Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested without providing a reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:31, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Can find no evidence of this player outside of wikipedia. I'd hate that to be because of the language barrier, but the article doesn't prove notability. Rankersbo (talk) 19:50, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Nakamura definitely fails the main conditions of WP:NFOOTY: "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable." Nakamura in fact fits the particular case cited: "A player who signs for a domestic team but has not played in any games is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable." The only way of then saving this is to argue that his youth career received sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. While he seems to have garnered some attention both in high school and in college, I just don't see enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 16:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - He probably has a bright future ahead of him, but for now, the coverage just isn't there. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:29, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 12:54, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - never played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means the article fails WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 12:55, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
