I am unable to find enough coverage of the subject to meet WP:GNG. Apart from a lot of trivial mentions, I found a few promotional pieces about his book (1, 2, 3), all of which let us know that the book "is available on Flipkart, and on Amazon for a price of Rs 650 in India, €14.23 in UK, and $14.90 in USA."

Delete. Page seems like advertisement and WP:PROMO on the subject, likely for the sale of books he has written. The sources do not have any significant coverage on the subject as footballer or even as an author. None of his achievements have any great coverage worthy of notice in the media. This page fails WP:GNG. RangersRus (talk) 12:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Played football at the highest level in Goa, is that significant? Atlantic306 (talk) 20:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I read through that, and half way through it blatantly felt PROMO, I would go as far to say as I feel this should be WP:G11. Govvy (talk) 09:51, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I had that inclination as well but chose to err on the safe side. The article turned six years old yesterday, if you could believe it. JTtheOG (talk) 16:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 19:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – @User:Rejoy2003 made a considerable amount of contributions to the article, I would like to see your arguments. Svartner (talk) 22:19, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - @User:Svartner My edits have solely been copyedits and grammar fixes, apart from working on the article lead, I don't remember adding any content, as the article is mostly as it is. I believe the subject is notable, although the references mentioned in the article may not contribute to its notability. The guy is a former footballer, having played for Salgaocar FC during the 1980s/1990s, they used to compete in the National Football League (India), the then highest men's football league in India. If we consider WP:NSPORT, the subject can pass notability. Goa being part of India and the presence of online media active during the 1990s seem difficult to find. Most of the sources of such people maybe available in old archives or newspapers, since the state of Goa has only been much active with the online media in the 2010s. After retirement, the subject seems to have also hosted a global Goan event known as the World Goa Today [1], even active in singing [2]. He also seems to have played/or is playing amateur football with former players from Salgoacar FC [3]. See O Heraldo search results of his name here [4]. Also he seems to have been based in Kuwait [5] or Qatar (see O Heraldo), which may be one of the reasons why there isn't much references from Goa-based or other Indian media. I'm not too familiar with the Arab news sources, apart from Arab Times, to which he has also contributed as a writer see [6]. If somehow this AFD does result in a keep, maybe an editor could tone down the promotional content. Rejoy²⁰⁰³(talk) 05:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For me this is enough to establish WP:GNG and keep. Svartner (talk) 04:57, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would anyone mind presenting the WP:THREE best sources? JTtheOG (talk) 17:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
