Proposed deletion removed by article creator without explanation. Concern was that the article concerns a young footballer who fails the football-related notability guideline by not having played in a fully professional league or at senior international level, and I can find no evidence for his passing the general notability guideline. Please note that the appearance for Bury in the infobox is not confirmed by standard statistical sources, e.g. Soccerbase. Soccerway confirms two inclusions among the substitutes, but he never appeared in a match. Struway2 (talk) 22:54, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Agree the two appearance claim is misleading as he was an unused substitute on both occasions. An example of WP:CRYSTAL, No problem with recreation of this article if he ever meets any of the NFOOTY criteria. Fenix down (talk) 09:53, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NFOOTBALL.  Jim Carter (from public cyber)  16:54, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:36, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG... JMHamo (talk) 18:20, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Not only is he a professional footballer, but he is also a Iran under-21 national team player - these both should be sufficient reasons. Princeofpersia1 (talk) 12:20, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Whether they should be sufficient is a discussion for another place; at the moment, they aren't. The football-specific notability guideline WP:NFOOTBALL says that a player is notable if he has played in "any FIFA sanctioned senior international match including the Olympics", and is generally regarded as notable if he has played in a fully professional league, where "played" means the player "was in the starting line-up or came on as a substitute". Mr Nasseri has done neither.
 * The explanatory note at WP:NFOOTBALL clarifies that "youth players are not notable unless they satisfy one of the statements above, or if they can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG". Among Mr Nasseri's colleagues at his current club are a number of young professional footballers, some of them under-age international players, some with loan spells in a well-reported but not fully professional league, one having played for a previous club in the NextGen Series and the UEFA Youth League, but unless someone demonstrates significant non-trivial media coverage of that player in sources independent of the subject, they don't qualify for an article either. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:21, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
