Guto (footballer, born 1991)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about footballer who has only played semi-professionally except for 3 second-half substitute's appearances in the Campeonato Mineiro. There is no online Portuguese-language coverage of this footballer other than database entries, match reports and transfer announcements (and nothing at all which would be in-depth coverage). Although having played in a few minutes in a fully-pro league match creates a presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL, there is a long-standing consensus that when an article comprehensively fails WP:GNG as this does, the presumption isn't valid.

 * Delete - scraping by on NFOOTBALL is insufficient when there is a complete lack of coverage, failing GNG. GiantSnowman 11:54, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable footballer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:33, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep It's better to have a complete set of articles here for WP:NFOOTBALL than maintain a complete set on another site and a separate incomplete set here. Subject-specific guidelines are more important than WP:GNG as a reason to delete an article, there's no reason to say they shouldn't be as a reason to keep an article.

 * Delete - completely and utterly fails WP:GNG; NFOOTBALL is a useful guideline designed to help us decide whether an article is likely to pass GNG. In these sorts of cases where the footballer clearly fails GNG, the borderline passing of NFOOTBALL is irrelevant. It very clearly says at the top of WP:NSPORTS that the SNG are only there as a guide on whether something passes GNG or not and that meeting the SNG does not mean that the article has to be kept.

 * Delete since the arguments for that are valid, and the arguments for keep are invalid. Geschichte (talk) 21:28, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
