- Delete - no evidence of notability. Likely to be Iranian sources out there but I can't find any. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 21:08, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - It's surprising to nominate the article for deletion without reading the clear Wikipedia guideline for the notability of football players, as given here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability
- Aria Yousefi played mulitiple times for professional football club
Sepahan in
Iran Football Pro League, and he clearly fulfils the 1st criteria of Football Players Notability.

- @ Koorosh1234: That notability guidance has been superseded by WP:NSPORTS. This player does not have enough coverage to meet WP:SPORTSCRIT. –– FormalDude (talk) 15:14, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep, significant coverage if you look up the Farsi spelling of his name آریا یوسفی, such as the articles
here and
here.--

- Delete. The links offered above are two sentences in transactional news and the search results for "Aria Yousefi news", which, predictably, return 17 articles from "Aria News Agency" containing the term "Yousefi". The ones that actually mention Aria Yousefi are a routine match recap and five signing announcements regurgitated from the same press release. Not SIGCOV. JoelleJay ( talk) 03:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - Per Koorosh1234 and Ortizesp. young player with ongoing career in one of best Iranian clubs. Thanks, Das osmnezz ( talk) 16:33, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. There's not enough significant coverage to prove GNG. We have a lot of non-policy based arguments here. MarchOfTheGreyhounds ( talk) 00:16, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Young, ongoing career... Not relevant. There is no evidence that Yousefi meets GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC and that's the fundamental issue here. Nobody is disputing that the player is professional and that they have potential to be notable in the future. It goes without saying that, should there be a substantial increase in coverage about this footballer, the article can be created again. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:03, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
