His professional career lasted between 29 and 264 minutes and he disappeared in 2016. Regarding secondary sources, all I found were transfer announcements like this one. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 19:07, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The article is poor. Pl stat site has a bit more info and links to some news about him [1] although many seem to be pretty much press releases. He never scored a goal, it seems, although he was on the his team when it won the Polish Cup, which may or may not count for something. I am not motivated to AfD at pl wiki because I expect sport fans there will just shout notable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. "lasted between 29 and 264 minutes" is a very weird and also misleading phrasing. Probably did not win the Polish Cup, though, as he did not play any cup matches (ever) for Jagiellonia, and on the day of the cup final he played for Znicz Pruszków against Warta Poznań.

Indeed, for what it's worth, the I liga is fully professional as well so his professional career actually lasted for 1897 minutes at least, if Soccerway is to be believed. This is probably a similar case to Richárd Csepregi where his career would likely indicate that he has some significant coverage but proving it is another matter.

Delete - I created this article in 2007 under the deprecated NSPORTS guideline (before I realized SIGCOV was required). While the nominator is mistaken to rely on soccerway.com to characterize his playing career (which misses the 2007–08 Ekstraklasa season where Falkowski made 17 appearances for Jagiellonia), it is correct to say it was non-notable because I can only find routine coverage in online Polish-language sources (match reports, injury and transfer announcements). I would have expected better online coverage from 2007 and 2008, or at least following the end of his Jagiellonia career in 2010, but I'm not seeing anything that is SIGCOV.

For match reports, as long as those only focus on a specific footballer and describes them in significant detail (e.g. "[Footballer] was happy after [Club] debut as a tribute to [his/her] lost family member ..."), that might be fine. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 16:57, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, but what I found were brief mentions such as being named in the starting XI or making a substitute's appearance. I didn't see anything other than routine coverage. Jogurney (talk) 17:53, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Per all above. Svartner (talk) 04:20, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
