Challenged PROD, concern was "Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league." No indication that the player meets notability standards. C 679 13:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question Are the stats in the infobox correct? If he has played for Cruzeiro or Atalanta then he would meet the criteria. Number 5 7 14:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Stats and articles for Cruzeiro and Atalanta indicate he is or has been a player for these teams. Almost all drafted NFL players have a page whether they talk or not they ever play in a game this should be no different for Association Football. — Falerin^{<talk>,<contrib>} 15:14, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What happens re NFL players is totally irrelevant here. Number 57 15:17, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - My point is that if signed but not playing athletes in any sport are included they should be included in all of them. To do anything else reflects a systemic US Bias which is to be avoided on Wikipedia. — Falerin^{<talk>,<contrib>} 17:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No idea about the NFL comment; there is no indication this is a NFL player. Stats in the infobox for first two teams were not supported by any reference, I have updated the infobox to reflect this. C 679 18:07, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the stats for Cruzeiro and Atalanta were added without a reference after the article was PRODded [1]. C 679 18:10, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He is not. That was not the point; the point is what is good for the NFL is good for association football. I can see no coherent reason that different standards should be applied unless we are encouraging a US bias. I personally have no vested interest either way as I have little to no interest in athletics at all of any sort but I do have interest in avoiding systemic bias.— Falerin^{<talk>,<contrib>} 17:04, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's absolutely no reason to suggest that the NFL "policy" on Wikipedia is correct. This (association football) player hasn't made a significant impact in his profession and WP:NFOOTY specifically excludes players whose only "contribution" is sitting on the bench, which appears to be the case here.
