Non-notable footballer; fails WP:GNG and barely passes WP:NFOOTY, having played for five minutes in just one game that meets the criteria.

See source assessment table for a review of all coverage, either in the article or identifiable through a news search.

• Keep - He passes NFOOTY, and there is generally more leniency over GNG for players active in their careers. I would argue the Ajansspor reference contributes towards GNG - the argument made that it is not independent is moot as it's an interview, and its an RS and constitutes SIGCOV. We're probably shy of a second reference which would be nice, but there is consensus for active players to be given more leniency at AfD - see Joakim Balmy, Shinji Yamada, Mikołaj Kwietniewski.

  • It could be considered SIGCOV, but what WP:GNG requires is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"; an article that consists only of direct quotes is not "independent of the subject". And he passes WP:NFOOTY by playing for five minutes in a single tier four game; it's not a strong argument. BilledMammal (talk) 10:35, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep passes NFOOTY, and has an active career in a league that gets significant attention.--Ortizesp (talk) 01:19, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per WP:NSPORT, the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline. Further, WP:CRYSTAL applies to the prediction that he will receive coverage in the future. BilledMammal (talk) 01:25, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I disagree with the assessment in the source table. this, this, and this all count as WP:SIGCOV as they are articles that focus on the player. Meets WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. NemesisAT (talk) 11:38, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  The independent coverage for each of those sources can be summarized as:

  1. Kevser-Junior was signed for two years with Crawley Town, with an option for a third. He played briefly during Crawley's 4-0 defeat against Leyton Orient.
  2. Kevser-Junion was signed for two years with Crawley Town, with an option for a third. He was named as a substitute for the 5 October 2021 match against Leyton Orient.
  3. Kevser-Junion was signed for two years with Crawley Town, with an option for a third, after impressing the club during training practice. He played briefly during Crawley's 4-0 defeat against Leyton Orient.

  Two sentences, mostly basic information that is duplicated across each of the articles, is not WP:SIGCOV. BilledMammal (talk) 12:00, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I am confused, from what I see that's a very low bar towards WP:NFOOTBALL, I wasn't pass it. I don't really see GNG at this either. More WP:ROUTINE news if anything. Govvy (talk) 20:29, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per MA. Young player with ongoing career. GiantSnowman 11:06, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete routine and non-independent coverage is not the thing passing GNG is made of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:28, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Not only meets NFOOTBALL, also meets GNG with sources above. Poor nomination. Nfitz (talk) 19:42, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
