Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fábio Pereira da Silva (2nd nomination)
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
