Speedy deletion per WP:G4 was declined on the grounds that he has now played in the Bosnian top flight. Given that this league is not fully pro playing in it does not confer notability per WP:NSPORT and he has not received sufficient coverage to pass WP:GNG.

Delete. Fails WP:NSOCCER. RomanSpa (talk) 05:13, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Certainly notable. Are we somehow saying that top flight football in Bosnia Herzegovina is somehow less worthy than top flight football in Ireland, Latvia or other countries of a similar size? Why did the nominator not just explain his/her reasons for wanting to delete the article instead of linking to lots of policies. Stop just quoting policies and use your brain instead!--ЗAНИA ^talk ^{WB talk}] 16:27, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Top flight players in Ireland and Latvia AREN'T notable. While this may well be an example of WP:BIAS, I'm afraid that's systemic around here. You either need to provide evidence that the league is fully professional, or significant media coverage of this particular player. Nfitz (talk) 20:54, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. You say "Stop just quoting policies and use your brain instead". Actually, the reason we use policies is because they are the result of many people's brains being used in careful thought: "policy" here means "stuff that a lot of smart people have thought about carefully". I agree that in this case the policy seems odd, but the best way to deal with this would be to seek to change the policy. RomanSpa (talk) 03:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A policy that some of us very much don't support, and would happily change - at least for countries like Ireland, Latvia, and Bosnia ... I'm not quite sold on the top league in the Pitcairn Islands ... Nfitz (talk) 19:41, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
