Article about a footballer who has never played professionally and fails WP:GNG Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. According to the Soccerway profile linked in the article the subject has played eight matches in the Umaglesi Liga, and, according to its Wikipedia article, that league's organising body is the "Professional Football League of Georgia", so the prima facie evidence is that the subject has played professionally. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The fact that the organising body's name includes the word professional proves nothing. The league just as easily be a semi-professional league which would still mean that Mr. Kharabadze fails WP:ATHLETE. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:04, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Unless we can determine that the Umaglesi Liga is in fact semi-pro and not an actual professional league the article should be kept. If it is a professional league the subject passes WP:ATHLETE.Narthring (talk  • contribs) 04:18, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The onus should be on you to prove notability, not for us to prove non-notability. GiantSnowman 06:29, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep plays in a top-level European league Eldumpo (talk) 09:11, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Playing a european top-level league is insufficient to pass WP:ATHLETE. The league must be fully pro, and I am yet to find any indication that the Umaglesi Liga is. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:33, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Athlete is guidance of course, and what is your definition of 'fully pro' Eldumpo (talk) 08:34, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * A fully pro league is exactly what the name suggests: a league in which all players are professional. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:29, 4 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. The burden ought to be on the inclusion of this article being supported by reliable sources to say that the subject meets WP:ATH. All the more so for a BLP stub only sourced to stats pages. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:55, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
