I claimed in an earlier PROD that not one of the sources in the article backs up the facts in the article. It has been proved that one (possibly two) of the sources does back up the facts, but the rest are so vague that most of the article should be deleted just for being unsourced. The rest does nothing to suggest that this individual is notable, since he hasn't made a single competitive appearance for a fully professional club. His only appearances have been for non-league sides Bromley and Didcot, which don't play at a high enough level. – PeeJay 10:58, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

My : as per WP:NFOOTY, he plays at a fully professional team (FC Lugano, which hops on and off the Swiss first professional league tier) and has enough coverage (such as the Daily Mail), ergo my AfC accept. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 12:35, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Has he actually played for FC Lugano though? The club website suggests that he hasn't. Furthermore, FC Lugano doesn't play in a professional league, and I'm not actually sure the club itself is fully professional either. They haven't played in Switzerland's only fully professional league since 2002. – PeeJay 12:49, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Hasn't actually played in a FPL (per this), article shouldn't have been approved. GiantSnowman 14:04, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:00, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
