Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abneet Bharti (2nd nomination)
per me in the last AfD. Fails  by not being the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources witha reputaton for editorial integrity independent both of each other ''and of the subject''.It's easy for http://www.dalessandroscouting.com/abneet-bharti.html a player's representative to get stuff into online media: that particular representative's website mentions media exposure on http://www.dalessandroscouting.com/about-us.html their about page. They also mention ''sportskeeda'', a self-publishing site, as one of the websites they use: the https://in.news.yahoo.com/indian-youth-footballer-abneet-bharti-114328694.html Yahoo Sports piece cited in the article is taken from and credited to ''sportskeeda''. The ''firstpost.com'' piece is a press release, and as such |explicitly not independent of the subject. The ''IB Times'' piece is highly derivative of it, and although that site may be reliable now, in 2014 it was largely a purveyor of high-volume clickbait.The mainstream media snippets e.g. https://www.telegraphindia.com/1170118/jsp/sports/story_130974.jsp this mentioned at the last AfD show him signing for Sintrense, and the article's infobox includes stats for that club. ''Soccerway'' has Sintrense data since 2013/14: in that time, https://us.soccerway.com/teams/portugal/su-sintrense/1731/squad/ no-one called Bharti, and no Indian player, has played for that club's first team. Nor can I find anything in the Portuguese media about his Sintrense career: one might have thought an Indian player enough of a novelty to have got a mention. Again, he may have been at Valladolid in some capacity, but his name doesn't appear on their youth team squad lists, which were archived regularly on the Wayback Machine. Start https://web.archive.org/web/20160214192304/http://www.realvalladolid.es:80/cantera/categoriasinferiores/plantilla/Juvenil-B/ here and go backwards and forwards in date and up and down the age groups: he's not there.So, if all we've got are puff pieces and exaggerations on self-publishing sites and other online media readily accessible to an assiduous intermediary, I don't see that as a GNG pass. cheers
