Fails WP:SPORTCRIT. Really had no playing career and is only known as a football manager on the third and fourth tier in Russia. The Russian Second League might have been included in the old "professional league" list of WP:WPF. However it is very obvious that the Second League was not fully professional, consisting of 60 teams of varying strength. This would need multiple pieces of in-depth, secondary, independent coverage to pass the GNG bar. Geschichte (talk) 07:50, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SPORTCRIT Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:12, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody should use Football Database anymore per WP:WPFLINKSNO; there is a discussion regarding its deletion on Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 October 5#Template:FootballDatabase.eu. Even only one significant coverage provided is too weak to establish notability for any article, including Komissarov. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 16:21, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - the allegation of notability is as a manager, and based upon that, he's not notable. an article about his alleged career as a player would have to be written from scratch. It's possible that he was a 40-year-old rookie, but again, that's a new story. Bearian (talk) 14:44, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – The subject does not have enough news coverage. Fails WP:SPORTCRIT. Mysecretgarden (talk) 15:08, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
