Article's subject fails to meet WP:GNG. A search on GoogleNews produces no hits, a regular Google search shows pages of statistics but no substantive coverage. I have verified that there are no articles on him in either the Serbian or Serbo-Croatian Wikipedias. While he may appear to meet WP:NSPORT, he does not meet the the more-fundamental requirements of WP:GNG. KDS4444 Talk 08:50, 29 June 2014 (UTC) reply

*Keep - Sources indicate that the individual has played in a fully professional league and so passes WP:NFOOTY. Article needs expanding not deleting. Per current consensus, players who have played in a fully professional league are assumed notable. Presence or lack thereof on Serbian WP or any other Wiki is not relevant. Fenix down ( talk) 11:42, 30 June 2014 (UTC) Actually, not sure he has played in an FPL. Fenix down ( talk) 11:50, 30 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - It was my understanding that the policies outlined in WP:NFOOTY and WP:NFOOTBALL, both under the heading of WP:NSPORTS, were only intended as useful guidelines, rules of thumb, and that WP:GNG still had to be met to justify a full article. This article is over five years old now with no meaningful citations, and I was able to find no evidence of this individual showing promise of becoming notable in the future. As a permanent WP:SUBSTUB, then, it appeared to fall in the category of deletable articles. Please clarify for me. Thanks. KDS4444 Talk 21:48, 30 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - a quick Google search produced Serbian- and Russian-language coverage that is probably routine, but certainly more that just collections of statistics. He has played in the fully-pro Serbian SuperLiga, so I think it's quite likely someone who reads Serbian can produce more coverage that would pass the GNG. I've started to expand the article slightly, but it does need more work. Jogurney ( talk) 15:35, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply
