A hoax European career, plus non-notable African career in non-professional league.

Delete – I cannot find any corroboration that Saveljič ever set foot on the pitch for any
WP:FPL apart from
here, and I find it especially odd that he did not appear in the starting XI only once in his career. The number of sources is greatly inflated, as there are only four unique sources, and one of them (#14) doesn't even deal with this person or even association football. The source website for #2-12 doesn't seem very reliable as it only lists two players for the
2003–04 HNK Rijeka squad, and
worldfootball.net does not verify that Saveljič was ever actually signed with any of the clubs in an FPL, much less on the pitch for them. Therefore, I cannot find any support that he meets
WP:NFOOTY, and even if all the sources were reliable, it is all routine coverage, thus
WP:GNG is also failed. —

delete There's a person who puts massive amount of time into this hoax for several years now. At some point he had profiles on weltfussball.de and playerhistory.com. Now he accomplished the same with
transfermarkt.de, though after reporting the profile they will delete it in the near future.. But you will never find actual news reports on football sites or his name in line-ups. For "his time" on the Cape Verdes please also see
Cape Verde Islands 2009 - Match Details. --

And that's only part of the reason those sources are considered non-reliable. —

delete There is no any independent reliable news about this player to claim notability. Fails

Comment: much meat/sock vandalism & edit-warring
going on there; I bet a swung flyswatter would splat at least three with one blow.

Delete - fails
WP:GNG and
WP:NFOOTBALL, notwithstanding the strong likelihood that this is a hoax.

Delete - apparent hoax with no reliable sources to verify the claimed appearances in fully-pro leagues.

Delete - Player fails
WP:NFOOTY as has not played in a
fully professional league, nor senior international football. No indication of any other achievements that have garnered sufficient, significant coverage to satisfy
WP:GNG. Would also salt due to hoax concerns which appear justified.

I concur with SALTing this article. However, we must remain vigilant regarding the multiple alternate spellings possible. —

If an uninvolved admin invokes
WP:SNOW, then the debate can be closed early. Otherwise, the process needs to play out for at least seven days. —
