Nelson Oliveira Gonçalves da Silva

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Per Brazilian FA archive, he just played for Madureira (Serie C) and other Brazilian State League. He is a non-notable footballer Matthew_hk   t  c  11:59, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete hasn't played in a fully-pro league, so fails WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 15:42, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - he has played in the Copa do Brasil once, which means he barely passes WP:ATHLETE. I suspect he's played in the fully-pro Campeonato Carioca at some point, but can't find a match report which shows this. Jogurney (talk) 22:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As a follow up, I did find a match report which shows Nelson played for Bangu this past weekend in the fully-pro Campeonato Carioca. Jogurney (talk) 02:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Campeonato Carioca was excluded in fully-pro list, due to State level. Matthew_hk   t  c  09:51, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that it should be excluded per WP:FOOTYN, but WP:ATHLETE doesn't incorporate WP:FOOTYN yet. Also, the Copa do Brasil is a national fully-pro competition. I'm not sure this article should be kept, but it does pass WP:ATHLETE. Jogurney (talk) 14:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - I don't know if this guy meets WP:ATHLETE just because of a handful of games or not, but what I can see is an article with no claims of notability whatsoever. A Google search of his full name gives only 15 hits, so for me he fails WP:N. --Angelo (talk) 02:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've tried to find non-trivial coverage of this player in reliable sources with no success. Maybe it's because his common name is Nelson so I'm getting too many irrelevant hits, but I don't think the article will pass WP:N. That said, my understanding of WP:ATHLETE is that it is a brightline test, you've either played in a fully pro league or you haven't. This player has. It wouldn't be much of loss to the project if it were deleted though. Jogurney (talk) 20:07, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
