Valentin Vada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Player has only played for youth teams so far. He lacks notability. Jaellee (talk) 22:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:37, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

There are over 483.000 results when you google Vada's name and you carry on asserting he hasn't received "significant coverage". So I am asking, what does "significant coverage" means exactly? To what extend "significant coverage" would reach an acceptable level in your opinion? Let's take another example. Nicolas Maurice-Belay, a player from Bordeaux has half the google results (287.000) as Valentin Vada. But he plays on a professional level in the first team, and has received less media coverage than Vada. And Nicolas M-Belay gets an english Wikipedia page.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedropunky (talk • contribs) 08:07, 15 May 2013‎ (UTC)
 * Delete - Although he seems to have signed for a Ligue 1 team, he isn't listed as a player on the FC Girondins de Bordeaux page and the article says he is still playing U19 - which fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Gbawden (talk) 12:30, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 18:32, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - the article is about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means the subject fails WP:NFOOTY. As there is not enough in-depth coverage in reliable source, the subject also fails WP:GNG. The only coverage I found online was about him signing for the club, which is not enough.

Pedropunky Pedropunky (talk) 10:04, 18 May 2013 (UTC)He might not be listed on the Girondins de Bordeaux Wikipedia page, but he sure is listed on their official website... There also has been a large coverage in the french medias on the player (google.fr), due to the administrative case between the player and the FIFA, who considered the player too young (under 18) to play in Europe, despite him holding an Italian passport. THe matter has been resolved, but before his signature, the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona or Man Utd claimed through agents to be able to sign the player in 2 days. See http://keirradnedge.com/2011/10/29/bordeaux-take-on-fifa-at-cas-over-starlet-vada/ Plus there is a huge difference between the french media coverage on this issue and the english speaking media coverage.. No wonder you want to delete this page... I am gonna make a french wikipedia page instead which will surely get me less problems.Pedropunky (talk) 10:04, 18 May 2013 (UTC) Pedropunky
