23, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - in the clear absence of significant coverage, this article reasonably falls within the part of WP:NSPORT that says that not all articles that meet the criteria must be kept. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:02, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - while this technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL with his one appearance, the subject fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 15:52, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I relisted again only because there was an error in the previous relist; the AFD was not transcluded properly in the day's AFD log. postdlf (talk) 22:55, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails general notability guidlines. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 22:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see evidence of him being in football a long time, but hardly have play any real games! It's a strange career, two cup games in his whole career? [2] strange one this. Govvy (talk) 09:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This article says that Tsiakkas signed for AEL Limassol as a third-choice keeper. I don't see why that can't be true for his previous First Division clubs as well. Cheers. – Kosm1 fent 09:23, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
