The only claim to notability of this player is a game played for Steaua in the League Cup (which is a secondary competition, not a fully professional league). The only source is a brief interview (that doesn't really count as detailed coverage in an independent reliable source) after that match. In the meantime, he was placed on loan to a second league team that plays in a non-fully professional league, so he has never played a single game in a fully pro league. - Andrei (talk) 14:01, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - was the Cup match for Steaua against another team from a fully-professional league? If so he could pass WP:NFOOTBALL, by playing in a competitive match between two clubs from FPLs. Giant Snowman 13:39, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Was the first-round (= last 16) of this season's Cupa Ligii, a Liga I-clubs-only league cup, which this season is being taken seriously, having previously been pre-season-friendlyish. So, an official compulsory competition between teams from a fully professional league. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:06, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - Since the winners of this "league cup" are not granted entry into the next season's Europa League, I am inclined to consider this more of a friendly competition, particularly given its sporadic timing in terms of the various rounds indicating it is meant to fit in around the pre-existing football calendar in Romania rather than be a true part of it. As such, even though the source in the article shows he played in a match between two fully professional teams, I am not convinced this competition carries that much weight. Maybe in time it will but for now, I do not think this player quite passes WP:NFOOTY let alone GNG. Fenix down (talk) 16:41, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Fenix down. Giant Snowman 13:09, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as he hasn't played in a fully professional league and he doesn't have any senior international caps. IJA (talk) 12:38, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
