Procedural nom. This was prod tagged and deleted as part of User:Oo7565's random-deletion-tagging spree. It appears to me that he meets the football notability criteria by some distance, so I've undeleted and set up a procedural AFD discussion. Procedural nom, so I abstain. –  iride scent   22:29, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't know the Portuguese setup that well so may be wrong, but isn't S.C. Covilhã a fully professional club in a fully professional league? – iride  scent   23:17, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not on the list. If any evidence can be found to support the claim that it is a fully professional league the article should probably be improved and kept and the league added to the list. King of the  North   East  23:43, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with the league, but according to Portuguese League for Professional Football, it does appear to be run as a professional league. Does anyone know for sure? Jogurney (talk) 03:07, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - looks to fail WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 00:30, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The article on the club says "one league away from the Portuguese First Division." If someone in the U.S. plays on a farm team or a minor league team, does that satisfy WP:ATHLETE? If not, why would a less than highest pro league team from a smaller country qualify? I seem to recall deletions of minor league players, but I do not participate in that many sports AFDs.

 * WP:ATHLETE says that a player has to have participated in a fully professional league, it does not state that said league has to be the highest level in its country. I have no idea what a "farm team" is so can't speak for players on such teams, but the policy as it stands does not state that players must play at the highest level in their country -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - It appears that Scoppa has played in a fully-pro league (since the LPFP runs the Liga de Honra) which means the article passes WP:ATHLETE, and regardless the article comes close to passing WP:N (based on the Record and LPFP sources). Jogurney (talk) 15:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The two sources don't come close to him passing WP:N as they're just trivial statistic sites that would mean nothing if the league wasn't fully-pro. --Jimbo[online] 23:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. The source from Record certainly does. I realize one source is not multiple sources, and that is why I said it comes close. Jogurney (talk) 00:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
