Fails WP:GNG, WP:NSPORT due to lack of WP:SIGCOV. The PROD contestor proposed several sources on the talk page, but they are all WP:ROUTINE match coverage and transfer news items, none of them providing SIGCOV of this athlete. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC) Sufficient sources have been identified in this AfD. Nomination withdrawn. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:49, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: I can't find any sources that could be suitable for this article, only profiles. There are no reference sources in this article, except one and that's it. that's very weak. Alon9393 (talk) 23:22, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

  Take a look here [1] please. There are dozens of articles directly about that person. Even a short documentary [2]. Pelmeen10 (talk) 09:13, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

  Comment. With all due respect Alon9393, and not to get off topic, you have been asked several times by several established editors on your talk page to maybe proceed with caution, or familiarize yourself with Wiki policies before engaging in afd and deletion discussions for a variety of reasons: possible WP:COI, WP:CANVASS, accusations of WP:PA, the speed of which you are making judgments in afd and deletion discussions, grounding your arguments and nominations on personal opinions, and subverting Wiki policies to ensure that an article you created was rescued through an AfD process so that it remained.

ExRat Hello, Greetings, could you explain the question again, I don't understand it, are you asking me about Mattias Männilaan or about another matter, which does not come to this AFD. I await your response. Alon9393 (talk) 23:18, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

It wasn't a question. You are within your rights as an editor to take part in this discussion. I was stating that your participation in discussions so far have rankled several established users who have brought up numerous issues with your behavior, possible violations, and your contributions thus far. That's all. As for Mattias Männilaan, see Pelmeen10's contributions — there are numerous articles from reputable sources provided now that constitute WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT.

• Keep Passes GNG. I don't believe the nominator checked all the 79 sources that Soccernet.ee has about the person. And no, they are not WP:Routine (which would be scores and squad line-ups). Here's more interviews from saaremaasport Pelmeen10 (talk) 09:41, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
• Question I have no idea, what about the sources also at ru:Мяннилаан, Маттиас ? Are those any good? Govvy (talk) 09:46, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
• Keep per references found by Pelmeen10. Several of those sources are not WP:ROUTINE. One Saarte Hääl article even has a link to a nearly 40 minute documentary on him. Easily passes WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. ExRat (talk) 19:44, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
• Keep per specific example of WP:SIGCOV identified by other editor. Nomination withdrawn. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:49, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 18:28, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
• Keep per sources above which show notability. GiantSnowman 18:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
