David Opara[edit]

Contested PROD, no reason given. Cypriot First Division is not a fully-professional league, therefore Opara fails WP:ATHLETE. Also fails WP:N due to any sources. --Jimbo^[online] 08:05, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - he has played at the highest level of football in Cyprus and thus can be regarded as notable. Eldumpo (talk) 10:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment highest level of football is not always notable because it's not always fully-professional as WP:ATHLETE criteria states. Would you consider players who play the highest level of football in countries such as Cook Islands or Montserrat notable? --Jimbo^[online] 11:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it will depend on the country, but I would say it's a reasonable premise (as a rule) for all European and South American top-level leagues due to the increased exposure and stature, and notably the continental competitions. Eldumpo (talk) 13:32, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You might say that, but Wikipedia guidelines do not, notably WP:ATHLETE. пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 15:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
