Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails
WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the article's creator without providing a reason.

All of these sources describe the league merely as professional. They do not confirm full professionalism as is required per
WP:NSPORT.

Comment I tried searching for "amateur" and "semi-pro(fessional)" together with the league name but didn't find anything mentioning these players in the league teams. There was no mention of something along the lines of "so-and-so, although one of the semi-pros, scored a magnificent goal", something which can be expected if it wasn't fully professional. -

That doesn't change the fact that the claim to notability remains unsourced per
WP:VNT.

Keep- as far as I know, there's been no previous discussion of whether this league is fully professional. It certainly claims it's professional.
[1] notes salaries of US$2,000 a month - which is about 15 times higher than that countries minimum wage - so one could easily subsist there on that kind of pay.
[2] notes that there are transfer fees that have to be paid for an amateur player that joins the professional league. This article
[3] discusses the league becoming professional in 2006 and the number of foreign players. This player auction indicates that there is some relatively significant coinage involved [

Comment what constitutes notability for footballers and what makes them pass or fail
WP:GNG and
WP:NFOOTBALL should be re-examined to avoid instances such as these when articles fall in that grey area.

Keep - Per Nfitz. Sources provided certainly seem to indicate that salary levels within the league are sufficient to conclude that it is fully professional, you don't have to be earning £m in order to be in a FPL. Additional links from others to me support this as it is always essentially impossible to find a source that uses the phrase "fully professional".

Keep both - Both are clearly notable fully professional footballers.
