Contested PROD. The tag was removed with the claim that the player played in the Romanian top-flight, which doesn't appear to be borne out by the sources. His stint for the Romanian club was when it was playing at the level below that required by WP:NFOOTY. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per Soccerway, he made 3 appearances in the Campeonato Paulista in 2013 - that is a fully-professional league and he therefore meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 09:50, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Also according to Soccerway, he made 13 appearances in Liga I in 2014/15. Since this is a fully pro league, he meets WP:NFOOTY. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:05, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete if apparences are being sourced to a soccer specific site but not to reliable indepdent sources, the football notability guidelines are clearly wrong, and we should stop keeping articles that clearly fail GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:04, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes NFOOTY, has played senior international football, in a fully professional league or in a match in the competition proper (i.e. not qualifying rounds) of a cup competition which involved two teams both from FPLs. Fenix down (talk) 09:01, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:NFOOTY per the excellent research above. This is not the appropriate place to discuss the merits of the standards. Smartyllama (talk) 12:58, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Played over a third of the games in a season in the Romanian top flight. Not like we are talking about a one game wonder. The sources out there would probably be in Romanian. Not easy to find or evaluate from volunteer English-speaking editors. In view of WP:BIAS, keep. RonSigPi (talk) 22:57, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
