Various Japanese football player which (have) only play(ed) in a non-fully professional league. Therefore not sufficiently notable. Travelbird (talk) 08:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This article meets Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Association football - 2. --Japan Football (talk) 08:20, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. --Japan Football (talk) 08:27, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You do realize he has never appeared in a fully-professional league, but only a cup, based on the article? Lukeno94 (talk) 09:03, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - playing cup match between to clubs from fully pro leagues is generally regarded as being sufficient for WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - subject played for Mito HollyHock against Oita Trinita in a cup-match, and since both teams are playing in J. League Division 2 which is listed as a fully pro league, there is a long-standing consensus that this player is notable. The article however made no claim for notability, and I've added my research to the article, but it still needs improvement to pass WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 16:21, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
