The result was   delete as he fails WP:ATHLETE. Even semi-professional footballers receive ridiculous amounts of media coverage, so WP:N is a very poor barometer to measure their notability by. Therefore we are left with actually playing in a professional league as the best way to gauge notability. пﮟოьεԻ  5  7  15:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. Sukuta-Pasu does play in a professional league. He plays as a forward for Bayer 04 which is a club in the 1. Bundesliga. 1. Bundesliga is the professional football league in Germany. Adrockos555 —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
