Proposed deletion of Arevshat Khachatryan edit

 

The article Arevshat Khachatryan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Can you provide a source that indicates that the Virsliga is fully pro? Without such a source, Mr Khachatran's appearances in that league have no bearing on notability. On an unrelated point, when posting something to a talk page, you may want to type four tildes (~~~~) after what you've written. Doing so displays your username after what you've written so that others know who wrote it. Best Regards. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:59, 9 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'm afraid you've misunderstood my previous post. I'm not disputing the fact that Mr. Khacatryan has played in the Virsliga. Sources to confirm that are readily available. What I'm missing is a source to confirm that the Virsliga is fully professional. Wikipedia's inclusion criteria for footballers, WP:NSPORT, require a footballer to have either played in a fully pro league or his/her country's national team. Since he has not played internationally for Latvia or Armenia, I need confirmation that the league he has played in is in fact fully pro. Best Regards.

Once again, I'm afraid you're source is insufficient, as it says nothing on the professional status of the league. If you take a look at WP:FPL you'll see, there are several leagues, inlcuding the top flights in the other baltic states, that are their country's highest division and are not fully pro.

Wikipedia does not meet its own standards for reliability. You'll note that football section of the article you've cited is completely unsourced. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:14, 9 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
