This BLP is undersourced, which leads to doubts about verifiability. Notability is also not sufficiently established, which means the article fails WP:NBIO. WP:BEFORE check failed to find anything of note. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 02:04, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment:, why does this not meet the standard set out in WP:Notability (sports)? According to this standard, "Players who have played ... in a competitive game between two teams from fully professional leagues will generally be regarded as notable." Bundesliga is such a league, according to WP:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues, which the notability standard links to. And the article on Savkovic has a sourced claim stating that "Savkovic made 50 appearances in the Bundesliga during his playing career." Surely this is sufficient? --Usernameunique (talk) 02:41, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The problem lies in that it fails a more general notability guideline in that there's no significant coverage of the individual. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 03:21, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. "...will generally be regarded as notable" does not mean an automatic wiki-notability, and I am of the opinion that professional sports players should be examined on a case by case basis. Bezrat (talk) 04:39, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, a player who was more than prolific enough to make the presumable claim that he had ample coverage in his time and country. Geschichte (talk) 08:24, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL by some way; needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 10:53, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - played at the highest level of German football, substantially meeting WP:NFOOTBALL Spiderone  18:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as he appears to meet the WP:NFOOTBALL requirements. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Have you really done a proper WP:BEFORE, there are a number of German sources on the web which I can't read or understand about him. Also did you even look at the coverage on the German wikipedia? I disagree with your assessment. NFOOTBALL is pretty clear, although some editors can't seem to grasp it. Yes it doesn't trump GNG, but I fail to see why you would nominate on such weak arguments. Govvy (talk) 14:18, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
