Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG, as Bunjaki has never made a senior appearance, and his two appearances for Kosovo were non-FIFA matches (tier 2), as Kosovo is not a member of either FIFA or UEFA. A similar discussion involving a player making appearances for Kosovo can be seen at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alban Bunjaku (3rd nomination).

  • Comment Since he played two international games for Kosovo I created this article, but however you guys know better than me, so if you agree each other to delete this article I'm not against you. Thank you. Eni.Sukthi.Durres ( talk) 19:26, 16 April 2016 (UTC) reply
The issue is that Kosovo is not a FIFA member, which then means he does not pass WP:NFOOTBALL. He even is playing for the German U19s, which is allowed due to the fact he did not actually make a FIFA-recognized international appearance in a Tier 1 match.

@ Secret Agent Julio: Let me tell you something. It's such as a professional footballer which has played for a professional club against another one, even if the match has to be for a domestic cup. That's the case of subject, he has played against Senegal a fully recognized national team, plus this match was permitted by FIFA. I mean so he hasn't played against a unrecognized national team such as Northern Cyprus, Vatican, etc. Thank you. Eni.Sukthi.Durres ( talk) 08:35, 17 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - subject has already made two senior international appearances, thus satisfying WP:FOOTY. Subject is also only 18 and will probably only contine to make more appearances, but even if he doesn't he still satisfies the general notability requirements.

WP:NFOOTBALL explicitly says that it only covers tier 1 international matches, meaning Kosovo's matches as a non-FIFA member do not qualify. More importnatnly, he has not received sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Secret Agent Julio ( talk) 09:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - two internationals for Kosovo, which has applied for FIFA membership - [1]. There's no reason they wouldn't be admitted, other than bias by some of their neighbours. Nfitz ( talk) 19:09, 17 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Still does not change the fact that the matches he participated in for Kosovo thus far were not tier 1, which are the only tier notable per WP:NFOOTBALL. Secret Agent Julio ( talk) 09:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC) reply
We can't simply apply the rules, when the only reason Kosovo matches aren't fully recognized is because of the political machinations of those who seek to occupy the country. Nfitz ( talk) 02:23, 20 April 2016 (UTC) reply
I would argue the exact opposite is true. We should not be ignoring the rule, simply because we don't like politics of the situation. Considering FIFA membership would mean access to World and Euro Cup qualifiers on one hand, and respect for stricter sanctioning requirements on the other, there is a very real difference between tiers 1 tier 2, and WP:NFOOTBALL is acknowledgement of that.

  • Keep - Kosovo gained the rights from FIFA to play international friendly matches, and Bunjaki has played two. -- Sadsadas ( talk) 22:51, 18 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - He has not played in a fully professional league, or in a tier 1 international match meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT. More importantly, the subject has received insufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 13:25, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply
