Rafael Albuquerque (footballer)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG and the spirit of WP:NFOOTBALL, his professional play consisting of 44 minutes for Rio Ave and one full cup game for Chaves.

The consensus is that a handful of games might not be enough to meet our guidelines. Some of them are linked here; since then the number of AFDs concerning this precedent have gone from around 50 to over 100. Geschichte (talk) 21:27, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perhaps the guideline needs updating but for now, it appears this player passes WP:NFOOTY. NemesisAT (talk) 21:31, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - WP:ROUTINE coverage of appearing in 1.5 games does not meet WP:GNG. NFOOTY is merely guidance about which topics are likely to meet GNG, not a policy itself. MrsSnoozyTurtle 09:08, 5 September 2021 (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 09:19, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, passes NFOOTY.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:21, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article about footballer who played in one match in a fully-pro league which creates a presumption of notability (NFOOTBALL), but the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG, so the presumption is invalid. I can't find any online English- or Portuguese-language coverage other than database entries (clearly not SIGCOV). Jogurney (talk) 15:08, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
