Contested draftification; returned to mainspace without any source containing WP:SIGCOV contra WP:NSPORT. A WP:BEFORE search turns up only database pages and routine match coverage, nothing that qualifies for WP:GNG/NSPORT. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe search in Ukrainian. I can see a lot of sources. Andriyrussu (talk) 18:06, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to share them (and add them to the article). I did indeed search in Ukrainian and found no SIGCOV, but if you can show me what I missed I’m happy to withdraw this nomination. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:10, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 22:10, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. Per WP:NFOOTBALL criteria 1: Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure. He played 11 matches for Obolon in a top national league. [1] Teterev53 (talk) 00:05, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NFOOTBALL, its guidance for players has been superseded by WP:Notability (sports), and is included below for information only as a record of the previous guidance that the Footy project came up with. NFOOTBALL is deprecated since 2022; footballers must meet WP:GNG with WP:SIGCOV. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:16, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How much sources are needed for player? Teterev53 (talk) 17:42, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Two WP:SIGCOV at a minimum. Giant Snowman 19:40, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 19:41, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there are some sources coming up in Ukrainian searches but none of them seem to show significant coverage. Sport Arena has a post-match Q&A and Sport.ua is just a transfer rumour yet those seem to be the best that I can find. The actual third party coverage about Marchenko in these news articles is next to nothing. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:41, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – @Dclemens1971: What do you mean by "contested"? @Spiderone: Is "thirdparty" coverage the same as "independent"? Anyway, I'd lean towards Delete. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 06:32, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Clariniie “contested draftification” means one user moved the article to draft and another user moved it back to mainspace. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:55, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Third party and independent are basically the same thing. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:24, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
