Fails WP:NSPORT. Coverage of the subject appears limited to trivial coverage on athletic database websites—three are listed in the article's External links section: RomanianSoccer.co, StatisticsFootball.com (these two appear strangely similar in terms of website design, from certain fonts to even the colours and patterns of the websites' headers, so I question their independency from one another), and Soccerway. Per WP:SPORTCRIT, this is not enough to establish notability. I searched for other coverage of the subject on Google Search, Google News, and Google Books, but didn't find anything substantial. —Matthew - (talk) 04:53, 4 July 2022 (UTC)—

• Keep – Per a source review, and the aid of Google Translate, the subject meets WP:BASIC. Several sources provide significant coverage, although a couple of those listed above only provide mentions. Overall though, the subject meets WP:BASIC. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 10:55, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
