No evidence of notability found, source is database only, Prod removed with statement that he received a yellow card for Kaunas which is not really adressing the issue at hand. A search didn't immediately provide better sources, but perhaps with different search terms better results can be had. Article in any case needs thorough cleanup, stating that he "plays" for a club which folded in 2012 is slightly outdated at best. Fram (talk) 10:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Per lack of WP:SIGCOV. The player's career is mostly unknown (ogol.com, Soccerway). Svartner (talk) 16:46, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fram:. It just means you should point out Rogério, as a footballer, pass this or not: Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability or Wikipedia:Notability (sports). I simply don't have time to check Kaunas was a fully professional team or not, but at least some indication he has played for that league. While for SIGCOV, a lot of footballer even played in fully professional team in fully professional league, don't have SIGCOV. Matthew hk (talk) 04:26, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
About two years ago, the "played in a professional league = automatically notable" rule has been rejected at an RFC, and football players now need SIGCOV to be kept. Fram (talk) 07:06, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment inb4 Transfermarkt is user generated, but they're usually comprehensive on things, and they say he retired in 2009 after three games for Kaunas. If anyone knows enough about Lithuanian data to verify this, the bloke is not notable at all. Unknown Temptation (talk) 23:08, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
