I can find no evidence of him having played for Lucerne, and his other club appearances are not enough to pass WP:ATHLETE. Due to the absence of significant coverage, he also fails WP:GNG Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - I proposed the article for deletion because he had never played in a league higher than the second level of Swiss football (Challenge League). However, I found that he did play in the second round of the 2007–08 Swiss Cup against Super League club FC Thun. Would that be sufficient to pass WP:ATHLETE?

 * That depends on if SC Cham is fully pro as well. If it is, he passes WP:FOOTYN, and should be kept. A quick look at the clubs article suggests that it isn't fully pro, but that's far from definitive. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:20, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep as article creator. He is notable enough by WP:ATHLETE standards in my eyes to merit an article. GiantSnowman 18:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * As the article's creator, can you provide a source for his appearances for Lucerne? I nominated this article because wasn't able to find any sources to support that he had played for Lucerne's first team. If he did, he obviously passes WP:ATHLETE. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:04, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * His profile, which was the basis for the creation of the article and showed notability, has been removed from Football.ch...I can find no other source. GiantSnowman 23:51, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Given that the Swiss Football Association has retracted his profile, and there is no other source to support its contents, I think its safe to assume that the data it provided was not accurate. Since SC Cham play in the Third division, his league appearances aren't enough to pass WP:ATHLETE, and the cup appearance does not meet WP:FOOTYN. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, you're right - no sources = no notability. Delete GiantSnowman 00:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - Article is about an athlete who at most played in one cup match against a pro team. I was unable to find sources for this person which would satisfy WP:GNG, so I believe he is non-notable. Jogurney (talk) 17:07, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
