No evidence of notability: article asserts that he holds school and college records for 800m (nothing notable about that) and that he "signed and played with" a professional football club, but the only football-related source gives no evidence that he played any matches.

 * Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 21:04, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure how User:GiantSnowman assessed this so quickly! I've been looking at it for about 20 minutes, and still don't know what to do with it. This one is a bit odd. Much older versions exist in no less than 9 other languages - the best probably being in Japanese - ja:ベルトラン・マック・ギルダス・ウビダ. If he played in J3, then he does meet WP:NFOOTBALL. But at the same time, I can't see an indication he actually played. But why does he appear in 9 other wikis? And there does seem to be a lot of media coverage - perhaps for simply being a stranger in a strange land. Is there more to this than I'm seeing? There's certainly a lot more sources in the various other versions of this article. Was there a previously deleted English version I've not found? Nfitz (talk) 21:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of subject passing either football or general notability guidelines. The Japanese version has a career stats table that records zero appearances and the text says he joined the J3 club in 2015 and his contract was cancelled in mid-season. Google translate thinks that article's creator has a talk page full of advice to stop creating micro-stubs and to wait until there's some media coverage of a player before creating an article. Striking the previous sentence: that advice is years old, and not really relevant anyway. Sorry. The other language versions have minimal content, were created by the now globally-locked or their fellow socks (apart from the Esperanto one, which looks like another of the sockfarm but hasn't been locked yet), and are sourced only to a stats database which lists no stats. I see no evidence of "a lot of media coverage": there's enough primary and local sources to show he ran fast when he was in high school, but that seems to be it (disclaimer: at least in Latin-script news sources; I don't read Japanese). cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:02, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
