Daniel Lopes Silva

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Original concern was "Does not assert notability under WP:ATHLETE and WP:FOOTYN". The prod was then removed, with the explanation "certainly does assert notability - says he plays for a top division team in Sweden". This point of contention obviously stems from a misunderstanding of the meaning of the word "plays" in this context. WP:FOOTYN requires that a player must have played at least one match for a club at the required level for that player to be considered notable. However, Daniel Lopes Silva makes no claim that said player has ever played a single game for Kalmar FF, meaning that notability has not been asserted. – PeeJay 00:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment – Having done some research since opening this AfD, I have discovered that Daniel Lopes Silva has previously been on the books of various Brazilian clubs. However, I have no idea whether or not he made any appearances for those clubs. – PeeJay 00:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * As a follow up, I found that he played in the Copa Brasileiro 2007 - Serie A for Nautico, so he clearly played in a fully professional league. Here is a matchreport: Jogurney (talk) 19:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
