PROD was rejected. Reason for PROD was that the player fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. That reason still stands. The games he has played were with current fully-pro teams but they were before the I-League began in 2007. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 18:12, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not only is the nominator mistaken in their claim that Mr Bose never played in the fully professional I-League, see e.g. February 2008, May 2010, February 2011, he is in fact a full senior international for India, having played twice against Pakistan in 2005 while he was still a Tollygunge player, see e.g. indianfootball.com, and also against Fiji in the same year. He thus passes both criteria of the football-specific notability guideline. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:44, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hm... your right. The international part was striking to me as I thought most of the squad from 05 were created but the source checks-out. Okay I will withdraw the nomination. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:47, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: per WP:NFOOTY, I-League is a recognised league where Bose played multiple years and was also played international matches for India. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 13:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per Struway2 and ArsenalFan700's reply! --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:54, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
