Article about former footballer which fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. The only online English and Polish-language coverage is trivial, such as transfer/firing announcements and entries in statistical databases. PROD was contested without providing any evidence of WP:SIGCOV. Jogurney (talk) 14:37, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep passes GNG IMO with articles such as this, and and this.

  I'm afraid the first link is an interview from his former employer (not typically viewed as independent of the subject) and the second is a just a single name-drop (the only thing the article says about him is that he played for Radomiak Radom in 1995 - that's it). Neither counts towards meeting the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 18:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no evidence of notability. Gol24 source good, but not sufficient on its own. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, he has a quite prolonged career in management. Though being assistant to Joey Antipas, Matore has got attention for managing Chicken Inn to its first league title and subsequently being signed to coach in the far more wealthy South African league. News coverage include both significant and passing mentions which is a lot to dig through. This is one of the better ones. Geschichte (talk) 14:56, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete. While the B-Metro source is slightly better than the usual crud offered (Q&A interview from the guy's own team, a single namedrop), it's entirely on either the coaching pair (or trio) or the club itself, there is nothing independent whatsoever that is directly about Matore.

• Keep - Per Geschichte and other users. I found 4 amount many many more spurces. In addition, he deifiently has additional offline coverage, having been a international capped player with extensive fully pro Polish tip flight and Zimbabwe top flight career in 1990s-early 2000s. Clearly is significant figure in Zimbabwean football in management and playing career with ongoing coach career. Article needs improvement, not deletion.

  That article has one sentence on Matore, the rest of it is direct quotes from him from what is clearly a press conference and a couple sentences on the team with no mention of Matore. As has been explained to you at least a dozen times, such sources do not contribute to GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 02:01, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Alvaldi (talk) 21:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
