Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roger Rojas (footballer, born 1993)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The challenge is that the subject does not meet GNG. The 'keep' arguments do not sufficiently counter that. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:02, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another (former?) player who seemingly fails WP:GNG due to lack of reliable independent sources covering the subject in detail. All I could find was just a handful of passing references about him, mostly covering his stats or just a couple of his transfers without digging into any further detail [1] and his footballing career is apparently limited to seven professional games in the minor leagues.

Keep - Notable, Plays or has played for Paraguayan a top level league team.--PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 16:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please bring sources to your claims. According to those very few sources I could find, he has never played in the Paraguayan top flight, just two minor teams. Plus, WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG are not based on the footballer's league of playing. --Angelo (talk) 18:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He's currently a player for s Paraguayan top flight team, however has sat on the bench for the entire matches he was part of so far. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 19:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which team? Could you please provide sources to support your claims? The most recent news regarding this player are dated 2019, zero appearances for a minor league Paraguayan team: [2] --Angelo (talk) 20:06, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The source that is referenced in the article shows that he appeared in 2 matches of Deportivo Capiatá as a benchwarmer. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 21:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Angelo.romano:, this shows he made 5 appearances in the fully pro Paraguay top flight as well as an appearance in the Italian Serie B which is regarded as one of the best second tiers in the world. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 04:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As said above, having played in a fully professional league of any kind does not establish notability per se. --Angelo (talk) 07:37, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 17:57, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not pass our notability guidelines. Bruxton (talk) 23:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per @PiccklePiclePikel:. I found sources like [3] and many many other sources. He has an ongoing extensive professional career. I look at the other Sports WikiProjects (or any WikiProject) and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 30. By the time I finish writing this, another 30 will probably be deleted. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 04:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The fact it is ongoing is simply wrong. He has apparently retired, since he has disappeared from the public eye since 2019. Extensive I wouldn't say either - seven first team appearances in five years... --Angelo (talk) 07:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article about footballer who had a brief professional career and wasn't the subject of SIGCOV. I can only find (and the ones posted above are) trivial mentions online. Fails WP:GNG. Jogurney (talk) 13:34, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
