This was deleted as a PROD but was contested and restored. Per
this Corbaz has played all his senior games in the
Swiss Challenge League which, according to
WP:FPL is not a fully professional league. Corbaz's sole appearance in Switzerland's national cup, the
Schweizer Pokal, was against
FC Winterthur in the 2015–2016 season. FC Winterthur was playing in the Swiss Challenge League that season. Corbaz has not played a game for the
senior Switzerland national team. All this shows that Corbaz does not meet
WP:NFOOTY.
This google search shows there is not enough in-depth, reliable sourcing focusing on Corbaz to mean he meets
WP:GNG. – YellowDingo(talk) 02:59, 11 September 2016 (UTC)reply

KeepProfile season 2016/17 on the Swiss Football League homepage surely meets
WP:GNG (significant coverage in reliable sources). I do not understand why the
Swiss Challenge League is not included in the
list of fully professional leagues kept by WikiProject Football, all the clubs are professional. Is it just because a few teams (
FC Chiasso,
FC Le Mont,
FC Wohlen) often field semi-pro players (???) If a club makes a loss it has it's licence revoked (example
FC Biel-Bienne January 2016). It is difficult enough trying to write on swiss football, without having well writen artikels being suggested for deletion. Okay, the english press do ignore swiss football, even the fact that
FC Basel became champions last season was ignored by the entire press. It would be great if editors would help improve swiss coverage, please don't delete, this makes everything even more difficult. Greetings from Switzerland --

Firstly regarding the source you linked to. That is what we call a
routine source which means it doesn't help the person pass
WP:GNG. The page, although it is about him, doesn't discus him or analyse him as Footballer. It is just a list of stats which any player in the Swiss leagues would have. Secondly, by a fully professional league, we mean that all the clubs are professional, i.e. all their players don't have a second job, the players get paid a wage that is sustainable etc.. Thirdly, per
WP:HARDWORK, just because you (or others) have put time into the article, and it is greatly appreciated, it doesn't mean we should keep the article. if the subject has no
notability then it should be deleted because if everything had an article Wikipedia would become less of an encyclopaedia and more of a social network. - YellowDingo(talk) 07:42, 12 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Comment – At the time this article was created, the
Swiss Challenge Leaguewas, and had been for several years, listed at
WP:FPL as fully professional. It was removed from the FPL list, not because it was proven to be non-fully pro, but because the
epfl-europeanleagues.com source used didn't guarantee fully professional status. (Still better than the crappy "
source" that proves the Swiss Super League fully pro, but that's by the by.) I'm not sure how good an idea it is to start deleting articles that were created in compliance with the notability criteria as they stood at the time. cheers,

I see what your getting at but I don't see why what the old notability standard was matters now. Just because we would of kept the article two years ago doesn't mean we should now. Also see
WP:LONGTIME. - YellowDingo(talk) 07:42, 12 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Delete - Fails
NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a
fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy
GNG.

Keep, why not... I've expanded it a bit, with reference to mostly routine sources but two or three significant ones: refs #3 and #27, and to some extent #23 are more than routine, although #3 is a local paper. I'd have done a fair bit better with him had the Swiss papers not all been hidden behind paywalls; it's frustrating when you get lots of promising-looking search results and they're all subscription only :-) If it isn't kept, at least there'll be a half decent base for someone to work from when Mr Corbaz does have his 15 minutes of fame in a fully pro league. And I do advise someone to try and find a credible source for the Swiss Super League being fully pro. cheers,

Delete as I concur with the claims here that the article is still not actually exhibiting how and where he's independently notable; the fact his career information is not exhibiting this, shows there's nothing convincing therefore.

Keep - enough credible and notable sources to pass
WP:GNG as Struway2 has previously noted. --Jimbo[online] 13:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)reply
