Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Only one source in article, where he is listed amongst all Livorno players who had birthday on 17 April [1]. Found no significant coverage during a search. While he appeared in one Serie A match, he spent the vast majority of his career in the Italian third and fourth tier [2].

Comments There is plenty of room for improvement, he played more than enough games. And I am going to have a go later at fixing it up. Completely disagree with this nomination and feel this is part of the delete culture to remove perfectly valid stub articles. Sources do exist out there, so do WP:OFFLINESOURCES. And if nominator did his WP:BEFORE, he would have found out straight away that Cozzi played a cup game for Inter and not a league game!! Govvy (talk) 09:20, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did a WP:BEFORE but unfortunately found nothing of significance. The source I linked to above listed him having played one Serie A match which was consistent with what the article stated. I nominated this recently deproded article due to the subjects lack of significant coverage, not due to the article's stub status. Note that being a professional football player, regardless of how many games the individual has played, does not equal notability per WP:NSPORT where it is clearly stated that the subject must pass WP:GNG. This is a career lower league player who seems to rarely have played more than half of his teams games (judging from the above source but I could be mistaken) and for whom we have no evidence that there is any kind of significant coverage of out there.

Comment The more I tried to look into this player, the harder it got. At first I thought he should pass GNG, not so sure if it's the same case. It really is a tough one, the additional sources I found were not much and I can't see this ever passing SPORTCRIT really. Govvy (talk) 14:25, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
