Van Zeller played 84 mins of professional football before a brief career at the semi-pro level. I can't find any WP:SIGCOV. The closest that I could find was a squad list mention at Espinho TV. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Delete: Sources do not seem to be findable and the current article is only sourced to databases, and also doesn't really say anything. Oddly enough, there's an identically named man on the portuguese Wikipedia who is entirely unrelated here. Mrfoogles (talk) 15:55, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

I believe that there is also a Dutch-Portuguese winemaking family with a guy with this name in it as well. Probably more notable than the footballer. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:01, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: I am unable to find anything approaching WP:SIGCOV for this footballer. JTtheOG (talk) 16:55, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
