He has never played in any fully professional league (Cyprus is semi-professional) as it is written in WP:BIO and has never played for any national team --20:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC) KRBN

  • Keep plays for a notable team Giggy UCP 21:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. He is playing for APOEL FC, a team described as being the "the most successful football team in the country." He is pllaying in the top flight of Cyprus and a current member of the APOEL squad, at number 11. How much more notable can he be? ♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 22:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep per above. He's in a major league in Cyprus, which means he's in a notable, top team. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 23:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, since the league of Cyprus is not strong, its players are not automatically notable. Punkmorten 08:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - regular in Cypriot top division, which is rated higher than the likes of Swedish and Slovenian Leagues by UEFA coefficient. - fchd 12:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. International encyclopedia and all that. —Xezbeth 21:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - a profesional playing for one of the biggest teams in Cyprus. GiantSnowman 19:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Leans towards keep as he plays for the Cypriot champions but the article does need more content, it cannot be described as encyclopedic as it is now. Suggest that Cyp2nv be invited to build up the article. Failing this, the few words could be placed in the APOEL FC article. Team players could have a single line of biographical info, for example, if there is not enough for a separate article. --Malcolmxl5 20:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - WP:BIO says clearly for fully professional league and the cypriot one is not fully proffesional. The claim about being better than slovenian, slovenian one is weak either.

If this article will be kept, then why articles like this were deleted, which is again for one of the most successfull teams in Cyprus in basketball?--KRBN 22:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

The general mindset on AfD fluctuates from time-to-time. Its impossible to correlate results even from a few months ago as the population and opinions of people here changes so much. —Xezbeth 09:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
It does not matter of how many people or what everyone believes but the claims for one article to be kept. And exactly similar article, which difference was that it was in basketball, was decided Delete. According to the rules for someone to be notable or not, I wonder why the one article was deleted and the other one will be decideddecided keep?--KRBN 15:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Has played at the highest level in Cyprus, even if it is not a fully-professional league. Jogurney 14:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
