Iqram Rifqi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. While this player has attracted some coverage, he's yet to make his senior debut in a fully-professional league, and such coverage as is present is relatively run of the mill stuff, as I see it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:53, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn per correction from Struway2. I had misread the source discussed there, which caused the initial PROD and eventually the AfD here. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:41, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment - technically the nom is correct. The subject does not currently qualify under WP:NFOOTY. However, the article indicates that the subject has been promoted to the S League parent team.  As soon as the subject takes the pitch against another S League team, the subject will qualify.  I recommend holding this, if that is possible, until the end of the upcoming season to see whether the subject does so.  Absent an injury or other unexpected issue, the subject is likely to qualify.  Another option is for an editor to userfy the article until that time.--Rpclod (talk) 03:00, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * There's never any objection to re-creating an article once the player involved makes the necessary appearance on the park. Considering that the 2018 season of the S-League isn't meant to start until the end of March (according to its article) and runs until October, that's potentially a very long hold-over period - and, playing devil's advocate, what's to stop the argument being made after that time of "Well, he's been in the squad, just never selected, so why don't we hold that over until the end of next season?" and so on. Userfication may work, as I can see that the article's creator seems to be a keen fan of the league and would presumably be well-placed to update and re-create anyway. That said, I note that the other non-NFOOTY-compliant articles the same user created were deleted via PROD. This is a special case for what seems to be a reason entirely unrelated to the original user or the subject. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 08:47, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 08:48, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 12:27, 19 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. The nom is not in fact correct. This piece, cited as ref #3 in the article, clearly shows he has played in the S.League, which is listed as fully professional per the wording of WP:NFOOTBALL. Having read that, I checked Soccerway, which confirms ten (10) appearances in that league, so have added that information to the article. Please consider WP:BEFORE. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:51, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You're entirely correct. I misread that article as being about his appearances in the league below the S-League, rather than the S-League itself. I'll withdraw the nomination and close this one accordingly. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:37, 19 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - Passes NFOOTY, has played senior international football, in a fully professional league or in a match in the competition proper (i.e. not qualifying rounds) of a cup competition which involved two teams both from FPLs. From the sources in the article he also seems to have garnered a reasonable amount of non-trivial coverage too. Fenix down (talk) 10:50, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
