The result was   delete all except for Rindo and Nakamura, on which there is no consensus. Apart from anything else, as pointed out the remainder are effectively unsourced BLPs - a bare URL which claims such a person exists is not enough. Black Kite (talk) 10:00, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

No proof he ever played for any of the clubs listed in a professional league, can't find anything on Google that says he did either. I am also nominating the following related pages because they all seem to fail in the same way:

I may add more later, if I find any. Lukeno94 (talk) 09:25, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Makoto Rindo, Hayato Nakamura - This article meets Notability (sports) - 2. --Japan Football (talk) 11:41, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No, they don't. Neither has played in a fully professional league, only in a cup. Lukeno94 (talk) 12:04, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Notability (sports) shows WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues says "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league ... or cup, will generally be regarded as notable." --Japan Football (talk) 12:37, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Then don't site WP:NFOOTY, because that only mentions leagues, not cups. And general consensus has been to delete players that have only made 1 cup appearance. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Comment - yes there is a long-standing consensus that playing a cup-match between two teams from fully pro league confers notability, but that is no excuse to create a whole bunch of substubs with no real claim for notability. If I bumped into one of these article, I would probably have requested a speedy deletion per A7. In a similar AfD I researched and added info into the article, but I'm not going to do that on all of these articles. I suggest that the creator of these article takes his time to write sourced info on why these individuals are notable before we can close this discussion. If not, I think we should delete all.

 * Keep Nakamura as he has played in a cup fixture between to clubs from fully pro leagues, Delete Rindo, his cup appearance was against a lower division league and the otherwise fails WP:NSPORT, neutral on the rest for now. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:35, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I went through a whole host of this user's stuff and improved a lot of the ones that I could find some evidence that they'd played professional matches (well, I improved the infoboxes and the tables). Due to not having any knowledge of the Japanese language, I can't look for any more than that. To be honest, there were so many, I got bored and went off to do something else... A lot of these nominated articles had previously been prodded and de-prodded for the reason that there was a reference. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:13, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Delete all especially the emerson article as I think it may even be a hoax as below the wiki page the other results are about a footballer who has played in Indonesia, something the player in the article up for deletion doesn't appear to have done. Seasider91 (talk) 21:49, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
