Was deprodded with the rationale that he did meet NFOOTY, however he does not meet WP:NFOOTY, having never played in a fully professional league. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:58, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I cannot read Japanese to verify if he did play in the Emperor's Cup - but if he did then he would meet WP:NFOOTBALL, as he played for a team from a fully-professional league in a competitive match against another team from a fully-professional league. However, more importantly, he fails WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage. Giant Snowman 21:28, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He has played in professional teams match. He meets WP:NFOOTBALL. --Amefuri2019 (talk) 00:51, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The articles source shows he was substituted in at minute 64, so he meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Not sure if WP:GNG is met, but can give benefit of the doubt as sourcing could be hard to find (since they're likely 9 year old Japanese articles) Jumpytoo Talk 01:22, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the clear failure of WP:GNG should take precedence over scraping by on WP:NFOOTY Spiderone 10:22, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
