Contested WP:PROD, Serbian footballer with no evidence of first team appearances in a fully professional league, thus failing WP:ATHLETE. Also possible conflict of interest, as apparently being created by the subject himself. Angelo (talk) 17:21, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The claim to notability in the article is 4 appearances for FK Balkan Bukovica. First of all with no reference this is unverifiable so delete. Second marginally meeting WP:Athlete should not mean that an individual is automatically included (per guideline WP:BIO). I would still vote delete if the 4 appearances were verified, this is because this individual appears to have not really made the grade and is now playing football for an arts college in Iowa (we have to draw the line somewhere, if they had even a half season for a pro team this would be fine). It appears that the individual clearly fails the general notability guideline. Polargeo (talk) 18:35, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - without getting into the question of players "marginally" meeting WP:ATHLETE, the Serbian club he is alleged to have played for doesn't actually play in a fully professional league anyway, so he wouldn't meet WP:ATHLETE even if his games for them could be confirmed -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: If he indeed did play for his respective international team, that would satisfy WP:ATH by him competing in a "World Championship." On the other hand, this article definitely needs to be expanded. GoCuse44 (talk) 03:16, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Cmt; Only claims (unreffed) to have played U-16 internationally which a) is not a recognised age group for international tournaments (U17,20 and 23 are) and b) age group caps by consensus (at WP:FOOTY?) generally do not imply notability for football.-- Club Oranje T 05:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:ATH, has not played at a fully-professional level. Youth tournaments do not confer notability. --Jimbo[online] 02:37, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Player does not pass the ATHLETE guideline due to not having played professionally or internationally. No significant coverage to confer notability either. -- Big  Dom  21:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
