Fails WP:GNG. Only 1 quick mention in one source, to announce he was an interim head coach of a third-level team in Germany. Never played top-flight professionally. Article was created by the now-blocked user Rojodiablcerrocerrocerro, who created a bunch of articles on similar non-notable players, some of which have since been deleted.

 * Delete - I think he technically meets the current & contested version of NFOOTBALL, by managing in 3. Liga, but GNG is more important. GiantSnowman 15:34, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Aside from this particular article, would something like that count if it's only an interim position? Just asking out of curiosity. Fred Zepelin (talk) 15:40, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, interim or caretaker positions do count - but the claim to notability is arguably weaker, especially if it's an assistant or junior coach temporarily promoted for only a match or two. GiantSnowman 15:55, 19 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Best thing I can offer towards GNG is this story in a national newspaper. —Kusma (talk) 19:13, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Seems he also meets NFOOTY as a professional player in the tier two league of Paraguay. Overall, more interesting than the typical borderline notable player. Given that we're currently tightening the guidelines, I'm not sure whether he makes the cut, though. —Kusma (talk) 19:45, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ultimately, a player or manager needs to meet WP:BASIC, as the recent RfC decided. It doesn't matter that he played one game on a 2nd-division Paraguayan team. He doesn't have "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" Fred Zepelin (talk) 13:11, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I think he played an entire season, but the sourcing for that is pretty terrible (and I think "only German player on the List of foreign footballers in Paraguay" is his main claim to fame). So it looks like probably the Paraguayan second division shouldn't be considered notable automatically. Mentions on the website of Kicker (sports magazine) for his German career are minimal and routine. So yeah, delete. —Kusma (talk) 14:51, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

*Keep. Benefit of the doubt re borderline NFOOTY. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:43, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * NFOOTY has been thrown out in the recent RfC, so that argument doesn't hold any weight. Fred Zepelin (talk) 13:11, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * NFOOTY is being reviewed and, until it ever should be "thrown out", it carries weight. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:44, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The only weight it carries is "significant coverage is likely to exist". –dlthewave ☎ 16:53, 22 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:GNG. Regardless of any future updates to WP:NFOOTY, there has been a WP:FOOTY project consensus for the last year or two anyway that articles that scrape by NFOOTY but clearly fail GNG should be deleted. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:53, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails SPORTBASIC and GNG due to lack of significant coverage. NFOOTY does not presume notability. –dlthewave ☎ 16:55, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Vote changed to delete. I've just been reading the piece found by Kusma above and it doesn't really add anything so I don't think we will find enough. Doubtful about the Paraguay D2, too. No Great Shaker (talk) 17:37, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
