Contested PROD. The player hasn't played at a senior international level. While the article credits him with two appearances for a club in his native Albania, which would qualify him per NFOOTY, I note that the "Soccerway" source indicates that these two appearances consisted of 0 minutes' actual playing time. Per NFOOTY, "played means having appeared in a match either in the starting line-up or coming on as a substitute", which he doesn't meet. The appearances for the Turkish club are not at the level required by that guideline. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 09:14, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Check well at his Soccerway matches he played also a full 90-minutes match, and then 32 minutes as a substitute. Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk) 10:10, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Soccer way indicates he was involved in three national cup /league matches:

1. Flamurtari Vlore - an unused sub, does not count towards NFOOTY
2. Sopoti Liberazhd - not a cup game involving two teams from fully professional leagues, does not count towards NFOOTY
3. Tomori Berat - not a cup game involving two teams from fully professional leagues, does not count towards NFOOTY

• Keep - Passes NFOOTY, has played senior international football, in a fully professional league or in a match in the competition proper (i.e. not qualifying rounds) of a cup competition which involved two teams both from FPLs. Didn't see there were two groups in the first division, so thought they were lower league teams. Apologies. Fenix down (talk) 15:20, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:NFOOTY per the excellent work by Fenix down. Smartyllama (talk) 13:02, 14 June 2017 (UTC) (Revised !vote below per information from Eni.Sukthi.Durres) Smartyllama (talk) 14:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The player is full professional because he has played two matches in the Albanian Cup 2015–16 season for Skënderbeu Korçë (2015–16 Albanian Superliga team) against two (2015–16 Albanian First Division teams) Tomori Berat and Sopoti Librazhd. Both Albanian Superliga and Albanian First Division are full professional leagues, so you can verify, thank you. Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk) 14:09, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good catch. Those are teams in Fully Professional Leagues. I'm not sure why Fenix thinks they weren't. I'm striking my !vote above and revising it below. I would encourage Fenix down to do the same. Smartyllama (talk) 14:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Actually does pass WP:NFOOTY, as he played in two cup matches between teams from fully professional leagues. Smartyllama (talk) 14:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
