 * Delete - per nom. Subject clearly fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. To me it looks like a clear case of someone trying to save a pet article from deletion. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment – Why? What should I do and not to be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daznam (talk • contribs)
 * The articles should be deleted because the subject does not meet Wikipedias criteria for inclusion. This is not about the quality of the article or your edits, but the subject itself. Rettetast (talk) 20:03, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment – There are many similar article and are not deleted. Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daznam (talk • contribs) 20:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably, but the existence of other articles that should be deleted is not an argument for keeping this. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Rettetast (talk) 20:22, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment – Drago Boskovic has been mentioned on .football-talents states that is allowed to have an entry because they are "frequently mentioned". Is that not the same thing? If Drago Boskovic was mentioned more frequently they would be allowed to have an entry?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daznam (talk • contribs) 20:44, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep For all reasons listed above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daznam (talk • contribs) 08:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you cite specific examples of in-depth coverage of this player in reliable sources? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fh4 (talk • contribs) 09:16, 26 February 2010 (UTC)  — Fh4 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Keep a google search for "Drago Boskovic" brings up enough sources for notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ditek (talk • contribs) 09:47, 26 February 2010 (UTC)  — Ditek (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * NB Also above user's first ever edit. I smell puppetry..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:57, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Enough sources to show notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daznam (talk • contribs) 16:25, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * As per above, can you point us to these sources? So far all that's in the article is a link to a profile which simply lists the most basic of information (name, date of birth, etc).  This is not in-depth coverage of the subject -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:34, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment What factors influence Will be deleted This article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daznam (talk • contribs) 16:47, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - no evidence of passing WP:ATHLETE or WP:GNG -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:59, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I added a reference —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daznam (talk • contribs) 10:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I think there are many such articles.References will not have and are not deleted.This has at least one reference enough..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nem2 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * One reference is not enough. And the "profile" currently linked in the article does not represent in-depth coverage so doesn't count anyway -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Please see WP:GNG. A subject has to be the subject of in-depth coverage in reliable sources, not merely "mentioned".  If you can provide true sources (i.e. full-length articles about the player) the article might get kept, but so far there is no evidence this exists. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: football-talents is a user-editable site and I do not think it can possibly meet reliable source standards. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:ATH and WP:GNG. All keep votes seem to be from the same user if I'm not mistaken Spiderone  21:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

User:Daznam has been blocked 1 week for sock puppetry, and User:Dp4, User:Nem2, User:Ditek, and User:Fh4 have all been indefinitely blocked as socks of Daznam. To whomever closes this deletion discussion, please take this into account. –MuZemike 03:37, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Clearly fails of WP:GNG and WP:ATHLETE. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hasn't played at a high enough level of football (ie in a fully professional league, or in international competition) to meet the notability guidelines. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 19:55, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails ATHLETE having not played at required level, no international appearances, no professional appearances. Fails GNG, nothing out there except footbaltalent.com type entries, to which anyone can add themselves, notable or not (just check out the youngest players listed). Doesn't even seem to appear on WP's own club profile of supposed club, and no reliable source obvious that he does in the real world -- Club Oranje T 10:27, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
