 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There has been minimal participation in this AfD, but this is a clear NFOOTY failure and nothing has been presented to indicate GNG, so I am comfortable that this is a non-notable individual. Fenix down (talk) 21:51, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Draftified earlier this week but recreated in main space. Subject definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL but I suppose the debate is whether or not he passes WP:GNG. No WP:SIGCOV cited in the article and searches mostly come back with passing mentions and 'hype' articles on Liverpool-affiliated websites like This is Anfield and Rousing the Kop. Some coverage in The Irish Sun and Irish Mirror but I would argue that it's below the GNG level.

No opposition to a 2nd draftification if that is the consensus from this. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep : I'm returning to Wiki after a long hiatus but I always believed the criteria was to play a professional match of football. St. Patrick's Ath and Shamrock Rovers are both professional teams in the League of Ireland. The head coach states this in post match interview which I have cited. He has also played two EFL trophy games for Liverpool and been on the bench for Champions League group stage games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilcock123 (talk • 15:34, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The guideline that you are referring to is WP:FOOTYN, which is no longer the guideline. It is WP:NFOOTBALL now (I can't remember when it changed), which requires a footballer to have played in a game between two clubs playing in a league listed at WP:FPL. Jaros has never played in such a game. The EFL trophy games don't count as they were U21 games, see Soccerway. Sitting on the bench doesn't satisfy NFOOTBALL either. Do you have evidence that he passes WP:GNG instead? In my view, this should have stayed in draft space. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 15:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I found two different newspaper sources claiming him to be the one to watch for St Patrick's this season. I'm not sure if they meet the guidelines? comment added by Kilcock123
 * This? I don't think it's enough on its own. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:46, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes that one, but also these two articles which name check him as one to watch this season - |A and this one https://extra.ie/2021/03/19/sport/soccernews/league-of-ireland-new-arrivals . comment added by Kilcock123 (talk • 18:47, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Since GNG, requires that Jaros be addressed directly and in detail, I would argue that those two references don't show significant coverage and, therefore, don't contribute towards GNG Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:48, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Where can I complain over the current guidelines? It is not fair on League of Ireland footballers who the vast majority are professional. The Irish government stated it is 'professional league' hence it was allowed under current government Covid 19 restrictions - https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40224776.html comment added by Kilcock123 (talk • 20:13,26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * WT:FPL and WT:NFOOTY are the best places Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:19, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 20:51, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I was the one who created the original article last month, after he'd made his senior debut for St. Pat's - I (mistakenly, it transpires) thought that as he'd played in a professional game between two professional sides that was enough. It turns out the League itself isn't fully professional, so I guess by that logic it should be merged with the existing draft of the article I created. However, I think it's worth saying that this seems to be a fairly daft metric for notability, and suggest it should be on the professional status of the club, not of the league.
