Footballer who has never played a fully professional match, and as such fails WP:ATHLETE. The lack of sigificant coverage means he aslo fails WP:GNG Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:30, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - I had PRODed the article and the creator removed it without explanation. It's clear that he hasn't played in a fully-pro league and there is no evidence the article can pass the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I would just like to point out that the person who contested the PROD did explain why they did so, even if their reasoning was wrong. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:02, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I had a look at this article. The player plays for a top division Romanian team and is mentioned on UEFA.com as having played in the Europa League. Therefore he is notable. BabyJonas (talk) 14:23, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * My apologies - a reason was given. The problem is that I have looked at many sites and found zero evidence that this person has ever played in the Romanian top division (or the Europa league). UEFA.com has no mentions of him that I can find. If you have links which show he played in either competition, I'll happily add them to the article and withdraw my delete vote.

 * I left a note on the article's talk page giving my reasons because the earlier notice didn't have a link to where I could give my reasons. Here's the url |Player profile on UEFA.com. It shows that he was called up to the Europa League squad, even though he didn't get substituted in. The wikipedia article for the club he plays for FC_Timişoara indicates they are a top flight club and were reached 2nd place last year which led to Europa League qualification. It's not easy to get more information on him because I believe he is still classified as a youth player, and the Romanian top flight doesn't get much attention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BabyJonas (talk • contribs) 15:25, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:ATHLETE requires that a player actually play for a professional team. Gavriluta may be part of the FC Timişoara squad, but as far as I can tell he has never actually played a game for them. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
