The last afd failed to reach consensus largely due to a lack of participation considering how long it was open. The underlying notability issues remain. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails
WP:NSPORT and
WP:GNG.

Liga Leumit, in which he has played 4 games, is listed at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues as a fully professional league. As long as it is, shouldn't this be a speedy keep? Even if it isn't, Greenberg has an unusual background and has received substantial coverage in the U.S. and Israel that (barely) passes GNG, as outlined in the first AfD. For what it's worth,
here is a recent interview with him on
Israel Sports Radio on Tel Aviv's
TLV1.--

The Liga Leumit entry at FPL specifically says that the league was only fully pro prior to the 2008/09 season. All of Mr. Greenbergs appearances in that league were after that, so they do not qualify under
WP:NSPORT.

As written, that date limitation appears to be applicable only to
Liga Artzit. Can you point to a discussion or source that applies it to
Liga Leumit? The cited sources both seem to refer to Liga Leumit as a professional league.--

The time restrictions were misplaced as the result of a poorly formatted edit which I have since undone. I'm having some trouble finding the original discussion, since it dates back about three and half years (
diff). I will of course post it here, if and when I find it.

Comment - I'm willing to reconsider because he may pass
WP:GNG, there may be significant coverage of him in Hebrew language media as well as the coverage of him in English language media but I can't tell at the moment and I'm not sure if it is simply routine.

Delete - Fails
WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a
fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy
GNG.
