Contested PROD. Concer was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that Bosnian league is definitely a fully pro league, an assertion contradictied by WP:FPL, which lists the Bosnian league as not fully pro.

Delete – he has never played in a fully professional league, so he fails WP:NFOOTY. Recreate when he appears at the Iran Pro League. – Kosm1 fent 06:24, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. –BuickCentury Driver 09:52, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Tempo21 (talk) 10:18, 20 April 2012 (UTC) He now plays in the Iran Pro League which is Iran's top division. Also, if Bosnia's league isn't fully pro then there are hundreds of other articles that need to be deleted.[reply]

There is no indication that he actually played in a league game for the Iranian league. – Kosm1 fent 11:10, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 17:51, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: Here is a link with a video of his goal in an Iranian Pro League game. I could probably find more info but I don't read Persian. He has definitely made first-division appearances though: see here.

Comment - Based on the links above it is clear that the article passes WP:NSPORT and I'm prepared to withdraw the nomination. I should point out though that the second link only shows his appearances in the second division. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:29, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I was a bit hasy on this. As Struway's comments bellow indicate, the sources don't confirm that Mr. Zokot has played in the Iranian Pro league. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:41, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looks to me as if whoever uploaded the irangoals video put the wrong name: if you actually watch the video, about 38 seconds in, the goalscorer definitely has Brkovic written on his back. And Brkovic is confirmed by reliable sources: Persianleague.com and Soccerway both give him the first goal. Soccerway's summary page for Mes Sarcheshme lists Kokot with zero apps/goals, and his page at persianleague.com for this season lists him as playing for Gol Gohar Sirjan in the second division. Tempo21's second link shows his appearances for Mes Sarcheshme last season in the second division: see the History of team dropdown menu. There's no evidence that I can find of his actually playing in the Iran Pro League. Struway2 (talk) 17:05, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
