Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Evandro Rachoni De Lima
Clearly fails the subject-specific guideline, , because he hasn't played at senior international level or for a club from a fully professional league in a senior competition. The articles on BBC, FourFourTwo, the local paper cited in the WP article, and elsewhere are all reworkings of an interview with the subject that highlighted one event: a man chose to go and work in an unstable country but when it got more unstable he didn't like it so he left. As such, 1) those pieces can't be treated as multiple ''intellectually independent'' sources, per , and 2) so what? it's good background material, but not enough to make someone notable.All the facts in the original interviews come from the man himself, without independent corroboration. This https://br.sputniknews.com/mundo_insolito/20150213/155782.html piece on a Brazilian news site states that Rachoni was never at Arsenal Kyiv and that the Fluminense he claimed to have played for was not the well-known one but the Mineiro State League Div 2 side Fluminense de Araguari-MG. It also suggests that his economy with the truth on footballing matters casts doubt on his veracity in general. Whether true or not, it's hardly unprecedented that naive footballers get fooled into going to unsuitable places for jobs that either don't exist or exist under intolerable conditions, and no-one helps them when they want to get out. Sadly, it happens to hundreds of young Africans every year. And it's hardly unprecedented that unemployed persons talk up or whitewash their background to try and get attention and hopefully work, but he'd need to get to the standard of Alex Zarrelli mentioned above to be notable for that. I don't see a  pass. cheers
