Aleksandar Kovačević (tennis)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable tennis player who fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:NTENNIS. Has had no major success at the professional or collegiate level in tennis. Sources don't seem to indicate any notability, and he hasn't appeared in any major ATP level tournaments. Adamtt9 (talk) 17:15, 29 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment - Was ranked as high as No. 6 in college (according to 2020-2021 Illinois men's tennis roster). Is mentioned in two credible ATP articles relating to 2021 US Open men's singles qualifying in which Holger Rune and Marco Trungelliti are the main subjects (articles cited on proposed page for deletion). Has been runner-up in one ITF event each in singles and doubles against/with players who have their own wikipedia page. Do not recommend for deletion. Nagorblliw (talk) 10:13, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The articles you mention only mention Kovacevic passively as the main subjects of the article, as you noted, are other players. I don't think these sources help to assert notability to Kovacevic himself. Adamtt9 (talk) 23:19, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Would the second article involving Trungelliti not establish some form of notability for Kovačević at all? Albeit it's in Spanish, for approximately half of the article it goes into detail about the match between Trungelliti and Kovačević and key/emotional moments during said match. I'd say that establishes a good amount of notability in terms of being referenced in half of the article. Kovačević is also referenced (with article citations) on the wikipedia pages of Benjamin Bonzi and Marco Trungelliti, which establishes some notability. Do not recommend for deletion.

 * Even if it gave more than a brief mention of Kovacevic and described his game play in more detail, that article would be considered routine match coverage not eligible for notability considerations; it does not go into any depth on the subject, which is what is required by NSPORT.
