Article about former footballer (hasn't been with a club since last September) who made a single appearance for a club in the Russian FNL. Although that single appearance creates a presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL, it is invalid because the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG based on a search of online English- and Russian-language sources. The article was previously sent to AfD where it was kept on the (erroneous) view that his career had not ended and he might make further appearances in a fully-pro league. It's obvious now that his professional footballing career is over. Jogurney (talk) 17:29, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Passing WP:NFOOTBALL is irrelevant as WP:NSPORT clearly states that it does not supersede GNG and that all athletes must pass GNG, regardless of whether they pass a sports-specific notability guideline.

 * Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with one or two appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively, as is the case here. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 09:47, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - according to Crimean Sport, as of May 2021, he is playing for FC TSK Simferopol in the Crimean Premier League, which might explain why most football database websites show him as not having an active career. With that being said, other than the one interview that I have just linked to, I can't find any other worthwhile coverage so this doesn't look to be a GNG pass. If significant coverage other than that one interview is found, please ping me as I may change my vote. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep passes GNG and has an active career.--Ortizesp (talk) 12:52, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
