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 on the grounds that Tezuka had played in the Japanese top flight this year. This assertion is not supported by reliable sources.

- Delete - According to Tezuka's Soccerway profile, he was named to the roster once in 2016, but remained on the bench for the entire match; he has no other senior football experience. Merely being named to the roster, even for the senior national team, is not enough to meet WP:NFOOTY. I find insufficient independent coverage by reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 11:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Suggestion to userfy-I'm seeing a lot of these prods on the author's userpage, and looking at their 5 year edit history, Japanese football is their bread-and-butter. Japanese football is growing and becoming a "thing" in the 9 years I've lived here. Why not userfy instead, as many of these up-and-comers may come up someday and the wheel won't need reinvented? Just my 2 yen.-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 12:51, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
