Nelinho (Mozambican footballer)

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

Article about former international footballer which comprehensively fails WP:GNG. PROD contested without supplying evidence of WP:SIRS on the subject. I'd like to believe a Mozambican footballer with an extensive career at international level would pass the GNG, but I'm finding nothing to back that belief.

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. Agree that sources should be out there for somebody like this. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:19, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment a good example of WP:BIAS in play. With 33 national team caps, we wouldn't have have any problems providing references for a first-world nation who speaks English. But here we have a non-white, very poor, nation, and a player from the turn-of-the-century - with few if any online sources available from that period. This is an issue we need to address, rather than ignoring common sense. Nfitz (talk) 01:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia does not exist to right great wrongs such as a bias against covering African sportspeople, the simple fact of the matter is that no sources can be found that would cause a GNG pass. A search under "Nasser Carimo futebolista moçambicano" did bring up several passing mentions in relation to his time as assistant manager of the Mozambique national team, but the most extensive coverage I could find was this in O Pais, which has only a paragraph actually on him and is such probably not SIGCOV, with everything else being very brief passing mentions.

 * Delete per analysis by DW. Passing mentions do not add up to GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 22:49, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
