[edit] Giuseppe Alessi

Serie B player, who never appeared in a Serie A game. [1] Angelo 14:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable athlete. Hello32020 14:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Serie B is a fully professional league, even Juventus are in it this season. Players at that level easily pass my bar of notability. - fchd 21:10, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - If the bar of notability for players in the English league system incorporates level four players, it clearly extends to Serie B and probably Serie C1 as well. It would be rather Anglo-centric to delete Serie B player articles and keep hundreds of articles about players playing at a lower standard in England. --Balerion 02:25, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. No reason whatsoever for deletion. Professional footballer in a major professional league. -- Necrothesp 02:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Serie B has to count if lower divisions of other nations count. And this guy has played nine years at that level, so I am sure he is notable enough. Montco 03:25, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't see anything wrong with this if players from lower divisions in England are allowed as Balerion mentioned. CanbekEsen 06:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, Serie B is a professional league, and hence WP:BIO states that this article is notable:

  Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activites that are themselves considered notable [are considered notable for Wikipedia]. -WP:BIO

  No doubt in my mind this player meets that criteria. Daniel.Bryant 09:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Punkmorten 10:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - he's a professional who's played 100+ first-team games. Notable enough for me. Qwghlm 13:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - Professional footballer in a professional league in Europe. --90.192.92.188 04:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Never played for Serie A, and much of hios career spent on C1. Too many of these player. Matt86hk talk 09:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • There's "many" of these types of articles because they're allowable per WP:BIO. Daniel.Bryant 06:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
