Semen Finashin

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

Article was sent to draft space with the comment Badly sourced BLP, not yet passing WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Article was then superficially edited and submitted and then declined by User:Greenman following a comment from User:Robert McClenon. This would have even failed under the old WP:NFOOTBALL as he has never played in an WP:FPL.

Subject has played 10 minutes of football in the semi-pro Russian third tier. In a Russian Google News search, we have totally trivial mentions and one semi-decent local source in Vologda.rf. A close examination of that source, though, shows that it's nothing more than a quote from Finashin and saying that he scored a goal three minutes before the end. Nothing better found in DDG. Fails WP:GNG and SPORTBASIC #5. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:54, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - Does not satisfy general notability. As noted by nominator, did not satisfy old football notability guideline either.  Reviewer was correct that it was not ready for article space, and originator has moved it back into article space, and it is still not ready for article space.  Sometimes an originator should take the advice of the reviewers.  Robert McClenon (talk) 23:29, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 07:15, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
