Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. Soccerway confirms he's played for NK Zvijezda Gradačac of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina but per WP:FPL that's not fully professional; all other clubs he's played for compete at very low tiers. Sideways713 (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If transfermarkt is to be believed (see here), he made 29 appearances in the Slovenian First League, which is listed at WP:FPL, in 2007/08. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:54, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, thanks for spotting that. That team has sunk rapidly. I'm still not sure he meets WP:GNG but for now I'll withdraw the nomination and give the creator some time to find reliable sources. Sideways713 (talk) 17:05, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Slovenian top league really fully professional, though? The source given at WP:FPL keeps mentioning amateur players, but my Slovenian isn't too good... Sideways713 (talk) 17:21, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. So two issues here - did he actually play? And is the league fully-professional or not? Giant Snowman 19:32, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Here it is stated that "If a player has signed a contract with a club and his salary is at least 500€ per month, he is counted as professional". According to PrvaLiga official website, he played 29 matches for Livar in 2007–08, so Transfermarkt stats are correct. Matej1234 (talk) 11:34, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That indicates that there are players in the league who earn less that €500 per month, and are not considered professional. Therefore the league is not [[WP:FPL|fully-professional. Giant Snowman 14:45, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 14:45, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sorry, mis-read the above, does indeed appear to meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 12:33, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Actually, that source does not mention anything about First division amateur players, thing about 500€ salaries is meant for ALL leagues which are operated by the Football Association of Slovenia, as this are general Slovenian football competition rules and not Slovenian PrvaLiga rules.

Keep - 29 matches in a fully pro league makes him pass WP:NFOOTY. Discussions on whether the Slovenian top league is a fully pro league should be taken on WT:FPL. That this topic does not pass GNG is hard to measure without local-language sources, but with 29 matches in a fully pro league we presume that the player in question has received enough coverage in reliable sources to pass the general notability guideline.
