In regard to this player, if you want there to be an article about him, there will need to be a review at Wikipedia:Deletion review. You can do this yourself if you want, or if you prefer I can start the deletion review for you. But if you want me to start the deletion review, you will need to provide me with a full explanation of why this player ought to have an article, taking into account the criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Association football. I do not know enough about the player to write the explanation myself. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:58, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
If you could start the deletion review process for me that'd be great. Sure I can tell you why he should have an article: The guy scored 46 league goals last season, thats joint second in all of europe, level with Ronaldo and just behind Messi. He has a reasonably good consistent scoring record and big things have been touted for his future.
I can link you to a couple of articles if you like: http://football.indesit.com/eu/2012/01/11/the-story-of-aleksandrs-cekulajevs/ http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/2292/editorials/2012/01/23/2862006/real-madrids-cristiano-ronaldo-moves-level-with-trans-narva-star- http://footydressingroom.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/obscure-player-watch-aleksandrs-cekulajevs/

- The deletion review is at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 July 4. By all means, please participate in the discussion there; I got the process going, but now it is up to you to carry forward the discussion about this player and his article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:34, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- It turned out that there was not a consensus to allow re-creation of the article; see Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 July 4. If Čekulajevs either plays for his country in officially sanctioned senior international competition, or plays in a fully professional league, it should be possible to get his article re-created at that time, though; see WP:NFOOTBALL. I don't follow European football enough to take notice of when he may accomplish those things, so this is probably the end of my involvement with this article. If you have further questions about getting this article restored, I recommend raising them at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football. You can contact me about other things, but I personally am probably not going to be able to do anything about the Aleksandrs Čekulajevs article. Sorry things didn't work out here. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:28, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
