Recreation of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. This remains valid. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Still a player who has been a pro-football for already a year.

• Keep - my view, which is perhaps not consistent with the letter of the policies, is that a man who is a full-time professional soccer player for the top national competition, is notable within a significant community and therefore should be included. It is not necessary for him to be put on the field to achieve notability. - Richard Cavell (talk) 22:31, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant notability guideline, WP:NFOOTY, requires a footballer to have played (i.e. in an actual match) in a fully pro league to be considered notable. Something Takimoto has not done. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Richardcavell: - no, it is necessary for him to be on the field, that's the exact guideline... GiantSnowman 08:26, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 08:26, 10 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. Fenix down (talk) 12:34, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - fails NFOOTY Spiderone 06:56, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
