José Martínez (football manager)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a football manager who does not WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL. PROD was contested on the grounds that This figure has coached at the first tier level in Denmark, Sweden, and Spain. Given that in these coaching positions he was either an analyst or assistant manager, this does not satisfy WP:NFOOTY, and there is no indication that he has received sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG.

 * Delete – WP:NFOOTY says "manager" so it doesn't seem that being an assistant manager, even for an WP:FPL league, would count. I can't find any coverage of him other than this, and that reads like a routine profile-of-the-new-guy interview. No NFooty + one borderline example of SIGCOV for WP:GNG = delete for me.

 * Keep - WP:NFOOTY says "manager" which does qualify him, as other sports such as basketball allow pages such as to remain, even though he has no top-tier or professional, head coaching or playing experience. The WP:NFOOTY definition needs to be clarified before this case is ruled on. To address SIGCOV he has articles such as the one above, and the following are other examples from just his transfer to Malmö FF alone:, , , , , , , , , .

 * Looking through those, they all appear to be routine non-significant coverage, plus some unrealiable sources and dead links. The basketball article is an WP:OSE argument. Leviv&thinsp;ich 17:51, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG (no significant coverage, just routine job appointment stuff) and WP:NFOOTBALL (he has not man aged or played in a fully-pro league; being an assistant is not enough). GiantSnowman 10:21, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:37, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete – as per above, fails GNG and NFOOTY. 21.colinthompson (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
