Speedy deletion per WP:G4 was declined without a reason being provided. The underlying notability concerns remain. He has still not played in a fully pro league or for the Azerbaijan national team, and he has still not received significant coverage, meaning the article still fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG.

• Delete – Until he actually plays in a WP:FPL or for Azerbaijan in a Tier 1 match, Balayev fails WP:NFOOTY. A search on Google finds only WP:ROUTINE coverage and other non-reliable sources, thus WP:GNG is not met. — Jkudlick ^t c _s 05:34, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 09:09, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep - you're wrong, it actually plays and became the official German Bundesliga player of the club, in the club's official website here - Profile on official club website -- Nicat49 ( talk) 14:11, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply

WP:NSPORT explicitly says that it only applies to footballers who have played matches in a fully pro league or for their country's national team. Simply being signed to Eintracht Frankfurt is insufficient. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 16:33, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete: The page was already deleted once, and nothing changed since. He is registered with Budesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, but he has not played a single game for the club. WP:NFOOTY says that the player is notable if he "has played in" in a "fully professional league". But, this player did not play. Vanjagenije ( talk) 11:16, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTBALL as he hasn't played in a fully professional league and he doesn't have any senior international caps. IJA ( talk) 16:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete - Player fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played in a fully professional league, nor senior international football. No indication of any other achievements that have garnered sufficient, significant coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Fenix down ( talk) 13:20, 21 January 2015 (UTC) reply
