Footballer who fails GNG and NFOOTY BlameRuiner (talk) 06:30, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Reluctant Delete. If one strictly applies WP:NFOOTY then no, he is not playing in a fully professional league as defined in WP:FPL (apologies for my oversight earlier), though one of the reasons why this is a reluctant vote is simply because he is the captain of one of the oldest professional clubs in Bangledesh, competing in the country's top-tier league. So there's obviously a lot more potential out there (compared with single-line stubs of many footballers we now have articles on), but this has to be the conclusion based on existing policies. Not seeing much other than routine coverage, so WP:GNG is hardly met. If this article gets deleted this could have an impact on many articles on Mohammedan Sporting Club footballers we currently have (many of which are single line stubs). --Dps04 (talk) 08:41, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Are we absolutely certain he hasn't met WP:GNG? Typically players like this (captains of the top few club teams in a country) sail by even if the league technically doesn't meet WP:NFOOTY. SportingFlyer  T · C  14:44, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Not to my knowledge. I searched Uryu Nagata and his Japanese name "永田羽竜" but found little outside of routine coverage and football websites. Please let me know if you found anything substantial in reliable sources. --Dps04 (talk) 09:49, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not finding a Bengali version of his name. That should yield some routine hits at least ... and I can't find those. Which means I'm not searching it properly. I have to think that the captain of one of the top teams in a country of 200 million may likely be GNG, especially with the stranger in a strange land thing going on ...

 * Digging deeper, it seems the Bengali version varies a lot, "উরিউ নাগাতা" is the most direct and sometimes "ইউরি নাগাতা (Yuri)" or even "উরুই নাগাতা" (Urui) or "অরিউ নাগাতা" (Airu) and others, but they most often shorten it to "উরু নাগাতা" (Uru instead of Uryu). I haven't dug through, but there's much coverage there, especially his recent departure back to Japan with the suspension of league play. Nfitz (talk) 16:04, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 16:33, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete we have way too loose a criteria for footballer notability to ever let any article stand that does not meet it. I still think we need a stricter criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
