Marios Georgiou (footballer)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

He played one game of professional football then spent the rest of his career as a semi-pro/amateur. AEK Larnaca were previously playing in the 2009–10 Cypriot Second Division so his alleged 18 appearances for them, even if correct, are not guaranteed to be top tier appearances. His two cup games for ASIL Lysi took place while they were playing in the 2015–16 Cypriot Second Division and the 2016–17 Cypriot Second Division so no claim to notability can be made from them.

Searches in Google News and DDG yielded plenty of in-depth coverage of Marios Georgiou (gymnast) but nothing about this semi-pro footballer. WP:GNG not demonstrated. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:28, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with one or two appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively, as is the case here. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:14, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete playing one game as a pro isn't enough to justify an article about the person if they fail WP:GNG in the meantime. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:59, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nom. The results for the gymnast were quite abundant which made sorting through results a much longer process, but ultimately I also couldn't find WP:SIGCOV for the subject. Per consensus at WP:WINNEROUTCOMES, this should result in delete. GauchoDude (talk) 13:09, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep no evidence of any 'long standing consensus'. Clearly passes WP:GNG by a long shot. 2A00:23C7:E915:1201:E473:B71D:61AB:8F29 (talk) 15:47, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: The long standing consensus has been noted in multiple AfD's and has been summarized at WP:WINNEROUTCOMES per my note above. As others haven't had any luck with WP:GNG, I'm open to seeing where you've found your sources that led you to that conclusion. GauchoDude (talk) 17:33, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The consensus has been established at many AfDs going as far back as the many linked at Articles for deletion/Dimitar Ivanov (footballer, born 1991) by GiantSnowman. More recent examples include Georgiou's compatriots Constantinos Louvaris, Zannetos Mytidis and Christos Charalambous. As GauchoDude says, if this passes GNG by a long shot, it shouldn't be hard to present some sort of coverage. Stating that something meets GNG but not providing supporting evidence is not that helpful in a deletion discussion. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:25, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
