Keep- not sure why the claims of not meeting WP:GNG as the sourced reference seems pretty clear to me [1] - also see [2], [3] and others. Nfitz (talk) 21:41, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All three sources are easily dismissed. The one listed in the article was published by Nader Dastneshan, the manager who raised Roshanipour to the senior level, meaning its not independent of the subject, as he possibly stands something to gain from Roshanipour's success. The other two are match reports, making them routine coverage. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:25, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – clearly fails WP:NFOOTY and the lack of significant, independent coverage makes him fail WP:GNG as well. – Kosm1 fent 07:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - article about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 22:36, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
