Possible autobiographical article on a person of questionable notability. Google news search on "Rikard Utković" shows zero results. Standard search on the same shows only 37 unique results, none from reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 01:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per the nomination.--Juristicweb (talk) 23:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - How does this person fail Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people, summarized at WP:BASIC? Per the sources I presented above, both consisting of significant coverage in reliable sources, this person actually passes this guideline. See also: WP:PERNOM.

Delete - not enough to satisfy WP:GNG, and certainly fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 10:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unless there's any evidence for his actually playing in the Croatian top league for NK Zadar, which I've looked for without success. Of the two items of media coverage mentioned above, one is a standard piece in a careers magazine talking about what it's like working in sales for an IT company, and the other is a few lines in the local paper about him having a trial with the local ~~5th~~2nd-tier football team ~~who play in front of an average crowd of 123~~, hung on the fact that readers might have heard the surname because his sister is an Olympic handball player. Sorry, but that isn't WP:BASIC-level significant coverage of Mr Utkovic. Useful biographical material if notability were established by other means, certainly, but nowhere near enough to establish notability. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Struck out inaccurate bit of comment (got two Trollhattan teams mixed up, sorry): doesn't affect quality of source. Struway2 (talk) 07:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
