The result was no consensus. This discussion has failed to establish whether A Lyga is fully pro. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC) reply
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 FK Tauras Tauragė is a fully pro league. I assume the word "in" is missing here. In any case, if the A Lyga is fully pro, I have not seen any sourcing thereof. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 16:14, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply
GNG is an alternative, NOT a prerequisite! Read WP:N - 'A topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets the general notability guideline below and is not excluded by WP:NOT. A topic is also presumed notable if it meets the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right.' As for the verifiability of the A-Lyga's professionalism, I agree it is cloudy, but I would personally err on the side of WP:IAR. The professionalism rule should weed out the truly insignificant top leagues - the Welsh, Sammarinese or Maltese for instance - but shouldn't be used as a stick to beat the borderline cases with.
