Kept at AfD in June 2009, despite the subject having not played in a fully professional league. This is still the case, meaning the article fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. First and foremost, this article fails WP:GNG. While the Albanian Superleague is included in WP:FPL, it's inclusion is disputed. The second and third sources are the same and confirm only that an organisation calling itself the "Professional League" consisting of the chairmen top league clubs and of the the Albanian FA. The first says nothing about professionalism whatsoever. There being insufficient verifiable evidence to confirm the Albanian Superleague as fully pro, we cannot assume that it is. As such this article fails WP:NSPORT as well. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:46, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I initially nominated this article for deletion years ago, but based on some work by Eldumpo and some additional research I just did, I think the article passes the GNG or comes close enough to keep the article while an Albanian-speaking editor cleans it up and adds references. A quick search of the sportishqiptar.com.al website shows that Hoxha gets a fair amount of coverage (ref #3 is dedicated to his career up to 2009). Jogurney (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - hasn't played in a pro league and not enough significant coverage, fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 21:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
