I PRODded the article only for it to be removed with the rationale "deprod, looks like there's already significant coverage". Being mentioned in a paragraph and in a video that is a copyvio is not "significant coverage". I can't find sigcov of Oprey so he fails GNG. Dougal18 (talk) 15:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. I have concerns about a possible hoax - an English player making multiple appearances in Brazilian football with no coverage??? If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 16:35, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - I am not seeing any evidence of significant coverage or sources that support the claims he played at Santos etc. I share the concerns that this could, at least in part, be a hoax. Dunarc (talk) 23:44, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, no coverage in Norway either where he supposedly played. To the deprodder @Ortizesp: You are allowed to use your senses, not just blindly deprod any and all footballer articles. Geschichte (talk) 12:14, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment Not much to help, and signing to Salernitana would have garnered much more than what's on offer, also is the surname possibly spelt O'Prey? Govvy (talk) 14:40, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment – There is absolutely nothing to prove the player's time at Athletico Paranaense and Santos FC (an English player playing in Brazil, even in youth categories, would attract the attention of the media). Does this player really exist? Svartner (talk) 20:28, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So, DELETE per all presented in this discussion. Svartner (talk) 20:32, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - can't find anything decent for him or the apparent alternative spelling of "Alexandre O'Prey" from the one Tutto Mercato source used in the article. Can't see this meeting GNG. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:56, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete – no evidence this player even exists. Idiosincrático (talk) 17:37, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete The first problem, someone created one account to add this entry only. did three edits that generated this article back in 2010. It's managed to survive that long. And I've seen it before where a guy managed to generate fake news with real news to create his so called wiki article for CV entry. I am under the impression this maybe a real person doing something similar. I see problems with this and feel it should be exterminated from wikipedia. Govvy (talk) 20:17, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
