The result was delete. The challenge is that the subject does not meet GNG. The 'keep' arguments do not sufficiently counter that. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:02, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Roger Rojas (footballer, born 1993)

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

Another (former?) player who seemingly fails WP:GNG due to lack of reliable independent sources covering the subject in detail. All I could find was just a handful of passing references about him, mostly covering his stats or just a couple of his transfers without digging into any further detail and his footballing career is apparently limited to seven professional games in the minor leagues.

 * Keep - Notable, Plays or has played for Paraguayan a top level league team.--PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 16:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please bring sources to your claims. According to those very few sources I could find, he has never played in the Paraguayan top flight, just two minor teams. Plus, WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG are not based on the footballer's league of playing. --Angelo (talk) 18:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * He's currently a player for s Paraguayan top flight team, however has sat on the bench for the entire matches he was part of so far. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 19:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Which team? Could you please provide sources to support your claims? The most recent news regarding this player are dated 2019, zero appearances for a minor league Paraguayan team: --Angelo (talk) 20:06, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The source that is referenced in the article shows that he appeared in 2 matches of Deportivo Capiatá as a benchwarmer. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 21:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , this shows he made 5 appearances in the fully pro Paraguay top flight as well as an appearance in the Italian Serie B which is regarded as one of the best second tiers in the world. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 04:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * As said above, having played in a fully professional league of any kind does not establish notability per se. --Angelo (talk) 07:37, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 17:57, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete does not pass our notability guidelines. Bruxton (talk) 23:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per . I found sources like and many many other sources. He has an ongoing extensive professional career. I look at the other Sports WikiProjects (or any WikiProject) and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 30. By the time I finish writing this, another 30 will probably be deleted. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 04:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The fact it is ongoing is simply wrong. He has apparently retired, since he has disappeared from the public eye since 2019. Extensive I wouldn't say either - seven first team appearances in five years... --Angelo (talk) 07:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - Article about footballer who had a brief professional career and wasn't the subject of SIGCOV. I can only find (and the ones posted above are) trivial mentions online. Fails WP:GNG. Jogurney (talk) 13:34, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
