Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. Contest rationale did not address this concern. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:37, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom. Has not played in a fully professional league, nor played senior international football. No indication of any other achievements garnering significant reliable coverage to cover GNG. Fenix down (talk) 11:40, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - the subject fails both the general notabilty guideline and the subject-specific notability guideline, as the footballer hasn't received significant coverage or played in a fully pro league. Mentoz (talk) 21:34, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The season begins this weekend. And we're really going to delete the players now, so that we recreate them in a few weeks? Let's have some WP:COMMONSENSE.  The player is signed to a fully-pro league listed in WP:FPL and is almost certain to play. With almost certainty they will play, WP:CRYSTAL is not a factor. Nfitz (talk) 05:04, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Userfy. This is a young player just signed to a team in a fully pro league listed in WP:FPL. He was listed as a sub in the first match of the season, but did not play. There's a good chance he will play in the season, but since he's a goalkeeper, one cannot say. WP:NFOOTBALL does not allow for considering the "possibility" of appearing, so I cannot vote "keep," but it does not make sense to delete an article that might be revived satisfying WP:NFOOTBALL very soon.

 * Delete. Not notable and besides, the sources appear to be written in Japanese anyway. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 01:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Please note that the language of the sources has no bearing on judging notability. See the third criterion in WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 02:36, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
