The result was delete. The arguments to keep are substantially stronger; nobody has rebutted the challenge to the sources provided, and meeting NSPORTS isn't enough. Vanamonde (Talk) 00:41, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. Likely to be Iranian sources out there but I can't find any. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 21:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's surprising to nominate the article for deletion without reading the clear Wikipedia guideline for the notability of football players, as given here: WikiProject Football/Notability
 * Hassan Shoushtari played mulitiple times for professional football club Sepahan in Iran Football Pro League, and he clearly fulfils the 1st criteria of Football Players Notability. Koorosh1234 (talk|contribs)             13:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I guess you missed the notice on that page that says "The player section of this notability guidance has been superseded by WP:Notability (sports), and is included below for information only as a record of the previous guidance that the Footy project came up with."
 * They have to meet WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. –– FormalDude  (talk)  15:10, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep, significant coverage searching his name in Farsi, حسن شوشتری, such as 1, 2, 3, and there's more on his Persian Wiki page.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:55, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Pinging at their request for when sources are found. –– FormalDude   (talk)  02:09, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping - I'm inclined to agree with JoelleJay that the sources are insufficient (based on Google Translate). GiantSnowman 12:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. Sources offered above are a routine injury report, an "interview" entirely composed of his own quotes/"Shushtri said..." (no interviewer-contributed content whatsoever), and 15 search results containing "Hassan" and "Shushtri" somewhere in their articles. The ones actually on the subject are: bare quotes from him about his injury sourced to a "fan report", a couple pieces derived from the injury report press release, and at least four nearly-identical signing announcements "citing the public relations of Foulad Mobarakeh Sepahan Club". No SIGCOV, independent or otherwise. JoelleJay (talk) 04:09, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per Ortizesp and Koorosh1234. Player with ongoing career who has played In fully pro Iran top flight. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:31, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Just because you personally feel pure interviews, routine reports, and press releases ought to count toward notability doesn't overrule the consensus1234 that those items do not contribute to GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 01:54, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. JoelleJay provides good analysis of the sources. They aren't significant enough to meet GNG. We have the usual non-policy based arguments for keep but nothing significant to demonstrate he's notable. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 21:46, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
