Twice contested PROD. Concerns were Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. and Fails WP:GNG as having not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and WP:NFOOTBALL as having not appeared in a fully professional league. PROD's were contested on the grounds that he has played in a fully pro league. However this is not confirmed by reliable sources. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:02, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 10:29, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the source (in Russian) - he played 13 games in the Russian Second Division for FC Dmitrov. --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 12:36, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This article has existed for three years and the only sources about his time at FC Dimitrov appear to be statistics databases like Sportbox.ru. It's questionable whether the Russian third-tier is fully pro, and the article simply doesn't pass the GNG. It's not enough for an article right now. Jogurney (talk) 14:36, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, 13 games at third level league (though it's a fully-pro league, yes) is not enough to player to be notable (and not enough to pass Ru-Wiki footballers notability rule), but formally he passes WP:NFOOTBALL, though is likely to fail GNG. --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 03:49, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, he was a second goalscorer at 2010 Latvian First League. In Virsliga according to Transfermarkt has only 6 games (though in Ru-Wiki top league players, even in not fully-pro leagues, are regarded to be notable). --Postoronniy-13 (talk) 03:59, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - formally passes WP:NFOOTBALL, with 13 matches at the Russian third tier. However, previous deletion discussion have concluded that playing at the third tier in Russia is not enough for notabilty, unless the subject passes WP:GNG - which is not the case here.

Delete – 13 caps in Russia's third level, while they satisfy WP:NFOOTY, are not enough. Fails WP:GNG, which is the prevailing guideline. – Kosm1 fent 03:34, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
