The result was delete‎. It's not sufficient to say you did a Google search or write "Passes GNG". If you want this article to be Kept, you need to present specific sources that other editors can examine and verify. The fact that editors who have a lot of AFD experience are still relying on WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES is disappointing.

Declined PROD. Largely unsourced article on footballer with no evidence of notability. No sources found in my own search to satisfy WP:GNG. Mbdfar (talk) 00:35, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 15:28, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @GiantSnowman: some sourcing has been mentioned. Mbdfar (talk) 04:24, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  No sources have been presented. It's no good saying they exist. Giant Snowman 12:17, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Then I would consider changing your wording from "found" so you don't get erroneously pinged. Mbdfar (talk) 16:58, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A simple Google search showed several articles on reliable news media. I'm on the phone so I can't link them right now, but searching "Alfredo Rojas" "San Marcos de Arica" provides articles from La Tribuna, a newspaper from Biobío, and Soychile.cl, of El Mercurio, among many others, which in my opinion suffice to assert notability. Bedivere (talk) 15:35, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per Bedivere. Extensive pro career in professional Chilean football with may sources. Artilce needs imporvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 00:05, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It's not sufficient to simply do a Google search (or worse yet to rely on someone else's Google search) and base a claim of notability on seeing a number of hits. We actually need to review the sources, and when I did, I found them wanting. A La Tribuna article was the best source I could find which is a routine transfer announcement that includes more than just routine coverage of his career. This is not enough by itself to show compliance with the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 16:21, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. Someone needs to actually write and document this before it goes up on Wikipedia. As it is, it shouldn't be up. Llajwa (talk) 22:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 09:21, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
