 * Keep, provided reliable sources are provided. WP:ATH states athletes are notable if they "have competed at the fully professional level of a sport", which appears to be the case. However, there is no reliable source to confirm this. I42 (talk) 11:37, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - a website dedicated to football in the former Yugoslavia reports a person named Amir Begović as playing for FK Leotar over three seasons in the Yugoslav Second League. In my experience, the data at this website is reliable and is based on the Yugoslav football almanacs published during this period. My only concern is that the article is about a person name Amer Begović. Does anyone know if they are the same person? Jogurney (talk) 04:47, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. With regards to the question asked by Jogurney about whether the player mentioned on his website is the same person in this article or not, it's plausible as the two spellings of his are interchangable, and the Canadian forum quoted in the article uses the alternative Amir spelling. The info contained in that report also seems to tallys with the Zerodic website and states he played at a professional level, so I would say he passes WP:ATHLETE.

 * Keep as it appears that Amer Begović is the Amir Begović who played in the Yugoslav Second League for FK Leotar. Jogurney (talk) 12:28, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep looks to pass WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 14:51, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
