Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Davide Sancinito


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. It comes down to a subjective difference of opinion on whether the sources are sufficient to meet WP:GNG, and with the !votes fairly evenly split, neither side holds a clear advantage over the other. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:19, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Amateur footballer who played only one season professionally in a minor league team. Nothing really notable about him, no valuable WP:RS can be found, apart from the usual transfer reports, occasional stats and interviews, fails WP:GNG. Angelo (talk) 11:07, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - I found, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and , among many many more Italian sources from ivg.it, svsport.it, imperiasport.net, riviera24.it, calcioflashponente.it, sanremonews.it, primalariviera.it, cittadellaspezia.com, imperianews.it, YouTube.com, imperiapost.it, genova24.it, and settimanasport.com etc. Clearly significant figure in Italian lower league football. He has an ongoing career with experience in the fully pro Italian Serie C. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 02:38, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The sources above are not sufficient for GNG. Q&A interview on local sports news site, 4-ish sentences at best on a local fanpage.it domain mentioning a match where he subbed out due to colorblindness, standard transfer news, routine match coverage, transfer news, transfer news, Q&A interview (video), Q&A interview, Q&A interview, Q&A interview, <50-word PR announcement of an award, Q&A interview, Q&A interview, Q&A interview, Q&A interview (video), Q&A interview (video), press conference quotes, Q&A interview, and two links to the same Q&A interview. Garbage, nowhere close to SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 07:08, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind there are many many more Italian sources not listed here from ivg.it, svsport.it, imperiasport.net, riviera24.it, calcioflashponente.it, sanremonews.it, primalariviera.it, cittadellaspezia.com, imperianews.it, YouTube.com, imperiapost.it, genova24.it, and settimanasport.com etc. Clearly significant figure in Italian lower league football. He has an ongoing career with experience in the fully pro Italian Serie C. Also those two links were not to the same article. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 07:47, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Except these websites might very well not be reliable sources (YouTube videos are not considered valid sources): they are all minor local/regional websites with no real authority, whose subjects are basically just game reports, stats, transfer reports and "interviews". One season at Serie C level for a player who otherwise played amateur football all his life and is now well into regional leagues does not guarantee notability. Having your name mentioned in the Web at some pages does not inherently qualify you for notability. So, sorry, but it clearly fails WP:SIGCOV. --Angelo (talk) 13:55, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Then why don't you link the sources that do count towards GNG instead of all those useless routine and non-independent articles? JoelleJay (talk) 04:20, 23 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep per sources above which show notability. GiantSnowman 20:00, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Bombardment of non GNG sources does not mean the article is notable. I agree with Joelle's analysis above, this article fails WP:GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:28, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article about non-notable footballer which clearly fails WP:GNG - sources provided so far fall short of WP:SIGCOV. Jogurney (talk) 19:23, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly passes GNG, article can be reasonably expanded.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:36, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
