Costinha (footballer, born 1985)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

His professional football career spans 4+17 minutes, i.e. two substitute appearances, at Vitória. After that he was not a regular player in any team, not even the Spanish fourth tier. He thus fails WP:GNG and the spirit of WP:NFOOTBALL. Geschichte (talk) 18:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with one or two appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively, as is the case here. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 21:05, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep passes NFOOTY, and has long-enough semi-pro career that I think it would be worth it to keep.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:51, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article about footballer who made 2 substitute's appearances in a fully-pro league. Although this creates a presumption of notability through WP:NFOOTBALL, that presumption is invalid because it comprehensively fails WP:GNG. There are tons of sources about the Costinha who played for Porto and Monaco (and is now a manager), but virtually nothing on this one (just database entries).

 * Delete, I couldn't find sufficient sources to pass WP:GNG. Suonii180 (talk) 08:58, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - confusingly, there was another Costinha who ended up playing for Vitória the following decade who receives plenty of coverage and makes it difficult to find anything for this Costinha subject to AfD. It should be deleted unless clear proof of GNG comes forward. My searches came to nothing. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
