Brazilian player with almost no matches in Brazil, but with some spells in Portugal, Albania, Colombia and Peru in lower divisions, always accumulating less than 10 matches for the clubs (see Soccerway ([1] and ogol.com.br [2]). I don't know if it's a WP:HOAX or a case similar to the infamous Carlos Kaiser, but without WP:SIGCOV it seems completely absurd to me to maintain this article.

Comment: Some good coverage here stating he was known as the "Kaka of Arabia" during his Saudi Premier League stint and was on the cover of a video game. Some more here with several paragraphs of coverage. Also see 1, 2 and 3. I'm quite sure there's more coverage in Arabic. JTtheOG (talk) 21:24, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 21:58, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per comments below re:sources/notability. Giant Snowman 07:32, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: due to several pieces of coverage linked above. JTtheOG (talk) 01:02, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the page looks an absolute turd, and even the opening line "a former left-footed Brazilian football (soccer) midfielder." is just crying out for me to rewrite the whole thing, but I'm at a loss as to how people could still be saying delete after what JTtheOG has shared. There are in-depth articles about him, I concede that this one is mostly an interview [4] but why would a Portuguese website give that much space to someone we're alleging was a hoax of a banned user? Why are sources, years apart, in Brazil, Portugal and Peru writing about him? Anyway, a hoaxster would aim higher, I saw recently a story of a French player who got a contract in Lithuania through fake Wikipedia stats in which he had over a goal per game for QPR.

Keep - @GiantSnowman:, See above sources. Player with sources and comprehensive pro career in many fully pro leagues. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
