Though this article techinically meets WP:NFOOTBALL, this is only because of two appearances about two years ago in the Romanian Liga I and the Romanian Cup. He has done nothing since, and pretty clearly fails general notability. Google search produces only the usual player profiles. In my opinion, this article pretty clearly falls under the part of WP:NSPORT. the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. (emphasis theirs).

Furthermore, the article maybe eligible for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G5. The article was created by a sockpuppet in violation of a block. The only edit in the two years since, that wasn't just formatting, was one that updated the lede and infobox to show that he had left Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ, and removed the squad template. This does not constitute substantial editing in my opinion. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:47, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Players career seems to have reached a professional hiatus. Nothing to suggest GNG. No problems recreating if he moves to another club in an FPL and starts playing regularly. At the moment he has played a grand total of 9 mins of FPL football per Soccerway and that some time ago. Fenix down (talk) 07:27, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - fails WP:GNG, which is more important than him technically passing WP:NFOOTBALL. Some WP:COMMONSENSE is needed here, and plenty of AFD precedent exists to say that barely passing NFOOTBALL is not enough when you fail GNG, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oscar Otazu, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aleksandr Salimov, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Semenchuk, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Artyom Dubovsky, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmos Munegabe, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marios Antoniades, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Sinclair (footballer born 1991) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer (2nd nomination) amongst others.
