The result was delete. Consensus to delete. No sources providing significant coverage put forward and no other arguments put forward, except to claim that he is notable or that he has interviewed notable people. Neither of those arguments establish any consensus for notability. TigerShark (talk) 03:48, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think he is notable enough since he has granted interview to notable soccer professionals daSupremo 22:19, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
