Per Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_135#The_criteria_of_SPORT_here_are_too_inclusive|this discussion, subject-specific |notability guidelines do not supersede the |general notability guideline, except in clear cases which |GNG does not apply to. ''As it is the single most recent consensus on the notability of sport bios'' to my knowledge, I feel obliged to go with the result of the discussion: '''NSPORTS does not supersede GNG'''. This really does need to be reflected on sport guideline pages, though, as this can seriously mislead people. Plainly no extensive and proper article can be written about him as he fails |GNG by a mile or two (unless someone can find some Russian-language references). Does meet FOOTY|NFOOTY as he has played in a fully-professional league per  but it is never going to be more than a permastub really. Note that there is an article on another Wikipedia (https://tg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BB_%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BD) but it is only referenced back to us and has nothing of value. Not really a redirect option here as a redirect to anything but something extremely vague (like Football in Russia) would be misleading
