Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the article's creator without providing a reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:52, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Delete - Portuguese association football classifications can be difficult to understand but in summary, Portugal has a Segunda Liga ("Second League") which is their second tier competition (and is on the list of fully professional leagues) and a Segunda Divisão ("Second Division") which is (confusingly) their third tier competition (and is not on the list of fully professional leagues). See this table. Varnier plays for Boavista F.C. which is in the third-tier league and so not a fully-professional league (even though, from what I understand, that particular team is). That said, the article suggests he played for FC Koper for two seasons; a club which is part of the Slovenian PrvaLiga (which is on the list of fully professional leagues). That would suggest to me that he meets WP:NFOOTY, but I'm happy to listen to contrary conjecture. Cheers, Stalwart 111  (talk) 05:17, 24 September 2012 (UTC).
 * Having looked some more, I can't actually see any evidence he played for FC Koper - he might have been in the squad, sure, but that's not the same as having taken the field. Have changed my opinion to Weak keep but if there is no evidence he actually took the field for FC Koper during either season then I would suggest he doesn't pass WP:NFOOTY after all.

 * Delete – doesn't appear to have played for Koper (the only team in a fully pro league that he was signed for). No other indication of notability, fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. – Kosm  1  fent  06:41, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if that is the case then I don't think he passes WP:NFOOTY. Have changed my note above on that basis. Cheers, Stalwart 111  (talk) 04:41, 25 September 2012 (UTC).


 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 07:55, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - article is about a footballer who has not played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that the article fails WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 08:53, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
