Contested PROD. Concner was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he had played in the Bosnian Premier. However, as this league is not fully pro, so the fact that he has played there does not grant notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:09, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but is he a professional player now at Zrinjski or is he not? If he is, WP:FOOTYN says he's automatically sufficiently notable. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:18, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- FOOTYN is an essay that carries little, if any, weight. Best to see if the guy passes WP:NFOOTY or not (and yes, it's easy to get those two mixed up :). Jenks24 (talk) 15:24, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh, sorry. I found it linked from the WikiProject's main page, so you might wish to fix that whole thing. In any case, I googled and found these two sources [1] [2] (in Croatian) which seem to say he signed a four-year contract with the club. The exact nature of the contract isn't explained, but it seems implicit from the context that they're talking about a professional player contract. This article [3] says Adnan Hadžić bi trebao biti prvi izbor među vratnicama i sljedeće sezone, meaning he was the club's first goalkeeper for a whole season. All this seems to indicate he meets the (admittedly low) threshold on football players that I've seen applied elsewhere on en:. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:26, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - we don't use FOOTYN for player notability; in fact, we hardly even use it for any notability. This player fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, non-notable. Giant Snowman 15:27, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
