Comment: Might only just meet , but if it passes the guideline, then it passes the guideline.  As GiantSnowman stated in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spencer Thompson|first AFD, "The article needs improving, not deleting".  And I would ask the closing admin to consider that nothing has changed since the last AfD, in which there was consensus for the article to be kept, on the grounds of the subject passing

Comment: one appearances a number years ago (to ''technically'' meet ) is not enough when he comprehensively fails . Some  is needed here, and plenty of AFD precedent exists to say that barely passing NFOOTBALL is not enough when you fail GNG, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oscar Otazu, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aleksandr Salimov, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Semenchuk, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Artyom Dubovsky, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmos Munegabe, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marios Antoniades, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Sinclair (footballer born 1991), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matheus Eccard, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metodija Stepanovski, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linas Klimavičius, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Takumi Ogawa, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicky Fish (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Nițu and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stefan Ginchev, amongst others

Comment: Per GS and per : ''the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.'' This is an individual who made one appearance in a cup game featuring two |fully professional teams over four years ago. He has since not played at anywhere near the level required by . The techincal pass of a subject specific guideline does not trump GNG. This player is not generally notable since the field in which he claims notability is one in which he has actually done very little

Comment: Request for clarification, actually.  Can someone explain how he passes ?  I understand it used to have a bullet point contained which said something to the effect of "a competitive match between two professional teams", meaning a lot of US Open Cup matches would count towards notability, however that is no longer present.  For me, "Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable" coupled with "For the purposes of this guideline, played means having appeared in a match either in the starting line-up or coming on as a substitute" shows that he fails .  I'd love some clarification here
