While technically meeting WP:NSPORT, in my opinion, this falls under the part in the lede of that guideline, that says meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. (Emphasis theirs.) He only has two fully pro league appearances, the last of which was eight years ago, with no indication that he will make more any time soon. More importantly, he has not received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:54, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - two appearances a few years ago (to technically meet WP:NFOOTBALL - and do we even know how long he played?) is not enough when he fails WP:GNG. Some WP:COMMONSENSE is needed here, and plenty of AFD precedent exists to say that barely passing NFOOTBALL is not enough when you fail GNG, see Articles for deletion/Oscar Otazu, Articles for deletion/Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Articles for deletion/Aleksandr Salimov, Articles for deletion/Andrei Semenchuk, Articles for deletion/Artyom Dubovsky, Articles for deletion/Cosmos Munegabe, Articles for deletion/Marios Antoniades, Articles for deletion/Scott Sinclair (footballer born 1991), Articles for deletion/Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer (2nd nomination), Articles for deletion/Matheus Eccard, Articles for deletion/Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Articles for deletion/Metodija Stepanovski, Articles for deletion/Linas Klimavičius, Articles for deletion/Takumi Ogawa and Articles for deletion/Nicky Fish (2nd nomination), amongst others.

 * Delete - there's a well-established consensus in favour of deletion if the subject technically (or only just) passes WP:NFOOTY but comprehensively fails WP:GNG. I've not seen any evidence that consensus has changed and this case would seem to fit squarely into that consensus.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 23:26, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - per GS, consensus is that a grace period is given to young players once they make their first fully professional or senior international appearance in part to avoid continual recreation / deletion of the article and also as it is anticipated that their notability will only increase from that point. Consensus also exists as shown above that if their level of notability does not increase then their notability is reassessed. In this instance, this is a player who has failed to progress. Whilst he is still playing and could become sufficiently notable to satisfy GNG, he is clearly not at the moment. Fenix down (talk) 10:15, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete – Per precedents provided by GS above, technically meeting WP:NFOOTY is not enough without significant coverage to also meet WP:GNG. The grace period to meet GNG after meeting NFOOTY is long past. — Jkudlick t c s 05:46, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
