[edit] Massimiliano Tacchinardi

Brother of Alessio Tacchinardi, has played only two Serie A matches, and then a small number of very minor league presences. Since 1995, according to what I found, he definitely stopped playing (at least professional) football. Non-notability. Angelo 19:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Anyone who has played for one of the top few football clubs in Europe is notable. Carina22 20:34, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Alessio Tacchinardi, or, failing that, delete. Punkmorten 22:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as a (once) professional sportsperson. Unless you're going to delete Paul Mariner, Eric Gates, Mick Mills et al Jcuk 22:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Mariner played for England national team, Gates was a regular in a Premiership team (and nowadays a radio personality), Mills even captained England in a World Cup. This guy, who is not Alessio Tacchinardi, but just his brother, has just two appearances in a Serie A team, and nothing else. --Angelo 23:13, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Well, I should let you note that this player had just TWO Serie A appearances in his whole life before to leave professional football forever. If you think they could be enough, well, you must know that I am a (very) amateur football coach and, in my own past, I even led a couple of players with some experience in some Serie A youth teams, thus I could even feel myself authorized to make articles about these two guys. It is not enough to have played just a few minutes in a top team, according to me: even this guy, Gianluca Palmiteri, has played one match for Palermo (Serie A team), but I will never make an article about him, even if I am a big (and Sicilian) fan of Palermo. Merge it or delete it, just consider people who regularly played in a high-profile team. --Angelo 23:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
