Contested PROD, no consensus that Serbian First league is fully pro. Original rationale: Player does not seem to have played in a
fully professional league nor senior international football and so fails
WP:NFOOTY. no indication of any additional achievements that have garnered sufficient significant, reliable coverage to satisfy
WP:GNG.

Sir Sputnik: I don't see the Serbian league on
WP:FPL. Am I being totally blind or has it been removed in error? Happy to withdraw if it has been removed.

I missed that. The league probably is fully pro but without sources to confirm, we can't use that as a source of notability.

Give me some time, but I have never dealt really with that issue of league professionality, all I know is that the top league of Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro/Serbia is professional since the 1970s.

Pardon me, the league was fully-professionalised in 1967 (source: "Moving with the Ball" by Pierre Lanfranchi and Matthew Taylor, pag. 119) and I beleave ever since that was not changed. But I´ll try to get a source for current state of the league. Any help is also welcomed.

This is the document every player of SuperLiga needs to have, it is called "Professional contract" and within it includes the "point 2" where it has a place for including the players wage. (here is the
Professional contract). Is this OK?

There is a Serbian/English version (
here) however it doesn´t include a spot for adding players salary as the "only Serbian" version, which I posted above, does, but here it clearly says "Professional players contract" and every player needs to have one.

It looks good, but unless I'm missing something the source doesn't actually say that all players are required to have such a contract. If you can source that we're all set.

Hum, I see. That document is under a section (in the left column) which translated means "Contracts and documents regarding registration", and I already read that all players need to be registered (only registered players can play). I´ll try to find where I read that, it was somewhere in the documents regarding league regulations. Another question is that seems that same applies for the
Serbian First League (second tier) as well. There are 2 contracts: the professional and another one for
scholarship (which I am certain that is for players under 17, but I´ll try to bring where it says that). In the only Serbian version of the scholarship contract (
here) under Члaн 2. the first empty space is for adding the players salary.

Keep - We have always considered Serbian Superleague fully professional. It looks as though someone deleted this from
WP:FPL without any discussion whatsoever in Talk. Looking at the
league regulations it's quite clear that all the players must be licenced, with various quotas.

Nfitz: - I removed the Serbian SuperLiga from FPL as I have already said. There was a discussion that the only source present was not reliable, some leagues were then removed but others (including Serbuia) were missed. They have all since been removed.

Keep - the Serbian SuperLiga appears to be a
WP:FPL from the sources present here, so the player meets
WP:NFOOTBALL.

Keep - Happy to withdraw the nomination based on the sourcing above.
