[edit] Pedro Delgado (footballer)

Pedro Delgado (footballer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:BIO and WP:NOTABILITY. Did he ever play? Do sources confirm this? I searched his name and found only one thing out, the name Pedro Delgado is a common name. I never found any notable facts about the footballer. Undeath (talk) 16:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The Carrick Rangers website lists a player with that name, but they're not a Premiership team, so he hasn't played at the highest level in his sport. Therefore he fails WP:BIO. I'll change my vote if I'm wrong about the level of his club. Pburka (talk) 17:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Conditional keep. he has apparently played at higher levels [1] [2] so if this can be developed and the article improved then keep, although if it cannot be done then delete. Keresaspa (talk) 17:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - assuming the links found by Keresaspa are accurate, and he's played in Copa Libertadores, he's certainly notable. matt91486 (talk) 23:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
    Here are some other sources that indicate notability: He played in Intertoto with Dungannon as seen here. And he appears in a scoresheet for Deportivo Táchira Fútbol Club from RSSSF right here.
    Also, people don't necessarily have to play in the premiership to be notable. It depends on how many divisions of football are professional in a country. But, in this case, these things all combined, I'd say he's definitely notable. matt91486 (talk) 23:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Article satisfies WP:BIO since he has played for Tachira in the Venezuelan professional league. Jogurney (talk) 22:55, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Conditional keep. If he has played for Tachira (which I could not yet confirm). All I find is the Vinotinto article linked above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexf (talk • contribs) 13:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, This link shows that he did play for Tachira in the Copa Libertadores, on February 22, 2001 indicating that he has played at the highest possible level of club football in South America. King of the NorthEast 19:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
