Deletion of Fábio Pereira da Silva (2nd nomination)

Comment: Many of the keep !votes are based on there being a couple of newspaper reports about his transfer to Man U, and therefore this automatically guarantees notability, so here's a few quotes from  which I think are pertinent here

Comment: WP:ATHLETE is part of , which clearly states that "Should a person fail to meet these additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability." Thus while WP:ATHLETE is sufficient for inclusion, it is not necessary - meeting our general notability standard is also sufficient. With seven independent sources in the article, all of which deal substantively with the player, it seems to me beyond question that this player meets our notability standards - indeed, he does so better than players who have broken into professional first teams such as David Gray (footballer) and Ben Amos. It would be a perverse bit of logic to say that these players, who have made scattered appearances and been the subject of minimal press coverage, are notable because they meet WP:ATHLETE, whereas Fabio da Silva, a player who does not need the wider standards offered by WP:ATHLETE to pass our notability standards, should not be covered

Comment: Playing/scoring in an Under-17 tournament does not confer notability. Any assumption that he might not retire from football without playing professionally is a violation of

Comment: first of all, Wikipedia is not a big container for the information ''you'' want, but for the information that are deemed to be worthwhile of being included in an ''encyclopedia'' (yes, we're talking about an encyclopedia). The guy we are talking about, then, he has not played a single minute with the team he is contracted with, so he is being paid by his employer for doing nothing at all. Then, any definition like "he'll play a game, sooner or later" is an obvious violation of  (we cannot predict the future, we have no supernatural powers in the end). Someone might argue the  rule is "weird", because it implicitly says that playing a minute in a Lega Pro Seconda Divisione or Football League Two game is more notable than being the Brazil Under17 topscorer: first, this reminds me of , and secondly, it is a issue to be debated in Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)|the right Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football|places rather than here. Personally I think Filippo Mancini (20 minutes in a Coppa Italia game before to disappear from the Italian sourcemakers) is even less notable than Fabio da Silva, with both of them being in any case non-notable to have a Wikipedia article, but this is just my opinion

Comment: Fails  as he has yet to make his first team appearance, and fails  as he has acheived nothing of note so far in his career. Simply being named in a squad isn't enough to establish notability - a number of other players in a similar situation have come to AfD, and (as far as I remember) they have been deleted, and there's no reason why this article  should be treated differently simply because he plays for Man U. Delete this article, then recreate it if and when he makes his debut

Comment: meets  and per Kie, why delete an article that is only going to be recreated a short time from now anyway, once he does finally step onto the field? He's already signed on to a professional team, he stood out at an international youth competition, he's got media coverage in mainstream sources, people have heard of him and his brother and will want to know more about him once he finally does start playing.
