Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails
WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that the article may meet
WP:GNG.

Comment Thanks for listing here.

Keep - meets
WP:GNG with significant international coverage such as

Given how heavily the latter two draw on the text of the first of these sources, they can't really be considered independent of one another, and as stated above a single source is insufficient for notability.

That seems to be a bit of spin. It's not the same article reprinted. Each article is from a different country. They do both reference the first article, but they all seem independent. There are other references before the 442 article.
[4],
[5]. There's one very good source for
WP:GNG (the 442 article), and several borderline ones. Close enough ...

Comment - for what it's worth, Cools' team
Oud-Heverlee Leuven are currently playing playoffs for promotion to the Belgian Pro League, in case they won't make it, there are sources such as
[6] mentioning that the youngster will move to a bigger team. In any case it thus seems he'll play for a team in a fully professional league next season, very likely in Belgium. But that's guessing for now.
