Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nematjan Zakirov
Article clearly does meet consensus guidelines . NFT reference is perfectly reliable to confirm that he has played international football in full FIFA recognised internationals, so not sure what the comment ''showcases no genuine biographical sources'' means either. Additionally, 1992–93 A PFG|this and 1993–94 A PFG|this referenced articles tie with the referenced career history indicate he was a member of a team in the top Bulgarian league for at least two seasons. They are recognised as a fully professional league now, and am willing to be proven wrong here, but I am working under the assumption that they were FPl then too, so that would be an additional NFOOTY criterion pass. Length of article is irrelevant, the article needs improving because of this not deleting
