Adrian Main

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NFOOTY, as he has apparently never played in a top-tier league. No indications of notability; I'm barely able to verify he exists. Primefac (talk) 21:25, 22 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete I declined a speedy deletion request for this as I gave it the benefit of the doubt around "professional footballer". NFOOTY states that he has to have played for a professional side in a professional match, there is no evidence that is the case. I can only find evidence that he was once able to purchase champions league tickets for Steaua Bucharest.  His name would appear to be Adrian Main-Keesy as that is what the one ref on the page calls him.  He is not covered in third-party reliable sources and as such should be deleted.

 * Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 10:31, 24 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Not delete' - The football club exists, see the following link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SC_Bac%C4%83u_(2010)
 * Keesy Adrian Main is a football player in the current squad with number 17 name= Adrian Keesy.
 * In Dutch the first names are written first. But in Romanian language the surnames are written first, for that reason, Main is not mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talk • contribs) 11:22, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 07:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Not delete' - The wikipedia-article about the football club is a proof that the football club exists.
 * The football club exists, see also the following link:
 * http://liga2.prosport.ro/echipe/seria-1/sc-bacau-7043518/stiri
 * http://liga2.prosport.ro/


 * And the newspaper article? Why is this not a proof? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talk • contribs) 16:39, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
 * striking duplicate !vote. Primefac (talk) 17:48, 25 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Not delete' - Which duplicate? May I have an opinion?
 * Why did you change the article completely?
 * You have deleted a lot of data, including references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talk • contribs) 08:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 * , in a deletion discussion you only get one vote. You can't just keep voting "keep" in some sort of attempt to fool the closing admins that there are more parties interested. As for removing information - it was incredibly promotional. Phrases like He is also an excellent passer and he creates space with a solid first-touch and a general lack of sourcing leads me to conclude you were/are just trying to promote Main. Now, add some sourcing and it'll be a different story altogether. Primefac (talk) 16:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Primefac, Thanks for your advice. I have modified the text. I have also added references. What should I do to fix my article and not be deleted? May I change the title of Adrian Main in Adrian Keesy Main (footballer, born 1993). Then it becomes better recognized. Thanks in advance for your response! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talk • contribs) 17:32, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

He has a contract for professional footballer. Due to financial problems, they are now temporarily in league III. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Football Europe (talk • contribs) 17:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong delete The only fully professional league in Romania is Liga I. He plays on a Liga III team, which would be even lower ranked than Liga II, which is not even enough to be considered notable. So he does not qualify under normal football inclusion rules. The articles connected to are not about Main, but only mention him briesfly in passing in covering matches. This is far too little to establish notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sc Bacau is a football club with tradition for years in league I. When Adrian Keesy signed, the football club was still in league II.
 * In addition, there are many professional football players who play temporarily in lower leagues.
 * Delete per and ; does not seem to have actualy played in a professional leage, and as such fails the requirements of WP:NFOOTY.  &mdash;  O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  14:45, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
