Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the articles creator on the grounds that he has received significant coverage (see his comment on my talk page for more detail). However, almost all of the coverage he has received is transfer speculation and announcements relating to his trial at Manchester United and his signing for Chelsea F.C., which is routine sports journalism and therefore does not amount to significant coverage within the meaning of the general notability guideline.

 * Oppose: It was actually Manchester City, though it doesn't really matter. 99% this article reappears within months (if it gets deleted) as the player will make a fully pro league debut by the end of the season. Anyway, I have made my comment regarding Dautovic's personal interviews with various sports media, transfer speculation and what not, on Sir Sputnik's talk page and provided sources to back those claims (plenty of others to find in case they are needed).

 * Oppose: The player gained wide media coverage in 2012 and was a star player for Slovenia U17 at the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship (fully pro continental competition, making him notable per GNG:Sports) and is still regarded as the most promising youth defender in Slovenia, and there are many players like him without fully pro appearances, for example Lewis Baker (footballer), he has 0 appearances in the Premier League (apperance in the FA Cup does not make him notable according to GNG), so his article should be deleted too, and I could not care less if he plays for Chelsea and is English, the rules are same for everyone then.

 * Delete - where is the evidence of this "wide media coverage"? I cannot see any that shows notability; what is there violates WP:BLP1E and WP:ROUTINE. Overall, this player fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL and is non-notable. GiantSnowman 12:37, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - per above, a case of WP:TOOSOON by the looks of things as has not played in fully professional league or senior international team. Agree with GS regarding routine coverage, but happy to change if in depth interviews / discussions with / of the player can be sourced, not just transfer speculation.

 * Have you bothered to look into the Sir Sputnik's talk page? There are sourced interviews with the player from different sources/media. Havent provided any sources to this page before as its clear form Sir Sputnik's nomination that a discussion has taken place on his talk page as well and link to his talk page was provided in the lead.

 * Comment - yes I did thank you, please could you remember to assume good faith in future. I do not consider one video interview and a brief written interview that could not have taken more than a couple of minutes to conduct amidst all the routine transfer speculation amounts to significant coverage.

 * Delete or WP:USERFY for now, recreate if and when he does make his pro league debut. Anything else is WP:CRYSTAL (especially because of his injury). — Yerpo Eh? 06:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
