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 based on a misinterpretation of point 1 (national teams) of
WP:NFOOTBALL. This point refers to the highest of level football internationally, which the Meistriiliga certainly is not.

Comment Assuming no other evidence of notability shows up, this decision should be either an obvious keep or obvious delete based on the historical interpretation of
WP:NFOOTY, particularly its interpretation in recent Wiki-history. I do not know what that interpretation is, but the good folks at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Football probably do.

Delete - Per nom, Estonian top league is not fully professional and youth international appearances are, by consensus, not sufficient to fulfill NFOOTY requirement of international appearances, these need to be senior.

Players, managers and referees who have represented their country in any FIFA sanctioned senior international match (including the Olympics) are notable as they have achieved the status of participating at the highest level of football.
To sum it up, he has played for Meistriliiga, which is the highest division and satisfies the requirement as playing for the highest level in his area. NFOOTY does not say the team has to be fully professional although players in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable.

Delete - For your information Technical 13,
Meistriliiga is not a
fully pro league so the player fails
WP:NFOOTBALL. More importantly he hasn't received significant coverage so he fails
WP:GNG. –

Delete - The
Meistriliiga isn't a
fully pro league, and since the player in question hasn't represented his country at senior level either, he fails
WP:NFOOTY. Also fails
WP:GNG, as he hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources.
